The exploration of concepts for projectile toys
(cont.) The second concept, eDarts, involved incorporating a capacitor powered micro-circuit and LED into foam darts similar to those used in the current line of Nerf® products. The eDarts created a tracer shot or laser bullet" effect when used in low light conditions. Safety, projectile mass, and …

Teaching the Unknowable: Does Analogy Lead to Implicit Skill Acquisition in a Dart-Throwing Task?
… On Day 1, dart novices learned to throw darts as close as possible to the centre of a target under one of three scenarios: control (without instruction), implicit (while performing a distracting secondary task), and analogy (while imagining an analogous physical image). Each participant …

Tailored Precision Building: DC Fashion Incubator/Epicenter
… precision to create architectural seams, edges, darts, and connections. By coincidence, luck, or destiny, this thesis is also the beginning of Washington DC as a fashion capital of the world by being the epicenter to the new movement on fashion in DC.

Preference for imagery perspective, imagery perspective training and task performance
… both training groups improved performance on the darts and table tennis skills significantly more than the control group. In addition, an analysis of actual reported use of imagery perspective, irrespective of training group, revealed that internals improved performance significantly more on the …

Dynamic model for space-time weather radar observation and nowcasting
… Dynamic and Adaptive Radar Tracking of Storms (DARTS) is developed and evaluated using the synthesized and the observed radar reflectivity. To tackle the high dimensionality and model the spatial variability of radar observations, a general modeling framework is formulated and the singular value …

Effects of altered sensory input from the neck on cerebellar function, body schema and sensorimotor integration
… upper extremity dart throwing. Three sets of ten darts were thrown at a slow-to-normal speed and three sets of ten darts were thrown at a fast speed. Compared to healthy participants, SCNP participants showed significantly greater elbow and forearm variability in motor selection, greater peak …

Design For Movement: Block Pattern Design For Stretch Performancewear
… profile shape. Producing a pattern, without darts, to closely adhere to the contours of the body without restricting movement, is a contradiction in design terms. In woven fabric, darts and ease are used to manipulate the fabric around the form and allow movement. However, in stretch knit …

Discovery of Novel Tubulin Polymerization Inhibitors and Survivin Inhibitors as Potential Anticancer Agents
… and drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) assay. This set of compounds selectively inhibited the expression of survivin over other IAP proteins and also protected survivin from digestion by pronase in the DARTS assay. The most potent compound from the in vitro assay effectively …

The development of a method for determining the best-fit shape for the crotch seam of men's pants
… incorporating ease and style features (such as darts and pleats) being incorporated into the shape of the crotch seam. From this study it has been learned that an instrument can be developed which can identify the crotch point and reproduce the crotch shape for male subjects. Future research …

Plasticity and impact test studies on thermoplastic materials, finite element analysis and experimental correlation
… the plate perforation test with hemispherical darts, were used as correlation tests with simulations in order to validate not only the used constitutive elasto-plastic models based on the Von Mises yield criteria, but also to check the influence of different simulation variables. The parameters …

Molecular target identification of antimalarial drugs using proteomic and metabolomic approaches
Malaria is a parasitic infectious disease that results in millions of clinical cases per year and accounts for approximately 1 million deaths annually. Because the parasite has developed resistance to all current antimalarials, new therapies are urgently needed. Purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis …
