Attitudes to aging mediate the relationship between older peoples’ subjective health and quality of life in 20 countries.
Download2013
Low, G., Molzahn, A. E., Schopflocher, D.
Background With ever-increasing life expectancy globally, it is imperative to build knowledge of how older peoples’ views of their own aging, considering their health-related circumstances, affect quality of life for practitioners and policy-makers alike. Based on our literature review, we wanted...

The use of natural dyes in the textile industry is certainly nothing new. Natural dyes have been used for centuries as a way to color fabric. In fact, indigo—one of the best known natural dyes—was used in a piece of clothing dating all the way back to 2500 BC. The invention of synthetic dyes in...

Tikhonchuk, V. T., Voronkov, I., Samson, J. C., Rankin, Robert
A model is presented that describes the excitation of density perturbations and parallel electric fields by standing shear Alfven waves on dipole fields in Earth's magnetosphere. The model includes the effects of electron inertia and gyro-kinetic dispersion, accounting for field-aligned...

Automated Microscopy and Particle Size Analysis of Dynamic Fragmentation of Natural Ceramics
Download2013
Castillo, Josemar, Rogers, Robert J., Rawle, Alan, Spray, John, Hogan, James
The dynamic fragmentation of gabbro and granitoid tiles, and coarser and finer grained granitoid blocks have been examined for impact energies of 21–6180 J. Intra-grain fragmentation and inter-granular frictional melting were observed to be common features of the fragmentation process....

Nikolai A. Sinkov, Brandon M. Johnston, P. Mark L. Sandercock, and James J. Harynuk
Direct chemometric interpretation of raw chromatographic data (as opposed to integrated peak tables) has been shown to be advantageous in many circumstances. However, this approach presents two significant challenges: data alignment and feature selection. In order to interpret the data, the time...

Automated semantic segmentation of NiCrBSi-WC optical microscopy images using convolutional neural networks
Download2022-01-01
Rose, D., Forth, J., Henein, H., Wolfe, T., Qureshi, A.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were used for the semantic segmentation of angular monocrystalline WC from NiCrBSi-WC optical microscopy images. This deep learning approach was able to emulate the laborious task of manual segmentation effectively, with a mean intersection over union (IOU)...

Automated terrestrial laser scanning with near-real-time change detection – monitoring of the Séchilienne landslide
Download2017-01-01
Kromer, Ryan A., Abellán, Antonio, Hutchinson, D. Jean, Lato, Matt, Chanu, Marie-Aurelie, Dubois, Laurent, Jaboyedoff, Michel
We present an automated terrestrial laser scanning (ATLS) system with automatic near-real-time change detection processing. The ATLS system was tested on the Séchilienne landslide in France for a 6-week period with data collected at 30 min intervals. The purpose of developing the system was to...

Automated Topic Naming Supporting Cross-project Analysis of Software Maintenance Activities
Download2013
Hindle, Abram, Ernst, N.A., Godfrey, M.W., Mylopoulos, J.
Software repositories provide a deluge of software artifacts to analyze. Researchers have attempted to summarize, categorize, and relate these artifacts by using semi-unsupervised machine-learning algorithms, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). LDA is used for concept and topic analysis to...
