Communication Solutions for Scaling Number of Collaborative Agents in Swarm of Unmanned Aerial Systems Using Frequency Based Hierarchy
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-21)Swarms of unmanned aerial systems (UASs) usage is becoming more prevalent in the world. Many private companies and government agencies are actively developing analytical and technological solutions for multi-agent cooperative ... -
Type Dependent Policy Language
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)Remote attestation is the act of making trust decisions about a communicating party. During thisprocess, an appraiser asks a target to execute an attestation protocol that generates and returns evidence. The appraiser can ... -
Silicon-oxygen bond formation for the novel synthesis of siloxane molecules and structures
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-21)The extended bond length and bond angle of the Si-O linkage yields molecules with properties far different that their carbon analogues—alcohols and ethers. Particularly, Si-O bonds exhibit depressed basicity despite the ... -
Development of Crack Characterization Methodology Using Digital Image Correlation
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)Distortion-induced fatigue cracking is a primary maintenance and structural safety concern in steel bridges built prior to the 1980s in the United States. Manual, hands-on inspections are currently the primary method ... -
Security & Privacy Practices and Threat Models of Activists During a Political Revolution
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)Activism is a universal concept that has often played a major role in putting an end to injustices and human rights abuses globally. Political activism in specific is a modern day term coined to refer to a form of activism ... -
Deformation of Space-based Reflector Antennas
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)Space-based reflector antennas are susceptible to a variety of conditions that can result in surface deviation that affect the antenna’s performance. This is especially true for small-satellite antennas, where the reflector ... -
Seismic performance characterization of Nepali school buildings using a novel micro-modeling approach
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)The ultimate goal of this research is to reduce the seismic vulnerability of school buildings in rural Nepal. Following the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal, major changes were adopted into seismic design code provisions ... -
Enhanced Lipase – Catalyzed Triglyceride Hydrolysis
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)The use of microbial lipases for the hydrolysis of natural oils such as triglyceride esters is a green alternative to conventional high temperature, high pressure steam-based technologies and other chemical synthesis. The ... -
A New Fault-Tolerant Topology and Operation Scheme for the High Voltage Stage in a Three-Phase Solid-State Transformer
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)Solid-state transformers (SSTs) are comprised of several cascaded power stages with different voltage levels. This leads to more challenges for operation and maintenance of the SSTs not only under critical conditions, but ... -
Toward Alaska Native research and data sovereignty: Observations and experiences from the Yukon Flats
(SAGE Publications, 2023-05-02)Indigenous Peoples research and data sovereignty is of paramount importance to a healthy relationship between Indigenous Peoples and the research enterprise. The development of Indigenous methods and methodologies lends ... -
Life and times of data access: Regarding Native Lands
(SAGE Publications, 2023-05-03)It is challenging to understand the full and detailed story of Native People’s lands in the United States. In this article, we contend that reliable and accessible data regarding Native People’s lands complicate and ... -
Indigenous research sovereignties: Sparking the deeper conversations we need
(Sage, 2023-05-23)This article seeks to spark a conversation and further debate through the 15 papers and 3 commentaries comprising this special issue entitled “Indigenous Research Sovereignty.” By inviting the authors to publish in this ... -
Correlating physicochemical and biological properties to define critical quality attributes of a recombinant AAV vaccine candidate (Dataset)
(Cell Press, 2023-06-05)Recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) are a preferred vector system in clinical gene transfer. A fundamental challenge to formulate and deliver rAAVs as stable and efficacious vaccines is to elucidate interrelationships ... -
Do the SCOFF items function differently by food-security status in U.S. college students?: Statistically, but not practically, significant differences
(Elsevier, 2023-05-12)Despite food insecurity (FI) being associated with eating disorders (EDs), little research has examined if ED screening measures perform differently in individuals with FI. This study tested whether items on the SCOFF ... -
