Urbanization as a limiter and catalyst of watershed-scale sediment transport: Insights from probabilistic connectivity modeling
(Elsevier, 2023-10-10)The conversion of rural lands to urban areas exerts considerable influence on the hydrologic processes governing sediment transport at the watershed scale. While the effects of urbanization on hydrology have been well-studied, ... -
Subthreshold white noise vibration alters trembling sway in older adults
(Elsevier, 2023-06-28)Background Somatosensory deficit is a significant contributor to falls in older adults. Stochastic resonance has shown promise in recent studies of somatosensation-based balance disorders, improving many measures of ... -
Data-driven prognosis of failure detection and prediction of lithium-ion batteries
(Elsevier, 2023-10-15)Battery prognostics and health management predictive models are essential components of safety and reliability protocols in battery management system frameworks. Overall, developing a robust and efficient fault diagnostic ... -
Output force and ratio of laparoscopic graspers: an evaluation of operating room ergonomics
(Elsevier, 2023-05-15)Background “Laparoscopist's thumb,” or thenar paresthesia, can result from prolonged or excessive grip force during laparoscopy, as can more general syndromes, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. This is particularly relevant ... -
An index for inferring dominant transport pathways of solutes and sediment: Assessing land use impacts with high-frequency conductivity and turbidity sensor data
(Elsevier, 2023-10-10)Land use change threatens aquatic ecosystems through freshwater salinization and sediment pollution. Effective river management requires an understanding of the dominant hydrologic pathways of sediment and solute delivery. ... -
Evaluation of Multiple Corrosion Protection Systems for Reinforced Concrete Bridge Decks
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2023-07)This study evaluated the corrosion resistance of epoxy-coated (ASTM A775), hot-dip galvanized (ASTM A767), and continuously galvanized (ASTM A1094) reinforcement, and the conventional reinforcement (ASTM A615) used to ... -
Effects of Total Internal Water Content on Freeze-Thaw Durability and Scaling Resistance of Internally-Cured Concrete
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2023-07)The effects of total internal (TI) water, provided by normalweight coarse and fine aggregates and pre-wetted fine lightweight aggregate (LWA), in the range of 6.8 to 17.3%, corresponding to internal curing (IC) water in ... -
Anchorage of Large High-Strength Reinforcing Bars with Standard Hooks and Heads: Initial Tests
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2020-02)The reaction frame to be used to test No. 14 and No. 18 bar beam-column joint specimens, the modified reaction frame used to test initial No. 11 beam-column joint specimens, and the design of beam-column joint specimens ... -
Design considerations for piezocomposite materials for electrical stimulation in medical implants
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)Incidence of non-union following long bone fracture fixation and spinal fusion procedures is increasing, and very costly for patients and the medical system. Direct current (DC) electrical stimulation has shown success as ... -
Post-ischemic reorganization of sensory responses in cerebral cortex
(Frontiers Media, 2023-06-02)Introduction: Sensorimotor integration is critical for generating skilled, volitional movements. While stroke tends to impact motor function, there are also often associated sensory deficits that contribute to overall ... -
Gender, Smoking History, and Age Prediction from Laryngeal Images
(MDPI, 2023-05-29)Flexible laryngoscopy is commonly performed by otolaryngologists to detect laryngeal diseases and to recognize potentially malignant lesions. Recently, researchers have introduced machine learning techniques to facilitate ... -
Tailoring the secretome composition of mesenchymal stem cells to augment specific functions of epidermal regeneration: an in vitro diabetic model
(Frontiers Media, 2023-06-12)Introduction: Wound healing consists of a dynamic series of events that are highly dependent on paracrine factors for proper progression through the phases of wound healing. Inappropriate progression through the phases is ... -
A Finite Element Model to Study the Microscopic Behavior of Plain Concrete
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 1976-11)The object of this study is to develop a finite element model of non-homogeneous concrete, consisting of mortar and aggregate, for in-plane loading conditions. Linear elastic properties of aggregate and nonlinear properties ... -
Dynamic Fracture and Crack Arrest Toughness Evaluation of High-Performance Steel Used in Highway Bridges
