Wear and Friction Behaviour of Additive Manufactured PEEK under Non-conformal Contact
(2024-02-09)Tribological properties of laser sintered polyether-ether-ketone (EOS PEEK HP3) were investigated using a rolling-sliding test rig. This investigation aimed to study the wear and friction failure mechanism of EOS PEEK HP3. ... -
The wear of PEEK in rolling–sliding contact : Simulation of polymer gear applications
(2014-01-15)The wear and friction in the pitch region of the centre of polymer gear teeth are not well understood. The transition around this point of the tooth between rolling and sliding has an important effect on the durability of ... -
Wearing Mummy's clothes: an introduction to academical archaeology
(2004)This note is based upon the observation that the academic dress (AD) adopted by (former) British colonies and dominions potentially provides an archaeological record of UK AD. -
Weathering a violent storm together – Witnessing and co-constructing meaning in collaborative engagement with those experiencing psychosis-related challenges
(2018-02-01)The experience of psychosis can sweep into a life like a violent storm. In this paper, I first attempt to fully imagine the experience of such a storm by drawing on first person accounts and then consider the clinical ... -
The WEAVE-LOFAR Survey
(Societe Francaise d'Astronomie et d'Astrophysique, 2016-10-14)In these proceedings we highlight the primary scientific goals and design of the WEAVE-LOFAR survey, which will use the new WEAVE spectrograph on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope to provide the primary source of ... -
Web 2.0 vs. the Semantic Web: A Philosophical Assessment
(2009)The paper develops some of the conclusions, reached in Floridi (2007), concerning the future developments of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and their impact on our lives. The two main theses supported ... -
Web-Based Dietary Intake Estimation to Assess the Reproducibility and Relative Validity of the EatWellQ8 Food Frequency Questionnaire : Validation Study
(2021-03-02)BACKGROUND: The web-based EatWellQ8 food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was developed as a dietary assessment tool for healthy adults in Kuwait. Validation against reliable instruments and assessment of its reproducibility ... -
A Web-Based Graphical Food Frequency Assessment System : Design, Development and Usability Metrics
(2017-05-08)BACKGROUND: Food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) are well established in the nutrition field, but there remain important questions around how to develop online tools in a way that can facilitate wider uptake. Also, FFQ ... -
A Web-Based Intervention to Support the Mental Well-Being of Sexual and Gender Minority Young People: Mixed Methods Co-Design of Oneself
(2024-05-21)Background: Sexual and gender minority youth are at greater risk of compromised mental health than their heterosexual and cisgender peers. This is considered to be due to an increased burden of stigma, discrimination, or ... -
Weber and Coyote : polytheism as a practical attitude
(2018-03-09)Hyde claims that the trickster spirit is necessary for the renewal of culture, and that he only lives in the ‘complex terrain of polytheism’. Fortunately for those of us in monotheistic cultures, Weber gives reasons for ... -
Weegee
(Phaidon Press, 2004-12)Named after the "Ouija board" for his uncanny ability to arrive at the scene of a crime before the police, Weegee recorded the dark side of New York's streets. No sordid crime seemed to escape his flash and no crime was ... -
Weekday sunlight exposure, but not vitamin D intake, influences the association between vitamin D receptor genotype and circulating concentration 25-hydroxyvitamin D in a pan-European population : the Food4Me study
(2017-02-01)SCOPE: Little is known about diet- and environment-gene interactions on 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D concentration. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate i) predictors of 25(OH)D concentration and relationships ... -
Weighing obscured and unobscured quasar hosts with the cosmic microwave background
(2015-02)We cross-correlate a cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing map with the projected space densities of quasars to measure the bias and halo masses of a quasar sample split into obscured and unobscured populations, the ... -
Weighing the Black Holes in z~2 Submillimeter-Emitting Galaxies Hosting Active Galactic Nuclei
(2008-05)We place direct observational constraints on the black-hole masses of the cosmologically important z~2 submillimeter-emitting galaxy (SMG; f850>4mJy) population, and use measured host-galaxy masses to explore their ... -
Weighted competing risks quantile regression models and variable selection
(2023-03-08)The proportional subdistribution hazards (PSH) model is popularly used to deal with competing risks data. Censored quantile regression provides an important supplement as well as variable selection methods due to large ... -
Weighted cue integration in the rodent head direction system
(2014-02-05)How the brain combines information from different sensory modalities and of differing reliability is an important and still-unanswered question. Using the head direction (HD) system as a model, we explored the resolution ... -
Weighted Marking, Clique Structure and Node- Weighted Centrality to Predict Distribution Centre’s Location in a Supply Chain Management
(2014)Despite the importance attached to the weights or strengths on the edges of a graph, a graph is only complete if it has both the combinations of nodes and edges. As such, this paper brings to bare the fact that the node-weight ... -
Weighted Sum Synchronization of Memristive Coupled Neural Networks
(2020-08-25)It is well known that weighted sum of node states plays an essential role in function implementation of neural networks. Therefore, this paper proposes a new weighted sum synchronization model for memristive neural networks. ... -
Weighting Features for Partition around Medoids Using the Minkowski Metric
(Springer Nature, 2012)In this paper we introduce the Minkowski weighted partition around medoids algorithm (MW-PAM). This extends the popular partition around medoids algorithm (PAM) by automatically assigning K weights to each feature in a ...
