Fault diagnosis approaches for nonlinear real-world systems play a very important role in maintaining dependable, robust operations of safety-critical systems like aircraft, automobiles, power plants and planetary rovers. ...

Supporting public health research in identifying disease disparities and developing targeted interventions, as well as enabling the public’s situational awareness during a pandemic, requires regular dissemination of ...

Fracture and failure mechanics of advanced materials and structures with interfaces was investigated both experimentally and numerically. Dynamic fracture mechanics was used to model the phenomena when a main crack was ...

This Article provides a comprehensive analysis of state constitutional limits on legislative incorporation of dynamic federal law, as occurs when a state legislature incorporates future federal tax, environmental or health ...

Pneumatically actuated robotic systems are attractive alternatives to traditional electromechanical systems (i.e., batteries and DC motors) due to the inherent power density advantage of pneumatic actuators. This assumes ...

This dissertation presents innovative solutions to address the challenges in the 5G & IoT network, including self-adaptive load balancing, software-defined dynamic 5G network slice management, unsupervised traffic ...

The development of dynamically reconfigurable materials has long been a goal of the metamaterial community. Vanadium dioxide, a first-order phase change material, is a prime candidate for an actively tunable element as its ...

Acquisition and extinction of learned fear responses utilize flexible yet conserved neural circuits that promote or suppress fear expression, respectively. Here we show that acquisition of passive fear behavior is associated ...

This project consisted of the implementation of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in an electronic-structure code and the application of this code to study the dynamics of atoms, molecules and solids in the ...
