A key benefit of private labels for retailers is their potential to increase customers’ store loyalty. However, previous research has not examined how this relationship varies across customers and situations. This study contributes to knowledge in this area by developing a conceptual framework that guides the investigation of the role of four moderating factors in strengthening the private labe...

We present Pocket Transfers: interaction techniques that allow users to transfer content from situated displays to a personal mobile device while keeping the device in a pocket or bag. Existing content transfer solutions require direct manipulation of the mobile device, making interaction slower and less flexible. Our introduced techniques employ touch, midair gestures, gaze, and a multimodal c...

Our MAMBO 1.2 mm blank field imaging survey of ∼ 0.75 sqd has uncovered four unusually bright sources, with flux densities between 10 and 90 mJy, all located in the Abell 2125 field. The three brightest are flat spectrum radio sources with bright optical and X-ray counterparts. Their mm and radio flux densities are variable on timescales of months. Their X-ray luminosities classify them as quas...

Malvar grape juice offers relatively little in the way of a sensory experience. Our interest lies in the use of locally-selected yeast strains in experimental fermentations to improve the sensory characteristics of Malvar wines. Two locally-selected strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used as starter cultures in vinifications and compared with spontaneous fermentations of the same cultivar...

Lasers continue to gain ground in materials processing applications for microelectronics manufacturing. Printed circuit boards, IC wafers, substrates for blue/green LEDs, and various components in flat panel displays are all being processed with lasers. Some of these operations, such as microvia drilling in high-density circuit boards, are well established; others are under evaluation or in ear...

This paper presents a range of new autostereoscopic 3D display systems based on Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology in which observer tracking has been used to allow comfortable viewing freedom. For high image quality the Twin-LCD display has been used while other work has been in progress with flat panel displays using a new arrangement of LCD pixels. For each system the observer tracking ...

Adam J. Hoffman: A Longitudinal Examination of Race Centrality in African American Youth and Parents (Under the direction of Beth Kurtz-Costes) For most African Americans, racial identity is an important aspect of their individual identity. Racial centrality, a dimension of racial identity, is protective of psychosocial well-being among African Americans. The current study explored the stabilit...

Medical image data has traditionally been analyzed using visual displays and statistical analysis methods. Visual representations are limited due to the nature of the display and the number of dimensions that can be represented visually. This paper describes the use of sonification to represent medical image data of brain scans of patients with AlzheimerÕs dementia. The use of sonification is d...

A new solid phase liquid crystal microlens array has been applied to Polarisation Activated Microlens flat panel displays that can be electrically reconfigured between a full performance 2D mode and a low cross talk autostereoscopic 3D mode. The solid phase microlens array enables significant reductions in device thickness and improved ruggedness compared to nematic phase liquid crystalline mic...
