Human observers are remarkably proficient at recognizing expressions of emotions and at readily grouping them into distinct categories.When morphing one facial expression into another, the linear changes in low-level features are insufficient to describe the changes in perception, which instead follow an s-shaped function.Important questions are, w
It is well known that slipping in automotive clutches is closely related to the concave deformation of the pressure Fenders plate, but the mechanism of this deformation is not clear.A simplified model of a pressure plate assembly is developed by simulating the deformation field of the plate under the condition of continuous sliding, followed by nat
Abstract The molecular identity and pharmacological properties of mechanically gated ion channels in sensory neurons are poorly understood.We show that FM1-43, a styryl dye used to fluorescently label cell membranes, permeates mechanosensitive ion channels in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons, resulting in blockade of three previously defined s
Qualitative research is a useful tool for understanding extension programs and can complement quantitative methods, because Sleeper Sofas qualitative information, such as interviews, focus groups, ethnography, observation, and case studies, can help faculty gain a rich understanding of the issues they are addressing.This revised 4-page fact sheet p
In this manuscript, we explore the sensor properties of epitaxially grown graphene on silicon carbide decorated with nanolayers of CuO, Fe3O4, V2O5, or ZrO2.The sensor devices were investigated in regard to their response towards NH3 as a typical reducing gas and CO, C6H6, CH2O, and NO2 as gases of interest for air quality monitoring.Moreover, the
