Exploring Material-Discursive Practices: Comments on Hardy and Thomas' Discourse in a Material World
(Wiley Blackwell, 2014-12)Our intent in this commentary is to support the turn to materiality in organizational research, and contribute to it by considering some differences in our approach from that proposed by Hardy and Thomas. Drawing on agential ... -
Exploring Mechanisms of Variability and Predictability of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in Two Coupled Climate Models
(American Meteorological Society, 2012-06)Multidecadal variability in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) of the ocean is diagnosed in the NCAR Community Climate System Model, version 3 (CCSM3), and the GFDL Coupled Model (CM2.1). Common diagnostic ... -
Exploring mirrors, recreating science and history, becoming a class community
(Association of Teacher Educators, 2009)A teacher narrates from activities and discussions that arose among undergraduates and herself while doing critical explorations of mirrors. Surprised by light's behaviors, the students responded with curiosity, losing ... -
Exploring model complexity in machine learned potentials for simulated properties
(Springer International Publishing, 2023-09-18)Abstract Machine learning (ML) enables the development of interatomic potentials with the accuracy of first principles methods while retaining the speed and parallel efficiency of empirical potentials. While ... -
Exploring nonlocal observables in shock wave collisions
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016-11)We study the time evolution of 2-point functions and entanglement entropy in strongly anisotropic, inhomogeneous and time-dependent N=4 super Yang-Mills theory in the large N and large ’t Hooft coupling limit using ... -
Exploring Ocean Circulation on Icy Moons Heated From Below
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2022-03) -
Exploring orbital dynamics and trapping with a generalized pilot-wave framework
(AIP Publishing, 2018-09)We explore the effects of an imposed potential with both oscillatory and quadratic components on the dynamics of walking droplets. We first conduct an experimental investigation of droplets walking on a bath with a central ... -
Exploring Planning and Operations Design Space for EV Charging Stations
(ACM|The 36th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing, 2021-03-22) -
Exploring quark transverse momentum distributions with lattice QCD
(American Physical Society, 2011-05)We discuss in detail a method to study transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) using lattice QCD. To develop the formalism and to obtain first numerical results, we directly implement a bilocal ... -
Exploring Race in Life, in Speech, and in Philosophy: Comments on Joshua Glasgow’s A Theory of Race
(2009)Josh Glasgow’s book A Theory of Race (2009) presents an important argument for the claim that race is an illusion and, that racial claims are, strictly speaking, false. They are false because the concept of race, according ... -
EXPLORING SHORT GAMMA-RAY BURSTS AS GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE STANDARD SIRENS
(Institute of Physics ; American Astronomical Society., 2010-11)Recent observations support the hypothesis that a large fraction of "short-hard" gamma-ray bursts (SHBs) are associated with the inspiral and merger of compact binaries. Since gravitational-wave (GW) measurements of ... -
Exploring Smart Agents for the Interaction with Multimodal Mediated Environments
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-06)After conversational agents have been made available to the broader public, we speculate that applying them as a mediator for adaptive environments reduces control complexity and increases user experience by providing a ... -
Exploring speech therapy games with children on the autism spectrum
(International Speech Communication Association, 2009-09)Individuals on the autism spectrum often have difficulties producing intelligible speech with either high or low speech rate, and atypical pitch and/or amplitude affect. In this study, we present a novel intervention towards ... -
Exploring Temporal Patterns in Classifying Frustrated and Delighted Smiles
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-04)We create two experimental situations to elicit two affective states: frustration, and delight. In the first experiment, participants were asked to recall situations while expressing either delight or frustration, while ... -
Exploring the Atmospheric Dynamics of the Extreme Ultrahot Jupiter KELT-9b Using TESS Photometry
(American Astronomical Society, 2020)© 2020. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.. We carry out a phase-curve analysis of the KELT-9 system using photometric observations from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The measured ... -
Exploring the Behavior of Bovine Serum Albumin in Response to Changes in the Chemical Composition of Responsive Polymers: Experimental and Simulation Studies
(MDPI AG, 2016-06)Knowledge of the interactions between polymer and protein is very important to fabricate the potential materials for many bio-related applications. In this regard, the present work investigated the effect of copolymers ... -
Exploring the causal effects of the built environment on travel behavior: a unique randomized experiment in Shanghai
(Springer US, 2022-08-29)Experimental designs have been recognized as the gold standard for establishing causal mechanisms. However, the application of such designs is complicated by factors such as excessive costs, time consumption, ethical ... -
Exploring the Constraints on Simulated Aerosol Sources and Transport Across the North Atlantic With Island‐Based Sun Photometers
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2020-11)©2020. The Authors. Atmospheric aerosol over the North Atlantic Ocean impacts regional clouds and climate. In this work, we use a set of sun photometer observations of aerosol optical depth (AOD) located on the Graciosa ... -
Exploring the Design of a Wearable Device to Turn Everyday Objects into Playful Experiences
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2015-04)In this paper we present a wearable device in the form of a bracelet that turns everyday objects into interactive physical gameplay. We combine physical exploration and interactive entertainment by providing real-time audio ... -
