Novel system of pavement cracking detection algorithms using 1mm 3D surface data
(2015-12)
Pavement cracking is one of the major concerns for pavement design and management. There have been rapid developments of automated pavement cracking detection in recent years. However, none of them has been widely accepted ...
South's visible hand: Textile mills and the control of white labor in the antebellum southern Piedmont, 1830-1860
(2016-05)
Throughout the antebellum period, the concept of control was a fundamental cornerstone of white southern society. Plantations exhibited the most lucid example of this control where the master dominated not only slaves but ...
Capacity, flexibility and pricing decisions for substitutable products under demand and supply uncertainties
(2017-05)
We study the resource investment and pricing decisions for a profit-maximizing firm producing two substitutable products with partially flexible resources facing three types of uncertainties separately: demand uncertainties, ...
Parental values for the education of their children
(2017-07)
While broad attempts have been made to investigate values undergirding school choice (Bosetti & Pyryt, 2007; Zeehandelaar & Northern, 2013), research has yet to employ a means for subjectively and holistically investigating ...
Fall River Lake: Comparison of reservoir inflow and local bias-correction technique for CMIP3 and CMIP5 climate projections, and legal analysis of low-flow regulation
(2017-05)
Scope and Method of Study: This case study compares the World Climate Research Programme's (WCRP's) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) against the phase 3 (CMIP3) guidance for a case study location of ...
Explicit finite element analysis of web-roller interaction in web process machinery
(2013-05)
A web can be defined as thin material manufactured and processed in continuous flexible strip form. A web is usually supported, guided and propelled by rollers. In order to make it travel through the process machine line, ...
Phenomenological study of individual strategies for rebuilding food production ability in resource poor post-conflict farming communities in Myanmar

The impact of armed conflict upon small-holder agricultural production has only now begun to be closely studied (Verwimp, 2011). Upland communities in Southeast Asia have not been immune from armed conflict. In post-conflict ...
Fermion masses and mixings, flavor violation, and the Higgs boson mass in supersymmetric unified framework
(2011-07)
In spite of the impressive success of the standard model (SM) in explaining a wide variety of low energy experiments, many fundamental questions remain unanswered. Combining grand unification symmetry and flavor symmetry ...
Premilitary suicidal ideation, combat exposure, and posttraumatic stress disorder as predictors of recent suicidal ideation in OEF/OIF era veterans
(2017-07)
There has been an alarming increase in suicidal ideation and suicide among military personnel and veterans since the commencement of the wars in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom; OEF) and Iraq (Operation Iraqi ...
