Designer-User Validation of a Method for Predicting Cognitive Interventions for Sustainable Product Design
… of factors that encourage the use of reusable water bottles to better understand how users may evaluate the products depicted in the sketch prototypes. Validating the links between determinants and cognitive interventions can assist designers in determining a hierarchy in the determinants they …

Design for an invertible water bottle to facilitate cleaning and promote sustainable water bottle usage
… thesis is to explore the design of a reusable water bottle that can be inverted to expose the inside. Being able to directly touch the entire inside of the product could facilitate cleaning and consequently promote sustainable water bottle usage. Existing cleaning solutions and various water …

Genetic variability and differentiation in niche components of marine phytoplankton species
… is found even among clones isolated from single water bottles. The amount of genetic variability in asexual reproduction rates in individual phytoplankton populations ranged from 3 t o 13% (coefficients of variation). There is no obvious relationship between the amounts of genetic variability in …

Investigating the Effects of Vinclozolin on Reproduction in Three Generations of Sigmodon Hispidus
… eneration) were given the same food, but their water bottles were "spiked" with vinclozolin, an antiandrogenic fungicide. There were four treatment groups: a high-, medium-, and low-dose group, and a control group that drank distilled water. Each generation bred with non-littermates within the …

Behavioural responses of cocoa mirids, Sahlbergella singularis Hagl and Distantiella theobroma Dist. (Heteroptera: Miridae), to sex pheromones.
… four models; 2.5 litre and 4.5 litre plastic water bottles, sticky plastic plates, cylinder and standard rectangular traps. All models were equally effective. A field experiment was conducted with sticky glue on the outside of the traps. Combined inside and outside surfaces caught more mirids …

Development of an Open Source Prosthetic Hand Platform
… doors, grasping moderately heavy objects such as water bottles, and sensitive objects such as an egg. Lastly, the platform was connected to a myoelectric input circuit to demonstrate compatibility with advanced electro-physical inputs. These tests demonstrated that the platform was capable of …

Fluxes, dynamics and chemistry of particulates in the ocean
… of current velocities. Experiments with Niskin bottles showed that concentrations of suspended particulate matter obtained with standard filtration methods were low and had to be increased by an average factor of 1.5 to correct for particles settling below the sampling spigot. The trap arrays …
