Fecal Indicator Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Storm Runoff from Dairy Manure and Compost-Amended Vegetable Plots
(American Society for Agronomy, 2019-07-01)Given the presence of antibiotics and resistant bacteria in livestock manures, it is important to identify the key pathways by which land-applied manure-derived soil amendments potentially spread resistance. The goal of ... -
Filtration evaluation and clinical use of expired elastomeric P-100 filter cartridges during the COVID-19 pandemic
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-05-27)To the Editor—The limited supply of more conventional disposable personal protective equipment (PPE), namely single-use N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs), among hospital systems in the United States during the ... -
flEECe, an energy use and occupant behavior dataset for net-zero energy affordable senior residential buildings
(2019-11-26)The behaviors of building occupants have continued to perplex scholars for years in our attempts to develop models for energy efficient housing. Building simulations, project delivery approaches, policies, and more have ... -
Flexible Pavements and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Review and Implications
(MDPI, 2020-02-02)Flexible pavements and climate are interactive. Pavements are climate sensitive infrastructure, where climate can impact their deterioration rate, subsequent maintenance, and life-cycle costs. Meanwhile, climate mitigation ... -
Flow characteristics and dynamic responses of a rear circular cylinder behind the square cylinder with different side lengths
(2017-06)Wake-induced vibrations of a 2-DOF circular cylinder which is placed behind a stationary square cylinder with tandem arrangement are numerically investigated at low Reynolds numbers by using semi-implicit Characteristics-based ... -
Force-displacement behavior of a beam with butterfly-shaped dampers implementing GE programming
(Springer, 2020)Structural steel plates having engineered cut-outs to exhibit controlled yielding is recently proposed for desirable performance compared to conventional systems. Butterfly-shaped beams with hexagonal cut-outs inside of ... -

(2019-11)Structural steel plates having engineered cut-outs to exhibit controlled yielding is recently proposed for desirable performance compared to conventional systems. Butterfly-shaped beams with hexagonal cut-outs inside of ... -
Force-displacement relationship of the butterfly-shaped beams based on gene expression programming
(Springer, 2020-09)Structural steel plates with engineered cut-outs to exhibit controlled yielding mechanism is recently proposed for desirable structural performance compared to conventional systems. Butterfly-shaped beams with hexagonal ... -
Forecasting Model for Air Taxi, Commercial Airline, and Automobile Demand in the United States
(Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, 2008)A nationwide model predicts the annual county-to-county person roundtrips for air taxi, commercial airline, and automobile at 1-year intervals through 2030. The transportation systems analysis model (TSAM) uses the four-step ... -
Fractal Analysis on Asphalt Mixture Using a Two-Dimensional Imaging Technique
(Hindawi, 2016-11-15)Fractal is a mathematical set that has a fractal dimension which usually exceeds its topological dimension and may be nonintegral. Since the asphalt pavement texture has limitations of randomness and self-similarity, fractal ... -
Fracture Resilience and Redundancy of Built-up Steel Girders
(American Institute of Steel Construction, 2016-04-15)Internal member redundancy provides built-up steel girders with the ability to resist total member failure in the event an individual component fails. Anecdotal evidence of in- service performance has historically shown ... -
From yards to cities: a simple and generalizable probabilistic framework for upscaling outdoor water conservation behavior
(2020-05)Outdoor watering of lawns accounts for about half of single-family residential potable water demand in the arid southwest United States. Consequently, many water utilities in the region offer customers cash rebates to ... -
