Ultrasonic hot spots in solids
… (EM). Direct experimental evidence of such hot spots, however, is exceptionally limited; mechanisms for their generation are poorly understood and methods to control their locations remain elusive. Typical solid explosives are composites of EM crystals with polymer binders. Multiple mechanisms …

Hot spots in ammonium nitrate
Ammonium nitrate (AN) is commonly used as an explosive and as a fertilizer. In both roles it is provided as prills or pellets, approximately spherical and a few millimetres in diameter. The microstructures of several commercially-available AN compositions were investigated using environmental …

Behaviour of accelerating entropy spots
… density and composition (entropy and composition spots) through narrow passages such as nozzles or turbine guide vanes. Entropy-generated sound waves are both transmitted downstream of the acceleration point, contributing to the overall noise emission, and reflected upstream, where they may couple …

Analysis of breast tissue microarray spots
… normal, stroma, or fat. Tumour and normal spots are then assigned a so-called quickscore composed of a pair or integer values, the first reflecting the proportion of epithelial nuclei that are stained, and the second reflecting the strength of staining of those nuclei. In this work, an …

Miniature Thermoelectric Coolers for On-Chip Hot Spots
… The resulting localized high heat flux "hot spots" are becoming a major difficulty due to their propensity for degrading microprocessor performance and for significantly reducing chip reliability. Most conventional cooling techniques provide uniform cooling to the device and do not focus much …

From big spots to little spots: Influence of camera trap deployment on spatial capture-recapture estimates of servals (Leptailurus serval) in Ithala Game Reserve
Servals (Leptailurus serval) face a range of threats which can impact their populations, but we have little information on their conservation status across much of their range. Repeated population density estimates are the most useful parameter for assessing population trends and the impacts of …

Biases and Blind-Spots In Genome-Wide Crispr-Cas9 Knockout Screens
… observations reveal significant biases and blind-spots in the analysis of CRISPR-based functional genomics approaches and offer new opportunities for the discovery of novel candidate drug targets.</p>

The Menstrual Cycle in Psychotherapy: Interventions, Therapist Engagement, and Blind Spots
<p>There is a dearth of literature on psychotherapy and menstruation, except for the treatment and diagnosis of issues associated with premenstrual distress. This study aimed to bridge this gap by investigating the frequency and context of discussions about the menstrual cycle, the factors …

Assessing the Impact of Increased Police Officer Presence In Micro Hot Spots
… the finality of the project. Sixteen micro hot spots were identified using two years of crime and call for service data from the KCPD. Randomization assigned the hot spots to the treatment or control areas. Specifically included in the thesis are five treatment areas alongside six control areas. …

Integrative therapists’ clinical experiences of personal blind spots: an interpretative phenomenological analysis
… the implicit domain of participants’ blind spots, researcher reflexivity served as a secondary but integral data source and provided the experiential context from which meaningful findings emerged. Three superordinate themes and seven subthemes emerged from the interviews: Feeling under …

Diffraction Between the Spots: Scanning Electron Diffraction of Beam-sensitive Disordered Materials
… Much of this can be gleaned from diffraction spots, but even more of the information lies in-between the spots in a diffraction pattern. The diffracted intensity outside of the diffracted spots contains the necessary information to not only obtain structural information, but to also …

Black spot analysis : infrastructure impacts on black spots in the Western Cape N1
… investigated for accident types and potential hotspots. An ArcGis analysis was also performed on the data. Fatal accidents were analysed, to determine whether the Provincial Government of the Western Cape would meet their accident reduction goals of reducing accidents by 50% between the years 2009 …

Misjudging our Influence on Others: Blind Spots in Perceptions of Peer Use of Advice
… of their advice? Or, do they possess blind spots that prevent them from doing so? I focus on whether advisors recognize the information they need in order to form judgments of the impact of their advice, which I call "impact judgments". Four studies demonstrate that advisors have blind spots …
