Perceived Benefits of Curling in Older Canadian Women
… and by extension sport, should be considered. Curling is a popular sport, enjoyed particularly by older adults, and as such this study sought to examine the experiences of older Canadian women who were regular participants in this sport. Seventeen women were interviewed to explore their …

The Effects of Cognitive General Imagery Use on Tactical Decision-Making in Curling
… imagery use on tactical decision-making in curling. This dissertation is divided into four studies. Study 1 outlines the two-stage development of the Curling Strategy Assessment Tool (CSAT-2), a computerized measure of curlers’ tactical decision-making (i.e., response accuracy and response …

Impact of structure, material properties, temperature curling, and trafficking on load transfer efficiency
… the effect that temperature induced slab curling can have on joint LTE (S). Analysis is conducted from full scale accelerated pavement test data from the National Airport Pavement Test Facility (NAPTF) operated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). LTE (S) is determined through …

Excellence and Performance Improvement: The Goals and Standards Guiding Skill Development in USA Curling
… among elite adult curlers in the United States. Curling teams compete internationally, aiming to enhance skills, win prize money, and qualify for events like the World Curling Championships and Winter Olympics. The study involved 28 elite curlers (female n = 14) from the US National and Junior …

Part of the Club, Not of the Club: The Experiences of Racialized Women in Canadian Curling
… of racialized women who participate in curling in Ontario, Canada. Drawing from eleven semi-structured interviews, I argue that racialized women are not simply underrepresented in sport but actively marginalized by oppressive systems of patriarchy, classism, and racism that are deeply …

Effect of light stress on the homoiochlorophyllous resurrection plant Craterostigma wilmsii
… as well as leaves which had been restrained from curling during drying, were separately examined. Differences in chlorophyll ( a + b) content, carotenoid (x + c) content, anthocyanin content, ascorbate peroxidase activity, and ultrastructure, were assessed. Shaded inner whorl leaves do not …

Response of Concrete Structures Subject to Material Aging and Volume Instability
… of material and geometric parameters on slab curling behavior. The research revealed the influence of material parameters, slab geometry and base properties on slab curling behavior."

Influence of moving load, structure, temperature gradient, and wheel configuration on load transfer efficiency
… transfer efficiency. FAARFIELD does not consider curling stresses in determining the Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) layer thickness. The curling stresses, induced due to the temperature differentials at the top and bottom of the PCC slab can lead to higher combined stresses (loading plus curling) …

Active Response of Polymer Materials from External Stimuli – Solvents and Light; Grafting Reactions on Perovskite Layers
… of polymer thin films involved extensive, rapid curling both on infusion and evaporation of good solvents. These films can be either lab-fabricated ones or commercial ones, and the curling behavior can be as fast as seconds. Conditions including polymer materials, chosen solvents, and film …

REGULATION OF CALCIUM INFLUX AND REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES PRODUCTION DURING INFECTION OF LEGUMES BY RHIZOBIA
… infection and is involved in normal root hair curling and infection thread development. Two pieces of evidence directly link ROP signalling with the NF-induced calcium influx: gap1 mutants were hypersensitive for induction of the calcium influx, and there was a reduction in the number of …

Mechanistic Analysis of in-Service Airfield Concrete Pavement Responses
The effect of temperature curling on pavement responses was analyzed. A theoretical analysis of the effect of pavement temperature distribution on total and load-induced responses is presented and complemented with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The analysis of in-situ interface condition was based …

Flexural behavior of prestressed concrete monoblock crossties
… and transverse direction. Warping or curling due to temperature gradients is a well-documented behavior in concrete pavements, girders, and slab-track, but this behavior has not been documented in concrete crossties. Curling in concrete crossties was investigated using finite element …

Genetic analysis for heat tolerance in tropical maize (zea mays)
… in Lusitu with regards to total biomass, curling of leaves, chlorophyll concentration index (CCI), vigour and plant height. The genotypes P2 (DTS 6,36) x P4 (DTS 6,6) and P4 (DTS 6,6) x P5 (DTS 6,92)were identified as tolerant genotypes. Further analysis showed that parent P4 (DTS 6, 6) …

The ecological significance of leaf movements in Rhododendron maximum
… were designed to separate the influence of leaf curling and leaf angle on leaf energy budget, gas-exchange characteristics, chlorophyll contents and leaf longevity. Leaf movements were found to have a significant influence on leaf physiology and longevity of R. maximum. Without changes in leaf …

Recognizing actions using embodiment & empathy
… a worm-like creature performing actions such as curling and wiggling. To attack the action recognition problem, I developed a computational model of empathy (EMPATH) which allows me to recognize actions using simple, embodied representations of actions (which require rich sensory data), even when …
