Dependency upon infrastructure and skilled workers spurs the need for innovation in blood analysis devices to improve accessibility and efficiency. A proposed method of non-invasively determining…

Migratory animals cross the spatial boundaries of ecosystems and subsidize food web productivity through the input of externally derived resources. However, human activities have altered such spatial…

Human infants begin to point to objects around their first birthday, typically before they learn their first words. Pointing in infancy is associated with later social and communicative development…

Circadian food anticipatory activity (FAA) has been modeled as the output of a dual food-entrainable oscillator (FEO) system, based on reports that rats can anticipate two but not three daily meals,…

Reality television is playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives; however, there have been insufficient research on the topic, especially in the reality-variety format. In Western…

Applying game mechanics outside of digital game contexts to improve learning outcomes is known as educational gamification. Games can be highly motivating and engaging to players but not all games…

Fractional factorial designs are useful for collecting data in many fields of studies because they allow us to study the effects of many factors on the response. As the primary interest of most…

HCI and design researchers are increasingly seeing limitations to human-centeredness in design. As a result, researchers are turning to new explorations that emphasize the need to see design and…

Conventional radial AC distribution systems cannot effectively accommodate the rapidly increasing renewable energy sources (RESs) and new loads such as fast charging stations of electric vehicles. To…

The literature on regionalism in Africa often discounts the OAU's replacement by the AU as a 'cosmetic name change' or describes the AU as 'old wine in a new bottle'. My…
