Affective touch videos
No full textA set of videos showing, from an egocentric perspective, affective touch (stroking touch) being applied to the dorsal side of a caucasian males' right forearm. Touches are applied by a caucasian female human, a Nao robot, a mannikin arm, and a plastic tube. Touches are applied at different velocities: 0.3cm/s, 1cm/s, 2cm/s, 3cm/s, 10cm/s, and 30cm/s. The 2cm/s video was originally intended as an example video. Video resolution is 1280 x 720 pixels. Video names include relevant stimuli description (e.g., H03 is human touch at 0.3cm/s).
Videos were originally created for studying perceptions of affective touch in an online study. Please use the following reference when using these videos in your research:

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
Bulk statistics of stable and decaying Taylor-Couette turbulence
No full textIn this talk we focus on the velocity fluctuations in highly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow for the case of stable flow (constant rotation) and for decaying flow. Turbulent flows are generally characterized by the range of scales of their fluctuations, and a statistical description of the flow is often done by calculating the correlations of velocity fluctuations. These correlations are found to behave like power-laws over a range of scales, and their exponents characterize a certain geometry of flow. Many systems have been investigated carefully: Pipe-flow, Von Kármán flow, Rayleigh Bénard convection, \textit{et cetera}. There are, however, few reports \cite{lew99,she01} quantifying the turbulent properties in Taylor-Couette flow. In the presented work \cite{huisman2013b} we measure the longitudinal structure functions using laser Doppler anemometry, which is a non-intrusive technique and is able to measure the components of the velocity, and thus ideal for obtaining structure functions and the local velocity. We present the statistics of the turbulent velocity fluctuations for counter rotation for varying

The effect of vehicle source intensity on street-crossing decisions: Additional analyses (superseded)
No full textThis manuscript originally included analyses provided as supplementary material for a main paper on the effects of vehicle source intensity (vehicle sound power) on pedestrians’ street-crossing decisions. An updated version of all analyses originally presented in this manuscript has now been integrated into an extended version of the main paper (Oberfeld, Huisman, & DeLucia, 2026), available as a preprint on OSF.io (https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/nykfm_v2 ). Please refer to that full paper.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
