(2015-12)
Mindfulness, a non-elaborative and non-judgmental quality of consciousness, has been repeatedly conceptualized based on the concept of self-regulation of attention to thoughts and emotions. The present study investigates ...
Study of control actions on a manufacturing system subject to a dynamic environment created by customers, suppliers and competitors
(2011-12)
The existence of multiple, overlapping manufacturing philosophies creates confusion among manufacturing system managers who seek to better control the performance of the manufacturing system when responding to changes in ...
Three essays in applied economics on labor supply decisions
(2016-05)
The present study contains three applied economic essays which empirically investigate regional and educational factors influencing labor supply decisions. The first essay uses minimum distance from work PUMA centroid to ...
Biomedical signal processing and inference in wearable sensing applications
(2016-12)
With the increase in health care costs, there is a great need to develop a low-cost and efficient health care system with better accessibility. Recent advances in the fields of embedded sensing, mobile computing, and ...
Structural dynamics of photoactive yellow protein
(2013-07)
Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is a blue light photoreceptor protein. PYP is a structural prototype of the PAS domain superfamily of regulating and signaling proteins. Upon absorption of a blue light photon, PYP exhibits ...
Coaxial and triaxial structured fibers by electrospinning for tissue engineering and sustained drug release
(2016-05)
Coaxial and triaxial electrospinning are novel methods for fabrication of multilayered nano and micro-size fibers with desirable features such as co-solution blending, reinforced core, porous and hollow structure. However, ...
Statistics of the number of real zeros of random orthogonal polynomials
(2016-05)
We study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials Pn(x)=sum_{j=0}^n cjpj(x), where {pj(x)}{j=0}^\infinity is a set of orthonormal polynomials with respect to some measure, ...
Frequency stability in thin-film piezoelectric-on-substrate oscillators
(2013-12)
For many years, crystal oscillators have been used as the de facto frequency reference in almost all electronic platforms because they offer excellent stability and superior phase noise. This is mainly due to the high ...
