Objects of Collaboration: Roles and Sequences of Objects in Spanning Knowledge Group Boundaries in Design by Brubaker, Eric R, Sheppard, Sheri D, Hinds, Pamela J, Yang, Maria C

“…We illustrate two prominent outcomes—the co-discovery of a design risk, opportunity, or bottleneck and the co-design of a joint integrated solution—and describe two object role sequences from which these outcomes seem to follow. These findings are significant because they suggest ways for designers to effectively use objects to span knowledge group boundaries.…”

On time-domain NRBC for Maxwell's equations and its application in accurate simulation of electromagnetic invisibility cloaks by Wang, Bo, Yang, Zhiguo, Wang, Li-lian, Jiang, Shidong

“…Different from the existing models, it contains only one unknown field and the seemingly complicated convolutions can be computed as efficiently as the temporal convolutions in the NRBC. …”

Fatigue in multilayered steels by Kumar, Punit, Msolli, Sabeur, Jhon, Mark H., Ramamurty, Upadrasta

“…While the quasistatic tensile stress-strain responses of both the sheets are nearly-identical, fatigue strength of sheets with austenitic outer layers is substantially higher than those with martensitic layers, due mainly to the nature of residual stress distribution in the two sheets. …”

From private entrepreneurship to state monopoly: contracting Swiss soldiers for Dutch Service under Ancien Régime Fiscal- Military Practices (1693–1829) by Depreter, M

“…This contribution examines Dutch contracting practices to hire Swiss troops during the Ancien Régime, from the first contracts directly negotiated in the Protestant cantons by Petrus Valckenier (1693-1694) during the Nine Years’ War, seizing opportunities arisen from Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) after a period during which the Dutch seem to have relied on uncertain access to Swiss manpower through French intercession, up to the end of a short-lived revival of Swiss foreign regiments in the newly-instated Kingdom of the Netherlands (1814-1829). …”

Teaching strategies for environmental education by Stokes, David, Crawshaw, Bruce

“…For the Lay Group, experiential methods, where the student's attitudes are challenged by experiences in either an in-service situation or through simulation exercises, seem to be most appropriate.…”

A Preliminary Study to Understand the SMEs’ Readiness on IOT in Malaysia by Ahmad Zaidi, Mohamad Faizal, Belal, H. M.

“…In addition, although the respondents do not feel discomfort with IoT, they do seem undecided either to trust it or not. It was also found that top managements feel more optimism with IoT, but at the same time also feel more insecure with it. …”

A nonlinear piezoelectric energy harvester with magnetic oscillator by Tang, Lihua, Yang, Yaowen

“…Both experiment and simulation show the benefits from the dynamics of the magnetic oscillator. In the experiment, nearly 100% increase in the operating bandwidth and 41% increase in the magnitude of the power output are achieved at an excitation level of 2 m/s2.…”

Television as a site of social and ideological contestation : an analysis of the producer-audience dynamic, and the interpretation and reproduction of meanings associated with tele... by Tan, Mildred Lin

“…Such may result in making television viewing less relevant, and with new foreign content sprouting, Singapore drama series seem less appealing. However, viewing of Singapore drama series on the television played an important role in the lives of average Singaporeans before the advent and prevalent use of the Internet. …”

“…Also observed is this latent attraction towards fire, its brilliance, its movements and warmth (provided the fire is right in front of the spectator.) We seem to be easily captivated by fire, and its presence is significant, and a link should be drawn with our ancestral root that strongly suggests this hard-wired tendency that most of us display. …”

Amid creating the pleasure moments with each other and the family, negative feelings do not get to withdraw too; like how there is plus and minus sign, like how there is north and south, everything coexist. …”

Mobility and community at Mesolithic Lake Onega, Karelia, north-west Russia: insights from strontium isotope analysis by Eckelmann, R, Arppe, L, Tarasov, A, Pospieszny, Ł, Ackerman, L, Heyd, V, Gerasimov, D, Moiseyev, V, Fairbanks, V, Hyland, C, Mannermaa, K

“…These results suggest that the YOO cemetery predominantly served as a burial place for those with semi-permanent residence in this area, with no significant evidence for gender-based relocation patterns indicative of patri- or matrilocal residency. However, materials seem to have travelled towards Lake Onega even over great distances and the presence of the two outlier individuals suggests these exchanges also involved long-distance travel of people. …”
