The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica
Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...

ABSTRACT Outside the laboratory, people tend not to push working memory to its limits. Instead, we tend to capitalize on stable, external resources (e.g., assembly diagrams or shopping lists) in a dynamic, context‐dependent trade‐off with internal memory: we sample the environment more when remembering is “costly” (e.g., when a shopping list is ...

Haptic Feedback and the Role of Need for Touch on Augmented Reality Mobile Shopping Apps
ABSTRACT As mobile commerce has become increasingly prevalent, retailers have sought to enhance the mobile shopping experience by incorporating multisensory stimulation (i.e., visual, auditory, and now tactile stimulation). This paper investigates the presence of sensory inputs, specifically haptic feedback, when positioning and manipulating augmented ...

Comparison of added mass coefficients for a floating tanker evaluated by conformal mapping and boundary element methods [PDF]
One of the important parameters needed to model ship motions in a seaway is the added mass matrix of the hull. Current state-ofthe- art boundary element methods routinely evaluate the 6 x 6 added mass matrices as part of the radiation problem solution ...
