The classification of corank one forced symmetry breaking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Forced-symmetry breaking occurs when a bifurcation equation changes its symmetry when a parameter varies. It is to be contrasted with the phenomena of spontaneous symmetry breaking when the symmetry of the equations are kept constant but the symmetry of

Experimental and numerical studies of inclined cables: free and parametrically-forced vibrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Because of few experimental studies in the inclined cable literature, this paper is aimed at experimental modelling and investigating the linear free and nonlinear forced vibrations of sagged inclined cables, by discussing the relevant outcomes in the ...

Personality Assessment, Forced-Choice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Instead of responding to questionnaire items one at a time, respondents may be forced to make a choice between two or more items measuring the same or different traits. The forced-choice format eliminates uniform response biases, although the research on

A micro ultrasonic motor using a micro-machined cylindrical bulk PZT transducer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this paper, a micro ultrasonic motor using a micro-machined bulk piezoelectric transducer is introduced. The cylindrical shaped bulk piezoelectric transducer, a diameter of 0.8 mm and a height of 2.2 mm, was developed as stator transducer for ...

Techniques for tailoring sonar transducer responses [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
This work is concerned with the design of sonar transducers operating in the frequency range 100 kHz to 1 MHz. The transducer frequency responses are predicted using a one-dimensional transmission line analysis. Differences between predicted and measured

A theoretical model of a new electrostatic transducer incorporating fluidic amplification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This article concerns the design of a new electrostatic transducer whose backplate consists of a series of drilled pipes. A new one-dimensional model is derived which considers the interaction of the membrane with the air load, the air cavities, and the ...

Item Response Models for Forced-Choice Questionnaires: A Common Framework [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In forced-choice questionnaires, respondents have to make choices between two or more items presented at the same time. Several IRT models have been developed to link respondent choices to underlying psychological attributes, including the recent MUPP ...

Item Response Modeling of Forced-Choice Questionnaires [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Multidimensional forced-choice formats can significantly reduce the impact of numerous response biases typically associated with rating scales. However, if scored with classical methodology, these questionnaires produce ipsative data, which lead to ...

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...
