Trunk Control Response to Unstable Seated Posture During Various Feedback Conditions in People with Chronic Low Back Pain
(Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions, 2019)AIMS: People with chronic low back pain (CLBP) tend to have altered postural control. Visual biofeedback may be used to restore postural control. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the effect of visual ... -
Reservoir simulation of primary production in the Zenith Field, Stafford and Reno Counties in Kansas
(University of Kansas, 1991-08-31)The Zenith Field is a large reservoir with production coming from four formations, namely 1) Misener Limestone, 2) Misener Sandstone, 3) Maquoketa Dolomite, and 4) Viola Limestone. Initial oil in place was estimated to be ... -
RE-0756-01: Effectiveness of Mechanical Treatment of Crack-Arrest Holes Subject to Distortion-Induced Fatigue
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2021-02-01)This report details a study that was aimed at assessing the effectiveness of mechanically-treating crack arrest holes used at the tips of distortion-induced fatigue cracks. Different mechanisms are possible for producing ... -
The Power of Environmental Observatories for Advancing Multidisciplinary Research, Outreach, and Decision Support: The Case of the Minnesota River Basin
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-02-25)Observatory‐scale data collection efforts allow unprecedented opportunities for integrative, multidisciplinary investigations in large, complex watersheds, which can affect management decisions and policy. Through the ... -
Phosphorus Transport in Intensively Managed Watersheds
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-10-24)Understanding controls of P movement through watersheds are essential for improved landscape management in intensively managed regions. Here, we analyze observational data from 104 gaged river sites and 176 nongaged river ... -
Nitrate Pathways, Processes, and Timing in an Agricultural Karst System: Development and Application of a Numerical Model
(Wiley, 2019-02-25)Nitrogen (N) contamination within agricultural‐karst landscapes and aquifers is widely reported; however, the complex hydrological pathways of karst make N fate difficult to ascertain. We developed a hydrologic and N ... -
Measuring vorticity vector from the spinning of micro-sized mirror-encapsulated spherical particles in the flow
(American Institute of Physics, 2019-11-13)We demonstrate a nonintrusive technique that is capable of measuring all three-components of vorticity following small tracer particles in the flow. The vorticity is measured by resolving the instantaneous spin of the ... -
A new development in magnetic particle tracking technology and its application in a sheared dense granular flow
(American Institute of Physics, 2019-06-26)This paper presents a new development in the magnetic particle tracking (MPT) technology that measures the translational and rotational motions of a small particle. A main advantage of MPT is that it is able to track objects ... -
Effect of Evotherm-M1 on Properties of Asphaltic Materials Used at NAPMRC Testing Facility
(ASTM International, 2019-12-30)Rheological properties of asphalt binders significantly affect distress development and performance of asphalt concrete materials. This article presents the effect of Evotherm-M1 modifications on rheological properties of ... -
Effect of Deformation Height and Spacing on Bond Strength of Reinforcing Bars
(American Concrete Institute, 1993-11-01)The effect of deformation pattern on bond strength is studied using 1-in. (25-mm) diameter machined bars with deformation heights of 0.05, 0.075, and 0.10 in. (1.27, 1.91, and 2.54 mm) and deformation spacings ranging from ... -
Stress Distributions and Pullout Responses of Extensible and Inextensible Reinforcement in Soil Using Different Normal Loading Methods
(ASTM International, 2018-11-05)In design of reinforced soil structures, pullout capacity of reinforcement in an anchorage zone is an important parameter for stability analysis. This parameter is generally quantified by conducting laboratory or field ... -
A Review of Brittleness Index Correlations for Unconventional Tight and Ultra-Tight Reservoirs
(MDPI, 2019-07-19)Brittleness is a key parameter in the development of the unconventional shale and tight carbonate reservoirs as it plays a role in the design of the hydraulic fractures as well as the selection of the sweet-spot locations ... -
Effect of Supplementary Cementitious Materials on Chloride Threshold and Corrosion Rate of Reinforcement
(American Concrete Institute, 2019-01)Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are commonly used as a means of reducing cost, reducing environmental impact, or reducing permeability of concrete, but the current field of research has found mixed results in ... -

Practical and Secure Outsourcing Algorithms of Matrix Operations Based on a Novel Matrix Encryption Method
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-04-26)With the recent growth and commercialization of cloud computing, outsourcing computation has become one of the most important cloud services, which allows the resource-constrained clients to efficiently perform large-scale ... -
Priorities and Interactions of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with Focus on Wetlands
(MDPI, 2019-03-25)Wetlands are often vital physical and social components of a country’s natural capital, as well as providers of ecosystem services to local and national communities. We performed a network analysis to prioritize Sustainable ... -
Concrete Crack Detection and Monitoring Using a Capacitive Dense Sensor Array
(MDPI, 2019-04-18)Cracks in concrete structures can be indicators of important damage and may significantly affect durability. Their timely identification can be used to ensure structural safety and guide on-time maintenance operations. ... -
Partial type constructors: Or, making ad hoc datatypes less ad hoc
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2020-01)Functional programming languages assume that type constructors are total. Yet functional programmers know better: counterexamples range from container types that make limiting assumptions about their contents (e.g., requiring ... -
Exceptional asynchronous session types: Session types without tiers
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2019-01)Session types statically guarantee that communication complies with a protocol. However, most accounts of session typing do not account for failure, which means they are of limited use in real applications---especially ... -
Abstracting extensible data types: Or, rows by any other name
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2019-01)We present a novel typed language for extensible data types, generalizing and abstracting existing systems of row types and row polymorphism. Extensible data types are a powerful addition to traditional functional programming ...
