STAGED THERMAL FRACTIONATION OF BIOMASS FOR SEGREGATION OF HEMICELLULOSE, CELLULOSE AND LIGNIN DERIVED PRODUCTS
(2016-05-14)
The increasing industrialization and motorization of the world has led to a steep rise in the demand of petroleum-based fuels. However, negative environmental consequences of fossil fuels, natural limitation in their ...
Bible Translation and Language Renewal: A Collaborative Approach
(2016-05)
Many indigenous languages face attrition globally as the languages of the West continue to grow in influence. As linguists and indigenous speech communities struggle to organize effective language programs, many languages ...
Indoor Localization and Mapping Using Deep Learning Networks
(2017)
Over the past several decades, robots have been used extensively in environments that pose high risk to human operators and in jobs that are repetitive and monotonous. In recent years, robot autonomy has been exploited to ...
Frictional Properties of Fault Gouge in HIgh Velocity/Long Distance Shear Experiments
(2016-05-14)
The present objective is the characterization of the dynamic friction and seismic stability of fault gouge in high-velocity/long-distance shear experiments. The study has two parts based on the gouge source: A) Reservoir ...
RACE, GENDER AND HEALTH LITERACY IN THE MEDICAL ENCOUNTER: A TEST OF CULTURAL HEALTH CAPITAL AND STATUS CHARACTERISTICS THEORY
(2016-05-13)
The doctor-patient relationship is a form of social support that influences patients’ health. Doctor-patient communication impacts doctor-patient relationships and ultimately patients’ health outcomes. Physicians’ communication ...
Verification of 10-Meter Wind Forecasts from NSSL-WRF in Predicting Severe Wind-Producing MCSs
(2016-12-16)
Predicting convective winds associated with mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) remains a major challenge for operational severe weather forecasters. To assess the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model ...
Evaluating the Use of Entropy Field Decomposition in Resting State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis
(2017)
The study of resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data has been the subject of increasing academic interest over the past decade. Despite a growing understanding of the base activity networks ...
SHIFTS OF SOIL MICROBIAL COMMUNITIES IN ALASKAN TUNDRA IN RESPONSE TO LONG-TERM WARMING
(2016-08)
Permafrost regions store about 33% of the world’s soil organic carbon, and are believed to rapidly respond to global warming. The degradation and release of previously stored organic carbon stocks lead to positive feedbacks, ...
Automatic picking and classification of acoustic emission event arrivals
(2010)
Accurate automatic classification and picking of arrival times of events from acoustic emission (AE) signals is of considerable importance for rapid identification and location of seismic events. Due to the large number ...
EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BRINE IN CRUDE OIL EMULSIONS AND ITS PERFORMANCE IN ARTIFICIAL LIFT SYSTEMS
(2018)
Understanding the behavior of water in oil emulsions can prevent flow assurance problems and the conditions at which these two fluids can mix. The stability and rheology of water in crude oil emulsions was studied for three ...
