Scattering from periodic array of parallel strips
The field distribution between strips in a periodic array of parallel strips was modeled. The electric field integral equation (EFIE) together with method of moments was employed to solve the problem. The incident plane wave was assumed to be transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE). …

Flexural Mechanics of Creased Thin Metallic Strips
… understanding of the mechanics of creased thin strips, where the crease is given a discrete geometry, and explores the nature of localisation. It also provides the foundation to explore the mechanics of thin sheets featuring a network of creases. This offers the opportunity to improve the …

Critical care nurses' knowledge of cardiac rhythm strips
… were at the competent level in interpreting EKG strips. Approximately 15% (14) were not at the competent level. Nurses with greater years of critical care experience scored higher on the competency test than those with less experience (r =.274, p =.006). In addition, as a group BSN nurses scored …

Comparing the deflection of different colored glass strips
… bending test was performed at 582°C (1080°F) for strips of transparent red, clear, black, transparent blue, and white glass. The deflection of the center point of each strip of glass was measured as the temperature was held constant. A proportional relationship of deflection with time was found …

Nitrogen transport and dynamics in grass filter strips
… to investigate the impact of vegetative filter strips (VFSs) on surface runoff water quality and to determine if this impact decreases with time. The field research provided information for the development and testing of a model to describe the dynamics and fate of nitrogen (N) in VFSs. The …

Simulation of phosphorus transport in vegetative filter strips
… the effectiveness of vegetative filter strips (VFS) in removing phosphorus from surface runoff. Dissolved and particulate nutrients were treated separately due to differing transport and removal mechanisms. Nutrient transport in VFS appears to be a function of runoff rate, concentration …

Modeling and monitoring pathogen transport through vegetated filter strips
… and quantify the effects of vegetated filter strips (VFS) on surface and subsurface transport of fecal oviform (FC) surrogates for bacterial pathogens released from a surface - applied bovine/swine manure. The study included a field-based lysimeter equipped with multi-sensor moisture probes to …

Marriage and the family as portrayed in contemporary comic strips
… pervasiveness and effect on society. The comic strips, as part of the newspaper, are widely read. By their very existence and pervasiveness they mold our culture. The purpose of this study was to examine marriage and the family and how it is portrayed in the comic strips. A historical overview …

Comic strips and the making of meaning: emotion, intersubjectivity and narrative drawing.
This study argues that the experience of reading comics is comprehensible as a series of intersubjective relationships represented in physical form. Considering concepts of self-conciousness, perception, embodiment and social experience, it develops a narrative model that brings the physical forms …

Can annual floral strips create effective pollinator habitat in Southern Ontario agricultural landscapes?
Flower visitors represent a key aspect of biodiversity, providing vital ecosystem services to native flowering plants and commodity crops. Studies indicate a decline in the abundance and diversity of flower visitors worldwide. Recently, Ontario developed a Pollinator Health Action Plan with the …

Marginal strips : how best to allow public access to lakes, rivers and the sea?
… is fuelling current public debate about marginal strips. It is suggested that proposed marginal strip provisions are a compromise between access and conservation objectives, and a desire by the Government to reduce survey and management costs while allowing productive use of the land to continue. …

Case studies on Route 1 : how the perceived identity of local commercial strips affects zoning
… and new urbanists have often argued that highway strips, replete with big box retail and countless strip malls, are essentially placeless. It has also been argued that generic local zoning is largely to blame for existence and persistence of strips. While there may be some truth to these claims, …

Design, development, and fabrication of a vibration detecting robotic foot-pad using embedded PVDF strips
… of a slip-sensing foot-pad made from PVDF strips embedded in a rubber molded structure. What follows suggests a proof-of-concept for a design that can be used to detect vibrations on the edges of a teethed structure. The ability to detect localized vibrations in the embedded PVDF sensors in …

Comics and the Carnivalesque: The Daily Mirror, Jane, and the birth of adult British newspaper strips.
… which to understand how adult daily newspaper strips evolved, positioning their story both alongside the concurrent development of other forms of British comic and as a constituent aspect of wider developments that played out across the popular publishing landscape as a whole. The research uses …

Convergence Properties of the Eigenfunction Expansion of the Biharmonic Equation on Rectangular and Semi-Infinite Strips
We consider the problem (DELTA)('2)(w(x,y)) = 0, w((+OR-)1,y) = w(,x)((+OR-)1,y) = 0 with boundary conditions w(,xx)(x,0) = f(x) w(,yy)(x,0) = g(x) on the semi-infinite strip -1 (LESSTHEQ) x (LESSTHEQ) 1, 0 < y.
