Comprehensive characterization of shale gas seepage in nanoscale organic-rich shales
(University of Kansas, 2020-12-31)Unlike conventional gas reservoirs, the shale gas resources are widely distributed in organic-rich shale formations with most pore sizes down to nanoscale. Such nanoscale confinement has invalidated the conventional gas ... -
Inducing Neural Plasticity After Spinal Cord Injury To Recover Impaired Voluntary Movement
(University of Kansas, 2019-12-31)Spinal cord injury (SCI) is often an incapacitating neural injury most commonly caused by a traumatic blow to the spine. A SCI causes damage to the axons that carry sensory and motor signals between the brain and spinal ... -
Structural Health Monitoring Strategies Using Traditional Sensors and Computer Vision
(University of Kansas, 2020-12-31)The vibration-based condition assessment of structures is the predominant method in structural health monitoring. The condition assessment of structures can be determined through the response of structures (i.e., peak ... -
Deterministic Scheduling of Real-Time Tasks on Heterogeneous Multicore Platforms
(University of Kansas, 2020-12-31)In recent years, the problem of real-time scheduling has increasingly become more important as well as more complicated. The former is due to the proliferation of safety critical systems into our day-to-day life; such as ... -
