Adaptive Skill as The<i> Conditio Sine Qua Non</i> of Expertise

This critical interpretive research synthesis is on the topic of adaptation and skill. After an initial identification of 1995 abstracts we identified and collated a database of 140 publications that explicitly reference...

Inhomogeneous random graphs, isolated vertices, and Poisson approximation
Mathew D. Penrose
Mar 01, 2018

Consider a graph on randomly scattered points in an arbitrary space, with any two points x, y connected with probability φ(x, y). Suppose the number of points is large but the mean number of isolated points is O(1). We give...

Use and misuse of information in supply chain forecasting of promotion effects

Demand forecasting is critical to sales and operations planning (S&OP), but the effects of sales promotions can be difficult to forecast. Typically, a baseline statistical forecast is judgmentally adjusted on receipt of...

Semi-continuous production of iron oxide nanoparticles via membrane emulsification

The large-scale production of nanomaterials with fine control over their shape, size and properties remains a major obstacle towards their further use. Here, the semi-continuous production of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs)...

The Capacity of Bernoulli Nonadaptive Group Testing
Matthew Aldridge
Nov 01, 2017

We consider nonadaptive group testing with Bernoulli tests, where each item is placed in each test independently with some fixed probability. We give a tight threshold on the maximum number of tests required to find the...

Sensemaking, storytelling and the legitimization of elite business careers

This article examines elite business careers through the dual lens of sensemaking and storytelling as recounted in life-history interviews with business leaders. It explores how they make sense of, narrativize and legitimate...

Sensemaking, storytelling and the legitimization of elite business careers

This article examines elite business careers through the dual lens of sensemaking and storytelling as recounted in life-history interviews with business leaders. It explores how they make sense of, narrativize and legitimate...

Towards institutionalised regionalism

This paper provides concrete understanding of the role of institutions and prospects for institutionalisation in ASEAN. It highlights the significant roles of institutions in the integrating Southeast Asia and demonstrates...

Alternating minimal energy methods for linear systems in higher dimensions

We propose algorithms for the solution of high-dimensional symmetrical positive definite (SPD) linear systems with the matrix and the right-hand side given and the solution sought in a low-rank format. Similarly to density...

Ambidexterity in projects

We identify the desirability of simultaneously using knowledge assets both to exploit and explore (ambidexterity) and highlight the significance of this for the project context. We use an intellectual capital perspective and...

Energetics, thermal isomerisation and photochemistry of the linkage-isomer system [Ni(Et<sub>4</sub>dien)(η<sup>2</sup>-O,ON)(η<sup>1</sup>-NO<sub>2</sub>)]

We present the results of a detailed theoretical study of the linkage isomerisation in [Ni(Et4dien)(η2-O,ON)(η1-NO2)] (Et4dien = N,N,N′,N′-tetraethyldiethylenetriamine)....

Liminality in language use
Kyoko Murakami
Mar 01, 2010

This essay traces my engagement with Michèle Grossen's ideas of a dialogical perspective on interaction analysis (Grossen Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science, 1-22, 2009) and highlights a process account of self...

Geometry-dependent penetration fields in superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta platelets
Magneto-optical imaging has been used to study vortex penetration into regular polygon-shaped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta platelets with various geometries (disks, pentagons, squares, and triangles) but known fixed areas. In all cases...
Visual objects in the auditory system in sensory substitution

Sensory substitution devices such as The vOICe convert visual imagery into auditory soundscapes and can provide a basic 'visual' percept to those with visual impairment. However, it is not known whether technical or...

Sonochemical characterisation of ultrasonic dental descalers

An ultrasonic dental descaling instrument has been characterised using sonochemical techniques. Mapping the emission from luminol solution revealed the distribution of cavitation produced in water around the tips. Hydroxyl...

The Root solution to the multi-marginal embedding problem

We provide a complete characterisation of the Root solution to the Skorokhod embedding problem (SEP) by means of an optimal stopping formulation. Our methods are purely probabilistic and the analysis relies on a tailored...

Using Openly Accessible Resources to Strengthen Causal Inference in Epigenetic Epidemiology of Neurodevelopment and Mental Health

The recent focus on the role of epigenetic mechanisms in mental health has led to several studies examining the association of epigenetic processes with psychiatric conditions and neurodevelopmental traits. Some studies...

The Direct Synthesis of H <sub>2</sub> O <sub>2</sub> Using TS-1 Supported Catalysts

In this study we show that using AuPd nanoparticles supported on a commercial titanium silicate (TS-1) prepared using a wet co-impregnation method it is possible to produce hydrogen peroxide from molecular H 2 and...

Is digital health care more equitable?

Informed by a discourse analysis, this article examines the framing of equity within the UK's digital health policies between 2010 and 2017, focusing on England's development of NHS Digital and its situation within the UK...

Temperature and concentration effects on decyltrimethylammonium micelles in water

Wide-angle neutron scattering experiments combined with Empirical Potential Structural Refinement modelling have been used to study the detailed structure of decyltrimethylammonium bromide (C 10TAB) micelles at two...

Unsteady actuation of counter-flowing wall jets for gust load attenuation

Counter-flowing wall jets actuated on the upper surface of an airfoil are investigated for the purpose of controlling gust encounters. For periodic and transient actuations, phase-averaged lift force and particle image...

A home advantage? Examining 100 years of team success in National Hockey League playoff overtime games
Desmond McEwan
Jul 01, 2019

Objectives: To examine a potential home (dis)advantage in various types of playoff overtime games in the National Hockey League (NHL). Design: Archival. Method: Success rates for home and away teams in win-imminent overtime...

Sensor Installation and Retrieval Operations using an Unmanned Aerial Manipulator

A wide range of applications for which unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are ideally suited rely on the development of manipulators capable of exchanging forces with the environment. One such application is the installation and...
