Constrained Type Families
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2017-09)We present an approach to support partiality in type-level computation without compromising expressiveness or type safety. Existing frameworks for type-level computation either require totality or implicitly assume it. For ... -
Contour Detection-based Discovery of Mid-level Discriminative Patches for Scene Classification
(Thieme Publishing, 2017-05-15)Feature extraction and representation is a key step in scene classification. In this paper, a contour detection-based mid-level features learning method is proposed for scene classification. First, a sketch tokens-based ... -
Metagenome and Metatranscriptome Analyses Using Protein Family Profiles
(PLoS, 2016-07-11)Analyses of metagenome data (MG) and metatranscriptome data (MT) are often challenged by a paucity of complete reference genome sequences and the uneven/low sequencing depth of the constituent organisms in the microbial ... -
GRASPx: efficient homolog-search of short peptide metagenome database through simultaneous alignment and assembly
(BioMed Central, 2016-08-31)Background Metagenomics is a cultivation-independent approach that enables the study of the genomic composition of microbes present in an environment. Metagenomic samples are routinely sequenced using next-generation ... -
Impact of light intensity on the polymerization kinetics and network structure of model hydrophobic and hydrophilic methacrylate based dental adhesive resin
(Wiley, 2016-11)The impact of light intensity on the degree of conversion (DC), rate of polymerization and network structure was investigated for hydrophobic and hydrophilic dental adhesive resins. Two and three component photoinitiating ... -
Tris(trimethylsilyl)silane as a co-initiator for dental adhesive: Photo-polymerization kinetics and dynamic mechanical property
(Elsevier, 2016)Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the polymerization behavior of a model dentin adhesive with tris(trimethylsilyl)silane (TTMSS) as a co-initiator, and to investigate the polymerization kinetics and ... -
Synthesis and evaluation of novel dental monomer with branched aromatic carboxylic acid group
(Wiley, 2012-02)A new glycerol-based dimethacrylate monomer with an aromatic carboxylic acid, 2-((1,3-bis(methacryloyloxy)propan-2-yloxy)carbonyl)benzoic acid (BMPB), was synthesized, characterized, and proposed as a possible dental ... -
Grafting MAP peptide to dental polymer inhibits MMP-8 activity
(Wiley, 2015-02)Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a class of zinc and calcium-dependent endopeptidases responsible for degrading extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Their activity is critical for both normal biological function and ... -
Visible-Light Initiated Free-Radical/Cationic Ring-Opening Hybrid Photopolymerization of Methacrylate/Epoxy: Polymerization Kinetics, Crosslinking Structure, and Dynamic Mechanical Properties
(Wiley, 2015-04)The effects of polymerization kinetics and chemical miscibility on the crosslinking structure and mechanical properties of polymers cured by visible-light initiated free-radical/cationic ring-opening hybrid photopolymerization ... -
Development of methacrylate/silorane hybrid monomer system: Relationship between photopolymerization behavior and dynamic mechanical properties
(Wiley, 2016-07)Resin chemistries for dental composite are evolving as noted by the introduction of silorane-based composites in 2007. This shift in the landscape from methacrylate-based composites has fueled the quest for versatile ... -
Effect of crosslinking density of polymers and chemical structure of amine-containing monomers on the neutralization capacity of dentin adhesives
(Elsevier, 2015-10)Objectives Neutralization of the acidic micro-environment at the tooth/material interface is expected to provide enhanced durability for dental composite restorations. The objective of this study is to explore the effect ... -
Earthquake-Resistant Fiber Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams Without Diagonal Bars
(American Concrete Institute, 2017-03-01)Results from large-scale tests on fibre-reinforced concrete coupling beams subjected to large displacement reversals are reported. The main goal of using fibre reinforcement was to eliminate the need for diagonal bars and ... -
Elimination of Diagonal Reinforcement in Earthquake-Resistant Coupling Beams through Use of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
(American Concrete Institute, 2107)The design of reinforced concrete coupling beams in regions of high seismicity typically includes the use of diagonal bars designed to resist the entire shear demand, along with closely spaced transverse reinforcement to ... -
Evaluation of Cracking Performance of Bridge Decks in Minnesota
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2013-10)Six bridge decks in Minnesota supported by steel girders were evaluated based on cracking performance. The decks included two constructed in accordance with Minnesota low-cracking specifications and four constructed in ... -
Proposed Modifications to ACI 318-95 Tension Development and Lap Splice for High-Strength Concrete
(American Concrete Institute, 1999-11-01)Safety concerns and a lack of test data are responsible for the current upper limit of 100 psi on the square root of the concrete compressive strength for use in calculating tension development and lap splice lengths. Based ... -
Effect of mucoprotein on the bond strength of resin composite to human dentin
(Springer Verlag, 2011-07)The purpose of this study was to test the bond strength and analyze the morphology of the dentin-adhesive interface of two etch and rinse and two self-etch adhesive systems with two kinds of artificial saliva (with and ... -
Bond strength of adhesives to dentin contaminated with smoker’s saliva
(Springer Verlag, 2010-02)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of contamination with smoker’s and non-smoker’s saliva on the bond strength of resin composite to superficial dentin using different adhesive systems. The interfacial ... -
Stem cell secretome-rich nanoclay hydrogel: a dual action therapy for cardiovascular regeneration†
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-03-31)A nanocomposite hydrogel with photocrosslinkable micro-porous networks and a nanoclay component was successfully prepared to control the release of growth factor-rich stem cell secretome. The proven pro-angiogenic and ... -
Anchorage Strength of Standard Hooked Bars in Simulated Exterior Beam-Column Joints
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2017-04)The current ACI hooked bar design provisions are based on test results of 38 simulated beam-column joints containing two hooked bars. The provisions address the effects of hooked bar surface condition, concrete cover, ... -
Anchorage Strength of Reinforcing Bars With Standard Hooks
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2017-04)Hooked bars are often used to anchor reinforcing steel where concrete dimensions are not sufficient to provide the required development length for straight reinforcement, such as in external beam-column joints. The purpose ...
