Just how expert are “expert” video-game players? Assessing the experience and expertise of video-game players across “action” video-game genres [PDF]
, 2013 Video-game play (particularly “action” video-games) holds exciting promise as an activity that may provide generalized enhancement to a wide range of perceptual and cognitive abilities (for review see Latham et al., 2013a).

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Electrothermal Heating and Additive Manufacturing of Thermoset Parts
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.3D printing of thermosets is difficult due to the low yield stress of most uncured resins. However, by locally heating resin using a non‐equilibrium plasma, layers can be partially cured and printing enabled. Plasma application to a liquid epoxy/carbon nanotube composite is observed to cause rapid surface heating and oxidation of the cured layers ...

The motivational pull of video game feedback, rules, and social interaction: Another self-determination theory approach [PDF]
, 2017 This paper argues that most video game enjoyment can be understood in terms of the type of feedback used, the rules set out by the game and the social elements of the game - concepts that have been identified as critical to video games.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A flexible, lightweight ankle brace made from 3D‐printed liquid crystal polymer metamaterials offers targeted support without restricting movement. Programmable stiffness provides protection during risky motions. Biomechanical tests suggest performance comparable to commercial braces with reduced bulk, highlighting potential for broader orthotic ...

Insolvency Insurance for Private Plans [PDF]
, 1979 This essay is about the use of narrative in video games, and the discussion surrounding it. For years ludologists (game researchers) and narratologists (narrativity researchers) have been arguing about how to analyze narrativity in games.

Size Effect on Photothermal Heating Ability of Gold Bipyramids
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Gold bipyramids with identical spectral characteristics exhibits opposite volume‐dependent photo‐thermal heating at single‐particle versus collective scales. The thermal energy can be used to generate mechanical work by powering Stirling engine. Abstract Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit photothermal properties that are fundamental to biomedical and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies DEC2 as a critical transcriptional repressor of Scn2a that directly binds E‐box motifs in its promoter to regulate neuronal plasticity and epileptogenesis. Functional manipulation of DEC2 alters seizure susceptibility in vivo. Cannabidiol enhances this repression, unveiling a novel DEC2‐SCN2A axis underlying its anticonvulsant ...
