Antibody-directed evolution reveals a mechanism for enhanced neutralization at the HIV-1 fusion peptide site
(Nature Research, 2023-11-21)The HIV-1 fusion peptide (FP) represents a promising vaccine target, but global FP sequence diversity among circulating strains has limited anti-FP antibodies to ~60% neutralization breadth. Here we evolve the FP-targeting ... -
Cutaneous Hypervascularization Treatment Using Photo-Mediated Ultrasound Therapy
(Elsevier, 2023-09-22)Photo-mediated ultrasound therapy (PUT) is a cavitation-based, highly selective antivascular technique. In this study, the effectiveness and safety of PUT on cutaneous vascular malformation was examined through in vivo ... -
Controlled-Release Hydrogel Microspheres to Deliver Multipotent Stem Cells for Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis
(MDPI, 2023-11-15)Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of joint disease affecting articular cartilage and peri-articular tissues. Traditional treatments are insufficient, as they are aimed at mitigating symptoms. Multipotent Stromal ... -
Generalized Quantum Convolution for Multidimensional Data
(MDPI, 2023-10-31)The convolution operation plays a vital role in a wide range of critical algorithms across various domains, such as digital image processing, convolutional neural networks, and quantum machine learning. In existing ... -
Extraction of active, contaminant degrading enzymes from soil
(US Department of Health and Human Services, 2023-02-17)Soil microorganisms play critical roles in the degradation of micro-and nano-pollutants, and the corresponding proteins and enzymes play roles in pollutant recognition, transportation, and degradation. Our ability to study ... -
Evaluation of Cracking Performance of Bridge Decks With And Without Overlays and With and Without Fibers
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2024-05)Ninety-three spans on 19 bridges, constructed between 2013 and 2020, were surveyed for cracks. The decks were constructed on either steel or prestressed concrete girders. The spans were constructed with or without overlays, ... -
Climate change projected to impact structural hillslope connectivity at the global scale
(Nature Research, 2023-10-25)Structural connectivity describes how landscapes facilitate the transfer of matter and plays a critical role in the flux of water, solutes, and sediment across the Earth’s surface. The strength of a landscape’s connectivity ... -
Correlating Surface Chemistry to Surface Relaxivity via TD-NMR Studies of Polymer Particle Suspensions
(ACS Publications, 2023-10-09)This study elucidates the impact of surface chemistry on solvent spin relaxation rates via time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR). Suspensions of polymer particles of known surface chemistry were prepared in water ... -
An orthotropic continuum model with substructure evolution for describing bone remodeling: an interpretation of the primary mechanism behind Wolff’s law
(Springer, 2023-08-05)We propose a variational approach that employs a generalized principle of virtual work to estimate both the mechanical response and the changes in living bone tissue during the remodeling process. This approach provides ... -
Using pre-surgical suspicion to guide insula implantation strategy
(Elsevier, 2023-07-14)Rationale Insular epilepsy can be a challenging diagnosis due to overlapping semiology and scalp EEG findings with frontal, temporal, and parietal lobe epilepsies. Stereotactic electroencephalography (sEEG) provides an ... -
Aphid cluster recognition and detection in the wild using deep learning models
(Nature Research, 2023-08-17)Aphid infestation poses a significant threat to crop production, rural communities, and global food security. While chemical pest control is crucial for maximizing yields, applying chemicals across entire fields is both ... -
Microgravity Spherical Droplet Evaporation and Entropy Effects
(MDPI, 2023-08-18)Recent efforts to understand low-temperature combustion (LTC) in internal combustion engines highlight the need to improve chemical kinetic mechanisms involved in the negative temperature coefficient (aka cool flame) regime. ... -
Long-term Implications of Redecking Bridges with Prestressed Concrete Girders
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2024-03)Precast/prestressed concrete girders with cast-in-place decks are commonly used for bridge construction throughout the United States. There is a need to replace concrete decks on many of these bridges because girders last ... -
Bond Behavior of Epoxy-Coated Reinforcing Bars in Non-Proprietary UHPC
(Oklahoma Department of Transportation, 2023-10)Non-proprietary ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) mixtures were developed for use in closure strips between precast members on reinforced concrete bridges. The mixtures contained ODOT approved Type I portland cement, ... -
Construction of Low-Cracking High-Performance Bridge Decks Incorporating New Technology Phase II
(Kansas Department of Transportation, 2023-12)The construction, crack surveys, and evaluation of 12 bridge decks with internal curing provided by prewetted fine lightweight aggregate and supplementary cementitious materials following internally cured low-cracking ... -
DATASET: Test Results from Shake Table Tests of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Grade 60 or 100 (420 or 690) Reinforcement
(University of Kansas, 2023-12-13)This dataset reports the acceleration and displacement data collected during tests of two reinforced concrete frames that differed in one way: the longitudinal bars were Grade 60 (420) in C1 and Grade 100 (690) in H1. The ... -
Chord Rotation Capacity and Strength of Diagonally Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams
