Resistance through Transformation? The Meanings of Gender Reversals in a Taiwanese Buddhist Monastery [PDF]

, 2011
This chapter demonstrates that Taiwanese Buddhist nuns resist the limitations of traditional Han gender ideologies by drawing on opportunities offered within those traditional gender constructions—opportunities that allow them to define themselves in ...

Human Capital Robotic Integration and Value Creation for Organizations

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, the research conversation has drifted from viewing robots as replacements for humans (i.e., the substitute view) to a view that considers the possible benefits of human–robot collaboration in the workplace (i.e., the complementary view).

Muscle performance but not biomechanics associate with second knee injury in a matched cohort of athletes who passed functional return‐to‐sport criteria after ACL reconstruction

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Athletes remain at risk for a second knee injury after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), even after passing return‐to‐sport (RTS) testing. While biomechanical asymmetries have been linked to reinjury, it is unclear whether deficits persist in athletes who meet RTS criteria.

Second-order amplitudes in loop quantum gravity

, 2009
We explore some second-order amplitudes in loop quantum gravity. In particular, we compute some second-order contributions to diagonal components of the graviton propagator in the large distance limit, using the old version of the Barrett-Crane vertex ...

Single Smooth Waveform Command‐Shaping Control of Overhead Crane Systems Utilizing Two‐Stage Acceleration–Deceleration Profile for Short‐Moving Point‐to‐Point Maneuver

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern industrial demand for efficient material handling in confined spaces has driven the need for overhead cranes capable of short‐distance point‐to‐point maneuvers without compromising payload stability. Conventional three‐stage shaper profiles, experiencing acceleration, cruising, and deceleration, become inefficient or infeasible for ...

Comparison of Bridge Dynamic Amplifications Due to Articulated 5-Axle Trucks and Large Cranes

The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2011
Extremely heavy vehicles are becoming more common on European highways due to the increasing demand for transport of heavy goods. These vehicles require permits from the road authorities to travel over a specified route.

Multiple scales of fear: foraging behaviour of white‐naped jays in semiarid landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals must constantly balance the need to find resources with the risk of predation. Not only avoiding direct encounters with predators but also assessing the overall risk of their environment using cues, social information or habitat traits at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.
