Influence of low amounts (1.0-2.0wt-%) of nanostructured silica and calcium carbonate fillers on the large area dielectric breakdown performance of bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) is analyzed. A multi-breakdown measurement method based on the self-healing break...

<p>The Peel Plateau in northwestern Canada hosts some of the fastest growing “mega slumps”, retrogressive thaw slumps exceeding 2000 m<sup>2</sup> in area. The region is located at the former margin ...

We establish an exactly tight relation between reversible pebblings of graphs and Nullstellensatz refutations of pebbling formulas, showing that a graph $G$ can be reversibly pebbled in time $t$ and space $s$ if and only if there is a Nullstellensatz refutation of the p...

We report on the use of our DecidArch game to teach software architecture design decision making in two consecutive years. We compare the support of three learning goals for the first version of the game with the second, revised version. Results show how the game has cl...

We present GridDrones, a self-levitating programmable matter platform that can be used for representing 2.5D 15 voxel grid relief maps with capabilities of rendering overhangs and 3D spatial transformations. GridDrones consists of 15 cube-shaped nanocopters that can be ...

We describe evaluations of our newly developed HYPR-OSEM algorithm using experimental phantom and clinical patient data. HYPR-OSEM is an iterative reconstruction method which incorporates HighlY constrained back-PRojection (HYPR) de-noising directly within the widely us...

Modern mobile devices allow a rich set of multi-finger interactions that combine modes into a single fluid act, for example, one finger for panning blending into a two-finger pinch gesture for zooming. Such gestures require the use of both hands: one holding the device ...

We continue the study of priority or “greedy-like” algorithms as initiated in [6] and as extended to graph theoretic problems in [9]. Graph theoretic problems pose some modelling problems that did not exist in the original applications of [6] and [2]. Following [9], we ...
