Combined steering and direct tilt control for the enhancement of narrow tilting vehicle stability
Narrow tilting vehicles offer an opportunity to reduce both traffic congestion and carbon emissions by having a small road footprint, a low weight and a small frontal area. Their narrow track requires that they tilt into corners...

Which way is down? Positional distortion in the tilt illusion.
Contextual information can have a huge impact on our sensory experience. The tilt illusion is a classic example of contextual influence exerted by an oriented surround on a target's perceived orientation. Traditionally, the tilt...

Surviving the Alamo, Violence Vengeance, and Women’s Solidarity in Emma Pérez’s Forgetting the Alamo, Or, Blood Memory
Adrianna M. Santos
Mar 01, 2019
This article analyzes Chicana feminist texts to frame a discussion of survival as a theoretical concept. Using Emma Pérez’s historical novel Forgetting the Alamo, Or, Blood Memory as a window into the decolonial imaginary, I...
Dynamic response of large tilt-angle flexoelectro-optic liquid crystal modulators.
We present here the first time-resolved tilt-angle and retardance measurements for large-tilt (>45°) flexoelectro-optic liquid crystal modulators. These devices have potential for next generation fast switching (>1 kHz), 0-2π...

Development of a tilt control method for a narrow-track three-wheeled vehicle
The space and weight savings provided by narrow tilting vehicles could make them a solution to the pollution and congestion problems seen in urban environments. The success of this new type of vehicle relies heavily on the...

Border ownership-dependent tilt aftereffect for shape defined by binocular disparity and motion parallax.
Discerning objects from their surrounds (i.e., figure-ground segmentation) in a way that guides adaptive behaviors is a fundamental task of the brain. Neurophysiological work has revealed a class of cells in the macaque visual...

An Innovative Methodological Approach to Analysing Social Media Movements
Emma Connolly
Jan 01, 2024
Social media movements take place in an increasingly volatile technological landscape. Researchers who want to analyse their spread must navigate methodological challenges relating to data accessibility, combining qualitative...
Effect of piston-slipper assembly mass difference on the cylinder block tilt in a high-speed electro-hydrostatic actuator pump of aircraft
When manufacturing axial piston pumps, mass difference of piston-slipper assembly is inevitable because of manufacturing precision limits. Small mass difference may not cause problems when the pump operates at low speeds, while...

Non-Interest Income and Financial Performance of Selected Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria
This study examined the effect of e-banking income, fee income, and firm size on market value added of Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria. The eight banks categorised by Central Bank of Nigeria in 2014 to be Domestic Systematically...
Income Diversification and Financial Performance of Selected Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria
This study examined the effect of income diversification on financial performance of deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Variables considered were commission, foreign exchange incomes, and firm age, which are proxies for...
Attainment, attendance, and school difficulties in UK primary schoolchildren with probable ADHD
Background. Among children aged 6–16, there is a clear association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and academic attainment. We wanted to know whether this association was replicated in younger...

Order reconstruction phenomena and temperature-driven dynamics in a 3D zenithally bistable device
A. Raisch, A. Majumdar
Jul 01, 2014
We model the zenithally bistable device (ZBD) in three dimensions (3D), within the Landau-de Gennes theory, and find three stable static states in 3D without an applied field: the vertically aligned nematic (VAN) state, the...

A Participatory Design and Formal Study Investigation into Mobile Text Entry for Older Adults
Text entry remains key to many tasks on touchscreen smartphones and is an important factor in the usability of such devices. The known problems of text entry can be particularly acute for older adults due to physical and...
Learning How to Become a Teacher Researcher
Developing the teacher as a reflective practitioner has become a core facet of Irish teacher education, but large gap exists between theory and practice. Research illustrates the positive value of rubrics in terms of student...
