All-in-one, wireless, stretchable hybrid electronics for smart, connected, and ambulatory physiological monitoring
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019-07-24)Commercially available health monitors rely on rigid electronic housing coupled with aggressive adhesives and conductive gels, causing discomfort and inducing skin damage. Also, research-level skin-wearable devices, while ... -
Impact of international entry choices on the nature and type of innovation: Evidence from emerging economy firms from the Indian bio-pharmaceutical industry
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019-07-31)As emerging economy multinational enterprises (EMNEs) enter foreign countries in search of new markets, seeking to expand their knowledge bases, research on the type and nature of innovation activity is needed to address ... -
Are buffalograss (Buchloë dactyloides) cytotypes spatially and ecologically differentiated?
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019-07-23)Premise: Although autopolyploidy is common among dominant Great Plains grasses, the distribution of cytotypes within a given species is typically poorly understood. This study aims to establish the geographic distribution ... -
Canopy gap regime as a function of woodland age in the Kansas Cross Timbers
(Springer Nature, 2019-09)Oaks (Quercus spp.) have low or intermediate shade-tolerances and forest canopy gaps can promote their regeneration. Current fire frequencies and/or intensities in eastern North America are less than they were historically, ... -
Uncertainty mitigation in feeder level power loss reduction with distributed generation
(IEEE, 2019)The grid is moving towards a system of decentralized distributed generation using a large number of small scale renewable generation resources. These resources are stochastic in nature and therefore have to be continuously ... -
Secret-key generation in many-to-one networks: an integrated game-theoretic and information-theoretic approach
(IEEE, 2019-08)This paper considers secret-key generation between several agents and a base station that observe independent and identically distributed realizations of correlated random variables. Each agent wishes to generate the longest ... -
Intersectionality in action: gun ownership and women's political participation
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019-07-25)Objective: We hypothesize that gun ownership among women is an important determinant of political engagement. Methods: First, using 2013 Pew Research Center data, we examine different types of political participation ... -
Ion mobility spectrometry of macromolecules with dipole alignment switchable by varying the gas pressure
(American Chemical Society, 2019-06-05)Since inception in the 1980s, differential or field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) was implemented at or near the ambient gas pressure (AP). Recently, we developed FAIMS at 15-30 Torr within a mass ... -
Home prices and fundamentals: solving the mystery for the G-7 by accounting for nonlinearities
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2019-07-08)Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether house prices and income share a stable, stationary relationship in the G-7 countries. This stable relationship has been clearly implied by theory but has been ... -
Control of a flexible wing with flaps using a set theoretic active-passive framework
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc., 2019-01-06)This paper develops a distributed parameter model for a multiple component structure morphing, flexible wing aircraft with a n trailing edge rigid flaps. Using a set-theoretic adaptive control approach that utilizes ... -
Evaluation of ls-dyna mat162 for modeling composite fastener joints for high rates of loading
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc., 2019-01)In the present work, the behavior of composite-fastener joints in bearing failure at dynamic stroke rates of 500 in/s, 300 in/s and 100 in/s has been evaluated through progressive damage analysis (PDA) material model in ... -
Simulated flight testing of an adaptive loss-of-control avoidance pilot advisory display
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc., 2019-01-06)Loss-of-Control has been consistently deemed the primary contributor to air accidents globally. Systems capable of alerting pilots when impending control loss is predicted to occur have the potential to promote safer flight. ... -
Retrofit winglets for wind turbines
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc., 2019-01-06)The benefits of using winglets on wind turbines has been well documented. However, adding winglets to wind turbine blades leads to significant increases in blade root bending moments, requiring expensive structural ... -
A non-invasive wearable readout system for bio-fluid phenomena detection
(IEEE, 2019-07-25)This work presents a preliminary evaluation of a complete wearable radiofrequency (RF, 40 MHz bandwidth) readout device for a novel electromagnetic skin patch sensor to monitor health parameters associated with shifts in ... -
Machine learning applied to programming quantum computers
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2019-01-06)We apply machine learning to “program” quantum computers, both in simulation and in experimental hardware. A major difficulty in quantum computing is developing effective algorithms that can be programmed on a quantum ... -
Observation of seasonal variation of atmospheric multiple-muon events in the NOvA Near Detector
(American Physical Society, 2019-06-28)Using two years of data from the NOvA Near Detector at Fermilab, we report a seasonal variation of cosmic ray induced multiple-muon (Nμ≥2) event rates which has an opposite phase to the seasonal variation in the atmospheric ... -
Multifunctional wearable biopatch for real-time monitoring of physiological activities
(SPIE, 2019-03-27)Heart disease is the most common cause of death, so there is a great need for non-invasive continuous monitoring of heart activities in daily life for early diagnosis and treatment. However, existing devices are not suitable ... -
Performance and consumer satisfaction-based bi-level tariff scheme for EV charging as a VPP
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2019-06-04)Appropriate control of the electric vehicle (EV) charging and corresponding prices can act as a virtual power plant (VPP) and support distribution system operators (DSOs). When multiple EVs are directly managed or controlled ... -
Real-time adaptive prediction of loss-of-control margins on a fourth order aircraft
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc., 2019-01-06)Loss-of-Control events continue to be the most significant contributing factor to air accidents worldwide. Predictive systems capable of warning pilots of impending entry into control loss have the potential to further ... -
