High-precision, non-invasive anti-microvascular approach via concurrent ultrasound and laser irradiation
(Nature Research, 2017-01-11)Antivascular therapy represents a proven strategy to treat angiogenesis. By applying synchronized ultrasound bursts and nanosecond laser irradiation, we developed a novel, selective, non-invasive, localized antivascular ... -
Vision-Based Real-Time Aerial Object Localization and Tracking for UAV Sensing System
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-10-23)This paper focuses on the problem of vision-based obstacle detection and tracking for unmanned aerial vehicle navigation. A real-time object localization and tracking strategy from monocular image sequences is developed ... -
Robust Structure and Motion Recovery Based on Augmented Factorization
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-09-21)This paper proposes a new strategy to promote the robustness of structure from motion algorithm from uncalibrated video sequences. First, an augmented affine factorization algorithm is formulated to circumvent the difficulty ... -
Use of Innovative Concrete Mixes for Improved Constructability and Sustainability of Bridge Decks, 2010-2013
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2013-05)Bridge deck crack surveys were performed on twelve bridges on US-59 south of Lawrence, KS to determine the effects of mixture proportions, concrete properties, deck type, and girder type on the crack density of reinforced ... -
Development of a reaction cell for in-situ/operando studies of surface of a catalyst under a reaction condition and during catalysis
(AIP Publishing, 2016-06-06)Tracking surface chemistry of a catalyst during catalysis is significant for fundamental understanding of catalytic performance of the catalyst since it allows for establishing an intrinsic correlation between surface ... -
A Nonlinear Constitutive Theory for Deviatoric Cauchy Stress Tensor for Incrompressible Viscous Fluids
(Yildiz Technical University, 2017-07)Newton’s law of visocosity is a commonly used constitutive theory for deviatoric Cauchy stress tensor. In this constitutive theory originally constructed based on experimental observation, the deviatoric Cauchy stress is ... -
A Nonlinear Constitutive Theory for Heat Conduction in Lagrangian Description Based on Integrity
(Yildiz Technical University, 2017-12)If the deforming matter is to be in thermodynamic equilibrium, then all constitutive theories, including those for heat vector, must satisfy conservation and balance laws. It is well known that only the second law of ... -
Mixed Messages: Measuring Conformance and Non-Interference in TypeScript
(Schloss Dagstuhl, 2017)TypeScript participates in the recent trend among programming languages to support gradual typing. The DefinitelyTyped Repository for TypeScript supplies type definitions for over 2000 popular JavaScript libraries. However, ... -
Morphing of Building Footprints Using a Turning Angle Function
(MDPI, 2017)We study the problem of morphing two polygons of building footprints at two different scales. This problem frequently occurs during the continuous zooming of interactive maps. The ground plan of a building footprint on a ... -
Visible light guided manipulation of liquid wettability on photoresponsive surfaces
(Nature Research, 2017-04-25)Photoresponsive titania surfaces are of great interest due to their unique wettability change upon ultraviolet light illumination. However, their applications are often limited either by the inability to respond to visible ... -
An Empirical Framework for Intersection Optimization Based on Uniform Design
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2017-02)Operational performance optimization of signalized intersections is one of the most important tasks for traffic engineers and researchers. To compensate for the limitations of practical implementation, simulation software ... -
Metallic superhydrophobic surfaces via thermal sensitization
(AIP Publishing, 2017-06)Superhydrophobic surfaces (i.e., surfaces extremely repellent to water) allow water droplets to bead up and easily roll off from the surface. While a few methods have been developed to fabricate metallic superhydrophobic ... -
Phase noise characterization of a QD-based diode laser frequency comb
(Optical Society of America, 2017)We measure, simultaneously, the phases of a large set of comb lines from a passively mode locked, InAs/InP, quantum dot laser frequency comb (QDLFC) by comparing the lines to a stable comb reference using multi-heterodyne ... -
Controlling Adult Stem Cell Behavior Using Nanodiamond-Reinforced Hydrogel: Implication in Bone Regeneration Therapy
(Nature Research, 2017-07-26)Nanodiamonds (NDs) have attracted considerable attention as drug delivery nanocarriers due to their low cytotoxicity and facile surface functionalization. Given these features, NDs have been recently investigated for the ... -
CORROSION PERFORMANCE OF PLAIN AND EPOXY-COATED MMFX BARS
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2018-10)The corrosion resistance of ASTM A1035 Type CL (2% Cr), CM (4% Cr), and CS (9% Cr) steel bars produced by MMFX Technologies were evaluated in both cracked and uncracked concrete as well as in the rapid macrocell test. ... -
The Root Cause of Blame: Contracts for Intersection and Union Types
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-11)Gradual typing has emerged as the tonic for programmers with a thirst for a blend of static and dynamic typing. Contracts provide a lightweight form of gradual typing as they can be implemented as a library, rather than ... -
Deficiencies in Traditional Oral Dosage Forms and the Emergence of Controlled-Release Powder Manufacturing
(Hosokawa Powder Technology Foundation, 2017)The importance of providing safe and effective delayed- and extended-release oral formulations that can replace products requiring multiple administrations has been continually cited as an area in need of improvement for ... -
Multiplex lexical networks reveal patterns in early word acquisition in children
(Nature Research, 2017)Network models of language have provided a way of linking cognitive processes to language structure. However, current approaches focus only on one linguistic relationship at a time, missing the complex multi-relational ... -
Comparison of measurements from different radio-echo sounding systems and synchronization with the ice core at Dome C, Antarctica
(European Geosciences Union, 2017)We present a compilation of radio-echo sounding (RES) measurements of five radar systems (AWI, BAS, CReSIS, INGV and UTIG) around the EPICA Dome C (EDC) drill site, East Antarctica. The aim of our study is to investigate ... -
Diagonally Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams: Effects of Axial Restraint
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2018-09-01)Diagonally reinforced concrete coupling beams are commonly used in mid- and high-rise buildings to connect adjacent structural walls separated by openings. Under lateral loading, these beams can undergo large inelastic ...
