Beyond consumption experiences.
… to regulate his/her sensing, relative to his/her reference value(s). Seen through this cybernetic lens, momentary human being comprises of a cyclical, ongoing process of self-regulation, in which individuals expediently employ and/or modify accessible resources and goings-on, in the service of …

Microwave Impedance Microscopy Of Nanostructured Carbon
… sample, and thereafter the output ∆Y is given a reference value in siemens. Simulations also provide a means of extracting sample conductivity and permittivity from admittance, a procedure verified by comparing the estimated permittivity of polytetrafluoroethlyene (PTFE) to the accepted value. …

Development of a micro-FID using a diffusion flame
… per mole (C/mol) was calculated and taken as a reference value of ionization efficiency. The result was 1.959x10-2 C/mol for methane which was about 34 times higher compared to the result obtained using a counter-flow flame, which was 5.73x10-4 C/mol for methane, while one of the commercial …

A Study of Machine Learning based on Physical Load Classification
… networks. This method can be used to provide a reference of the drive torque size and drive mode for the drive assist unit of an exoskeleton robot or a sports rehabilitation machine to achieve automatic determination of the torque size of the assist. It can reduce the energy consumption of the …

Failure Mechanisms and Strength of Non-Persistent Rock Joints
… strength along joint and rock bridge is a useful reference condition. The Bridge Mobilized Strength Ratio, BMSR, provides a means of assessing how much of the reference strength along the bridge is mobilized. The MBSR is the ratio of (mobilized shear strength minus shear strength of joint) to …

Fuzzy Model Reference Learning Control for Smart Lights
… the experimental testbed to a desired voltage reference value, and to test the performance of the fuzzy controllers under cross-illumination effects, and bulb and sensor failures. As an initial approach, a decentralized (i.e., no communication between controllers) nonadaptive fuzzy controller …

Investigating the Illusion of Wetness: Cold Dry Stimuli in Sensory Perception
… threshold averaged 0.9 °C/s -1.06 °C/s at a reference value of 0. 5 °C/s. For perceiving wetness, the threshold averaged 1.08 °C/s - 1.41 °C/s. The latter finding indicates that the rate the skin cools exceeds some threshold value before it is perceived as being wet. A third experiment …

Economically optimum design of cusum charts when there is a multiplicity of assignable causes
… (i.e. sampling interval, decision limit, reference value and sample size) of a cusum chart and the cost and risk factors of the process to the long run average loss cost per hour for the process. Optimum designs for various sets of cost and risk factors are found by minimizing the long run …

Grounded by the prices : Internal carbon pricing as a means to reduce corporate air travel
… carbon credits or social cost of carbon as a reference value, are largely inadequate to lead travel method changes. Even an exceptionally high carbon price of 1,000 euros leads to travel method change only on one case in ten, and even when additional costs are excluded the share of travel …

An inverse method for obtaining the attenuation profile and small variations in the sound speed and density profiles of the ocean bottom
… of these acoustic properties from a known reference value to the plane wave reflection coefficient is derived. This is then linearised using the Born approximation. The region of validity of the Born approximation is derived and based on this the optimum angular aperture for the input data …

GIS methods for screening potential environmental justice areas in New England
… density. For each variable a scale and threshold/reference value is determined; also, the possibility of establishing a ranking system was contemplated. The importance of investigating spatial clustering and integrating variables into combined criteria was also discussed. This research began with …

Review of inorganic arsenic toxicity on avian wildlife
… and population-level consequences. Published reference values are prescribed by regulatory agencies for the assessment of risk under the ERA process. The avian/inorganic arsenic toxicity profile completed in this study provided a means to critically review select published reference values and …

ADENOCARCINOMA DE GLÂNDULA SUBMUCOSA NO ESÔFAGO EM UM CÃO: RELATO DE CASO
… only alkaline phosphatase was above the reference value. The radiography revealed that in the cervical position of the trachea there is a structure of radiolucent opacity, evidencing dorsal displacement of the trachea. In the chest region, it has pulmonary fields with increased …

An Efficient Method for Measuring the Dispersion Coefficient in Rivers
… had ADCP estimates within 50% of the tracer reference value. Simultaneous measurements on two Florida rivers showed the ADCP estimated performed better at higher flows and on the river with less dead zones and secondary channels. Reach average ADCP estimates of K performed better than local …

Experimental evaluation of monotonic and cyclic fracture behavior using disk-shaped compact tension test and released energy approach
… from the monotonic DC(T) test was used as a reference value for determining loading magnitudes of the cyclic DC(T) test for a given mixture and test temperature. For data analysis, the released energy approach was introduced as a key concept to characterize the cyclic fracture data generated …

The viability of transforming stormwater detention ponds into infiltration ponds on the Cape Flats, South Africa
… its financial viability. Furthermore, the unit reference value of the scenario was lower than that of desalination, suggesting that combining groundwater use with SWH via MAR is economically more attractive than seawater desalination. Overall, this study provides evidence for the viability of …

An inverted pressurized water reactor design with twisted-tape swirl promoters
… design was 4078MW, 19 percent higher than the reference PWR (the Seabrook Power Station), limited simultaneously by the core pressure drop and steady state departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) constraints. While the thermal power is already higher than that of typical pressurized water …

Control of Pseudo-Sinusoidal Switched Reluctance Motor with Zero Torque Ripple and Damped Input Current Ripple
… current cannot rise from zero to the nominal value instantaneously due to the existence of the phase inductance. Second, a new torque control scheme is proposed. The new torque control of SRM is split into two cascade sub-tasks. At first, a current reference for ripple free torque is …

Automatic skeletonization and skin attachment for realistic character animation.
… Although existing research is of significant reference value to animation, their downside is the skeleton generated is either not appropriate for the particular needs of animation, or the methods are computationally expensive. Although some purpose-build animation skeleton generation …
