Firm-Centered Approaches to Overcoming Semi-Peripheral Constraints by Avlijaš, S, Gartzou-Katsouyanni, K

“…Instead, we argue there is much to learn from firm-centered approaches about how the main economic decision-makers, namely, firms, engage with the constraints and opportunities that they face. …”

Methodology for domain ontology development with human-centered design by Iqbal, Rizwan

Passive acoustic tracking of an unmanned underwater vehicle using bearing-Doppler-speed measurements by Kita, Kristen Railey, Randeni, Supun, DiBiaso, Dino, Schmidt, Henrik

“…The propeller rotation rate can be estimated from the motor signature and converted to speed using a pre-identified model of the robot. The bearing-Doppler-speed measurements outperformed traditional bearing-Doppler target motion analysis: the bearing, bearing rate, range, and range rate accuracy improved by a factor of 2×, 16×, 3×, and 6×, respectively. …”

Different icosahedra in metallic glasses : stability and response to shear transformation by Wang, Chang Chun., Wong, C. H.

“…Newly created icosahedra during the deformation process are as prone as non-icosahedral atoms with low-population polyhedra to the formation of shear transformation zones (STZs). Interconnected networks have been proven to play a critical role on their response to shear strain. …”

Longitudinal shear behaviour in composite slab with profiled steel decking by Ang, Yi Wen

“…Composite slabs with profiled sheeting are broadly used in steel framed structures throughout the world. Its shear behaviour is a complex phenomenon to be explored, and hence, experimental and theoretical studies are carried out to investigate its shear strength under imposed flexural loading to evaluate using m-k method, Partial Interaction method and Force Equilibrium method. …”

Effects of hemodynamic shear stress on circulating breast cancer cells by Khairunisa Liyana Abdul Malek

“…The ability of a cancer cell to relocate to a distal location and subsequently form tumours largely depends on its ability to withstand hemodynamic shear stress in the blood vessel. While previous studies have shown that cancer cells have an enhanced resistance towards these intense conditions, little is known whether a tumour cell's metastatic ability is correlated to its ability to survive high shear stress levels over a prolonged period of time. …”

Modeling Strategic Interventions to Increase Attendance at Youth Community Centers by Moro-Araujo, Alejandro, Alonso Pastor, Luis, Larson, Kent

“…However, determinants influencing attendance at community centers remain largely unexplored. The novelty of our research comes from using census data, Boston Centers for Youth and Families (BCYF) attendance data, and specific center attributes, to develop human mobility gravitational models that have been used, for the first time, to predict attendance across the BCYF network. …”
