(In Press) Moving, making and atmosphere: routines of home as sites for...
In this article, we examine how everyday atmospheres of home are made, maintained and improvised through habitual routines of movement, and the implications of this for co-design for energy demand...
View ArticleThe effect of fermentation and addition of vegetable oil on resistant starch...
Resistant starch has potential health benefits but the factors affecting its formation in bread and baked products are not well studied. Here, the formation of resistant starch in wholemeal bread...
View ArticleFoaming behaviour and cell structure of poly(lactic acid) after various...
Improving the melt strength of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is of continuing strategic research interest since a low melt strength results in poor processability of foaming and blowing film. PLA was...
View ArticleRecommender systems based on collaborative filtering and resource allocation
Recommendation systems are important part of electronic commerce, where appropriate items are recommended to potential users. The most common algorithms used for constructing recommender systems in...
View ArticlePoly(dicyclopentadiene)-montmorillonite nanocomposite formation via...
Exfoliated poly(dicyclopentadiene) (pDCPD)a - montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were synthesized via intergallery-surface-initiated ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). This is the first...
View ArticleDifferent ß nucleants and the resultant microstructural, fracture, and...
This article explores the use of two β nucleants to improve the fracture behavior of filled and unfilled homo-polypropylene (PP). The first was based upon an organic quinacridone, whereas the second...
View ArticleAn overview of degradable and biodegradable polyolefins
The use of engineering plastics, especially polyolefins has increased significantly in recent decades largely due to their low cost, good mechanical properties and light weight. However, this increase...
View Article(In Press) Vitamins D and A can be successfully measured by LC-MS/MS in cord...
Objectives: In widely used protocols for the collection and isolation of cord blood mononuclear cells, investigators are left with substantial volumes of diluted plasma which could be used for other...
View ArticleEnhancement of pro-degradant performance in polyethylene/starch blends as a...
The effect of pro-degradant distribution in polyethylene (PE)/starch blends on ultraviolet (UV) photo-oxidative degradation was investigated. Two kinds of pro-degradants, Fe and Co-based, were used in...
View ArticleCommunity structure and information cascade in signed networks
In this paper, we study information cascade in networks with positive and negative edges. The cascade depth is correlated with community structure of signed networks where communities are defined such...
View ArticleMesoscopic analysis of online social networks: the role of negative ties
A class of networks are those with both positive and negative links. In this manuscript, we studied the interplay between positive and negative ties on mesoscopic level of these networks, i.e., their...
View Article(In Press) A time-aware recommender system based on dependency network of items
Recommender systems have been accompanied by many applications in both academia and industry. Among different algorithms used to construct a recommender system, collaborative filtering methods have...
View ArticleHigh electrical conductivity and elastic modulus composites comprising glass...
Electrically conductive composites with very low percolation threshold values and high elastic modulus have been developed using single-screw extruder from short E-glass fiber (GF) reinforced carbon...
View ArticleHigh postnatal growth hormone levels are related to cognitive deficits in a...
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: Little is known regarding the influence of GH on brain development, especially in infants born very preterm (VP; <30 weeks' gestation). Preterm infants are thought to have...
View ArticleComparison of electrical and mechanical water pump performance in internal...
This paper illustrates the differences between mechanical and electrical water pumps of internal combustion engines. Literatures have been studied in regard to engine cooling with the water pumps. Main...
View ArticleEffect of fermentation and oil incorporation on the retention of E vitamers...
All forms of baking and processing cause a loss of nutrients, including vitamin E, but little is known about these occurrences or if they could be avoided. The objective of this research was to study...
View ArticleMothers' experiences of child support: Qualitative research and opportunities...
Child support is one of the defining and under-studied elements of single mothering in contemporary Australia. However, the Australian Child Support Scheme is marked by high levels of debt and...
