Generalized inverse limits and the intermediate value property.
(2021-07-26)We introduce and discuss various notions of the intermediate value property applicable to upper-semicontinuous set-valued functions f : [0, 1] → 2^[0,1]. In the first part, we present sufficient conditions such that an ... -
Investigating the chemistry of the 9-borataphenanthrene anion.
(2021-07-12)Boron-containing analogues of unsaturated hydrocarbons exhibit a diverse array of reactivity modes that can be exploited for the synthesis of other more complex boron-containing compounds. Examples of such analogues include ... -
Targeted and non-targeted analysis of pesticides, algal toxins, and human pharmaceuticals in aquatic systems.
(2021-06-14)It is well known that complex, chemical mixtures exist in the environment, particularly aquatic systems. Originally designed to treat illnesses, support crop production, and clean, among other uses, chemicals can enter ... -
Pandemic teaching : application of universal design for learning in eighth-grade English language arts and reading.
(2021-04-09)The COVID-19 pandemic changed the landscape of education globally, requiring educators to teach online and in-building with social distancing protocols. In this context, U.S. school districts were tasked with addressing ... -
The effect of defects and imperfections on the structural integrity of adhesively bonded laminated composites.
(2021-03-26)The increased demand for long range, fuel efficient and high performance, high fuel economy automobiles has resulted in the growth of use of composites in aerospace and automotive sectors . Adhesive bonding is the preferred ... -
Edge computing with an “Internet of Things” based sensor array : an innovative approach to near real time seismic exploration and monitoring.
(2020-10-27)We demonstrate the feasibility of leveraging an Internet of Things (IoT)-based sensor array to orchestrate edge-based (i.e., in a field setting) storage and computing resources capable of characterizing the subsurface, ... -
Nonlinear responses in dusty plasmas.
(2020-09-29)Dusty plasma as a system containing both plasmas and dust particles. Dusty plasma systems are found throught out the industy and the space, for example, dust are found in plasma etching and in TOKAMAKs, as well as Saturn ... -
Toxicological response to nanomaterial exposure in in vitro lung cells are determined by cell-type.
(2020-10-08)Nanotechnology is an advancing field that continually introduces new nano-enabled products into consumer products thereby increasing the risk of nanoparticle exposure to humans and the surrounding environment. The increased ... -
Bayesian approaches for survival data in pharmaceutical research.
(2020-09-15)In this research, we consider Bayesian methodologies to address problems in biopharmaceutical research, most of which are motivated by real-world problems in network meta-analysis, prior elicitation, and adaptive designs. ... -
Photogrammetric measurements of frost roughness evolution on a cold-soaked wing tank model.
(2020-07-15)An aircraft subjected to cold-soaked fuel frost (CSFF) on its wing surface is not allowed to take off without FAA certification because of aerodynamic performance degradation caused by frost accretion. A physical model of ... -
Resolving the evolutionary history of multiple groups of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae).
(2020-07-02)Freshwater mussels are a group of aquatic invertebrates comprised of approximately one thousand species worldwide, and the greatest diversity of freshwater mussels lies within North America with at least three hundred ... -
Self-sufficient IT : a study of CRM implementation in higher education settings.
(2020-04-22)The popularity of cloud-based vertical Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology has led to an increase in user-led implementations of CRMs in higher education institutions (HEIs). Many of these CRMs come with ... -
