(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 ... -
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 ...
