Assessing Impacts of Grass on Vertical Accuracy of Digital Surface Models Derived from Unmanned Aircraft Systems Imagery
(2018-12-01)
Digital surface models (DSM), which are 3D representations of the Earth's surface including all natural and built features, can be created many ways, including directly through lidar acquisitions or indirectly through ...
Fabrication, swelling, and biological properties of surface-patterned hydrogels based on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)
(2018-12)
Hydrogels are networks of hydrophilic polymers which can retain large amounts of water. Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [poly(HEMA)] is a synthetic hydrogel well known for various biomedical applications due to excellent ...
Changes in gene expression under water stress in the flag leaf and seed head during the grain-filling stage of two spring wheat cultivars
(2018-05)
Drought poses severe limitations on crop production. Therefore, drought tolerance mechanisms need to be better understood to select, modify and recommend certain cultivars of wheat. The grain filling stage of wheat development ...
Fecal contaminant source tracking using mitochondrial DNA detection of target organism by PCR and qPCR
(2018-12)
Water quality impairment by fecal waste pollution of surface water and groundwater is a public health issue by introducing pathogenic microorganisms and/or excessive nutrients leading to eutrophication of surface water. ...
Evolution of educator professional development in the age of social media: A case study of the #Oklaed community of practice on twitter
(2018-05)
This case study examines in what ways the #Oklaed hashtag on Twitter represents a community of practice, why educators are participating in this space, and what benefits educators see in their practice. Educators are ...
Development and Characterization of Mgb4o7 for Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimetry
(2018-12-01)
The objective of this study was to investigate MgB4O7 for optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry. First, detailed characterization of MgB4O7:Ce,Li, shown in literature recently as a potential OSL material, was ...
Shear-Wave Reflection Imaging of Glacial-Deposit Aquifers in Northern Illinois
(2018-05-01)
Geologically-complex glacial sediment present challenges in mapping shallow aquifers with the conventionally-used electrical and electromagnetic geophysical methods. Horizontally-polarized seismic shear (SH)-wave reflection ...
Residents' perception of their quality of life and tolerance of tourism as a diagnostic model for assessing the social carrying capacity in small island developing states: The case of Ocho Rios, Jamaica
(2018-12)
The purpose of the study is to test the residents' perception of quality of life and tolerance of tourism as reliable predictors of the social carrying capacity in small island developing states. The concept of Carrying ...
Adaptive Architectural Enhancements for 16-Bit Machine Learning Application-Specific Processors
(2018-12-01)
This paper presents architectural enhancements that allow for the use of digital signal processing operations, such as convolution and multiply-and-accumulate operations, that can be applied to machine learning applications ...
Influence of Inherited Structures on Segmentation and Linkages of Two Subparallel Faults in Southern Malawi Rift
(2018-05-01)
Important questions remain about the role preexisting structures play on the development of magma poor rifts. The influence of preexisting pervasive upper crustal fabrics on the development and evolution of faults is poorly ...
