An analysis of contact stiffness and frictional receding contacts by Parel, KS

“…Then, a fundamental 2D frictional receding contact problem involving a homogeneous linear elastic infinite layer pressed by a line load onto a half-plane of the same material was analysed. This was done by the insertion of preformed distributed dislocations (or eigenstrains), which take into account the correct form of the separation of the interface at points away from the area of loading, along with corrective bounded-bounded distributions. …”

Exploring the Dynamics of Canine-Assisted Interactions: A Wearable Approach to Understanding Interspecies Well-Being by Holder, Timothy R. N., Nichols, Colt, Summers, Emily, Roberts, David L., Bozkurt, Alper

“…Also, we observed in our pilot study that (a) the canine heart rate was more dynamic than the human’s during interactions, (b) the surveys proved to be the best indicator of the subjects’ affective state, and (c) the behavior coding approaches best tracked the bond quality between the interacting dyads. Notably, we found that most of the interaction sessions were characterized by extended neutral periods with some positive and negative peaks, where the bonded pairs might display decreased behavioral synchrony. …”

Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…Research findings supported the hypotheses that agricultural transformation was impeded by the three factors: 1) an industrialisation-inspired de-facto currency overvaluation regime removed farmers’ potential to capture export markets, the latter serving as a “carrot” for adopting innovation; 2) trade protectionist policies in the rice sector removed import competition as a “stick” for adopting innovation; and 3) industrialisation- and land reform-related capital scarcity among smallholder farmers hindered the dynamics of IIA from taking place. …”
