Seeing Others as Objects: Perceptual Objectification & Affordances
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract In discussions of objectification, the use of visual language is ubiquitous. It is striking that the literature often talks about treating and seeing someone as an object in the same breath. Yet accounts of objectification focus on objectifying treatment and leave the notion of objectifying perception unexplained.

Near millimeter wave imaging/multi-beam integrated antennas [PDF]
This report describes the most recent work on the theory of single element Linearly Tapered Slot Antennas (LTSAs) and Constant Width Slot Antennas (CWSAs). The radiation mechanism for these is presently well understood and allows quantitative calculation

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Local ecological knowledge can be useful to assess data‐limited fisheries such as the Ontario Black Bass (Micropterus spp.) recreational fishery. We surveyed local anglers using the Life History Calendar approach to determine if there were perceived changes in fishing quality for Black Bass in eastern Ontario across different time periods. For

Focal plane arrays for submillimeter waves using two-dimensional electron gas elements: A grant under the Innovative Research Program [PDF]
This final report describes a three-year research effort, aimed at developing new types of THz low noise receivers, based on bulk effect ('hot electron') nonlinearities in the Two-Dimensional Electron Gas (2DEG) Medium, and the inclusion of such ...

Quality Regulation and Unexpected Gaming: Evidence From Mandating Flight Delay Compensation
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Policies that target a single aspect of agents' motivation may lead to their diminished efforts in other areas. This paper examines the effect of the European Union's flight delay compensation policy on flight on‐time performance by exploiting a unique policy variation in a difference‐in‐differences framework.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

Things at Work: How Things Contribute to Performing Work
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract A crucial question for organizations is what constitutes work performance. While the importance of human competence and motivation to work performance has been established, less well understood is how ‘things’ – such as algorithms, tools, instruments, and raw materials – contribute to work performance.

Simple Compact UWB Vivaldi Antenna Arrays for Breast Cancer Detection
TelecomIn this study, at ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency band (3.1–10.6 GHz), we propose the use of compact 2:1 and 3:1 nonuniform transmission line Wilkinson power dividers (NTL WPDs) as feeding networks for simple 2 × 1 linear UWB Vivaldi tapered and ...

Impact of emerging compound droughts on forests: A water supply and demand perspective
Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review examines the physiological and ecological responses of trees to emerging compound droughts from a water demand and supply perspective, as well as the role of acclimation and consequences for ecosystem‐level functions. Abstract The intensification of climate change‐induced drought results in unprecedented tree and forest die‐offs worldwide ...
