Pattern-induced anchoring transitions in nematic liquid crystals [PDF]

, 2016
In this paper we revisit the problem of a nematic liquid crystal in contact with patterned substrates. The substrate is modelled as a periodic array of parallel infinite grooves of well-defined cross section sculpted on a chemically homogeneous substrate

anchors: Software for Anchoring Vignette Data [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Software, 2011
When respondents use the ordinal response categories of standard survey questions in different ways, the validity of analyses based on the resulting data can be biased. Anchoring vignettes is a survey design technique intended to correct for some of these problems.

Formation of disclination lines near a free nematic interface [PDF]

, 1998
We have studied the nucleation and the physical properties of a -1/2 wedge disclination line near the free surface of a confined nematic liquid crystal. The position of the disclination line has been related to the material parameters (elastic constants,

Static splay-stripes in a hybrid aligned nematic layer [PDF]

, 1991
A usual aperiodic hybrid alignment can appear in a nematic layer with weak anchoring only if the cell thickness is greater than a critical value dh, below which a static periodic pattern instead of the hybrid aperiodic structure could be preferred, if ...

Study on Effective Maritime Training through the Anchoring Training [PDF]

TransNav, 2019
Anchoring exercises on a training ship have a significant effect on the acquisition of ship handling skills. Furthermore, such training is also effective for the development of critical thinking and problem solving. The authors investigated this topic to

Winning a battle but losing the war: On the drawbacks of using the anchoring tactic in distributive negotiations

Judgment and Decision Making, 2014
In two experiments, we explored the possible drawbacks of applying the anchoring tactic in a negotiation context. In Study 1, buyers who used the anchoring tactic made higher profits, but their counterparts thought their own results were worse than ...

A Flagellar A-Kinase Anchoring Protein with Two Amphipathic Helices Forms a Structural Scaffold in the Radial Spoke Complex [PDF]

, 2012
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) contain an amphipathic helix (AH) that binds the dimerization and docking (D/D) domain, RIIa, in cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA). Many AKAPs were discovered solely based on the AH–RIIa interaction in vitro.

The detachment of responsibility: how and when AI-powered digital avatars undermine behavioral intentions in cancer screening persuasion

Frontiers in Communication
As artificial intelligence technologies advance, humanlike digital avatars are increasingly used in health communication. Yet, whether—and how—avatars embodying real humans influence the persuasive impact of health messages remains largely unexplored ...

Semantic cross-scale numerical anchoring

Judgment and Decision Making, 2016
Anchoring effects are robust, varied and can be consequential. Researchers have provided a variety of alternative explanations for these effects. More recently, it has become apparent that anchoring effects might be produced by a variety of different ...
