Effect of mechanical preconditioning on the electrical properties of knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading (2018)
Journal Article

This paper presents, for the first time, the electrical response of knitted conductive fabrics to a considerable number of cycles of deformation in view of their use as wearable sensors. The changes in the electrical properties of four knitted conduc...

Comparative genomic analysis of the ‘pseudofungus’ Hyphochytrium catenoides (2018)
Journal Article

Statistical properties of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of structured random matrices (2018)
Journal Article

We study the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of N X N structured random matrices of the form H = W ~HW+D with diagonal matrices D and W and ~H from the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble. Using the supersymmetry technique we derive general asymptotic express... Read More about Statistical properties of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of structured random matrices.

Impact of oil composition on microwave heating behavior of heavy oils (2018)
Journal Article

Electromagnetic heating techniques have recently received significant attention as alternatives to conventional heating methods for thermal processing of viscous and heavy oils. One of the benefits of electromagnetic heating is that the electromagnet... Read More about Impact of oil composition on microwave heating behavior of heavy oils.

Systemic risk and the optimal seniority structure of banking liabilities (2018)
Journal Article

The paper argues that systemic risk must be taken into account when designing optimal bankruptcy procedures in general, and priority rules in particular. Allowing for endogenous formation of links in the interbank market we show that the optimal poli... Read More about Systemic risk and the optimal seniority structure of banking liabilities.

New insights into emotion valence and loyalty intentions in relational exchanges (2018)
Journal Article

This research examines how emotion valence and future intentions arising from relational exchanges with a service firm depend on a consumer's level of goal attainment and locus of causality (firm vs. self) of relational outcomes. Drawing on the theor... Read More about New insights into emotion valence and loyalty intentions in relational exchanges.

Risk factors for eating disorder psychopathology within the treatment seeking transgender population: the role of cross-sex hormone treatment (2018)
Journal Article

Many transgender people experience high levels of body dissatisfaction, which is one of numerous factors known to increase vulnerability to eating disorder symptoms in the cisgender (non-trans) population. Cross-sex hormones can alleviate body dissat...

Fluorescently Labeled Morphine Derivatives for Bioimaging Studies (2018)
Journal Article

Opioids, like morphine, are the mainstay analgesics for the treatment and control of pain. Despite this, they often exhibit severe side effects that limit dose; patients often become tolerant and dependent on these drugs, which remains a major health...

How should a spatial-coverage sample design for a geostatistical soil survey be supplemented to support estimation of spatial covariance parameters? (2018)
Journal Article

We use an expression for the error variance of geostatistical predictions, which includes the effect of uncertainty in the spatial covariance parameters, to examine the performance of sample designs in which a proportion of the total number of observ...

Effects of surface roughness on local friction and temperature distributions in a steel-on-steel fretting contact (2018)
Journal Article

It has generally been assumed that initial surface roughness has significant influences on local frictional shear stresses and flash temperatures in fretting contacts. However, since these hypotheses are difficult to directly measure, the frictional...
