Dynamics: A Lecturebook
(University of Kansas Libraries, 2018)Engineering mechanics deals with the effects on bodies that are subjected to forces. The two primary subdivisions of mechanics are statics; where the bodies remain at rest, and dynamics; where the bodies are put in motion. ... -
Multi-channel and multi-scale mid-level image representation for scene classification
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2017)Convolutional neural network (CNN)-based approaches have received state-of-the-art results in scene classification. Features from the output of fully connected (FC) layers express one-dimensional semantic information but ... -
RC Coupling Beams with High-Strength Steel Bars: Summary of Test Results
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2019-01)The use of high-strength steel bars in reinforced concrete coupling beams is expected to reduce reinforcement congestion. A series of tests was conducted to investigate the effects of high-strength reinforcement on coupling ... -
Ups and Down of Stair Towers: Improving Comfort and IAQ
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2017-12)Designs of stairways are highly code-regulated for life-safety reasons. Today, for improved environmental sustainability as well as better personal health, popular advice says to use the stairs instead of an elevator ... -
Mini-Split: Two-Story Houses and Stratification
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2017-02)A common complaint from occupants of low or moderate cost two-story houses and apartments is that their “upstairs” floor is often uncomfortably warm in the summer, while their “main” floor is either comfortable or too cool. ... -
Controlling Cracks in Bridge Decks
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2018-12)Laboratory studies incorporating crack-reducing technologies with those included in specifications for low-cracking high-performance concrete (LC-HPC) bridge decks and analyses of data from crack surveys and construction ... -
Open-Access Life Cycle Assessments: ExceLCA for Undergraduate Scholars
(University of Kansas Libraries, 2018-12-20)The project was adapted from comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment methods used to analyze chemical and materials transformations including sourcing, reactions, formulations, use, disposal, remediation, and recycling. It ... -
Heterologous expression and characterization of a high redox potential laccase from Coriolopsis polyzona MUCL 38443
(TÜBİTAK, 2017)In this study, a novel laccase gene, named as Cplcc1, and its corresponding cDNA were isolated and characterized from the Coriolopsis polyzona MUCL 38443 strain. The Cplcc1 gene consists of a 1563-bp open reading frame ... -
The effect of variations in first- and second-order derivatives on airfoil aerodynamic performance
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-12-04)The geometric factors which influence airfoil aerodynamic performance are attributed to variations in local first- and second-order curvature derivatives. Based on a self-developed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program ... -
Abstracting Extensible Data Types: Or, Rows by Any Other Name
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2019)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 ... -
Exceptional Asynchronous Session Types: Session Types without Tiers
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2019)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 applicationsÐespecially distributed ... -
Securing Smart Grid In-Network Aggregation through False Data Detection
(European Alliance for Innovation, 2017-01-14)Existing prevention-based secure in-network data aggregation schemes for the smart grids cannot e ectively detect accidental errors and falsified data injected by malfunctioning or compromised meters. In this work, we ... -
Macroscopic and microscopic analyses of managed lanes on freeway facilities in South Florida
(Elsevier, 2017-12-05)As congestion grows in metropolitan areas, agencies tend to utilize managed lanes on their freeway systems. Managed lanes have several forms and names, such as high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, high-occupancy toll (HOT) ... -
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 ...
