Situativity Approaches for Improving Interdisciplinary Team Processes
(ASEE, 2010)Interdisciplinary teaming requires not only multiple levels of expertise but also social competencies gained through interactive contexts. In the classroom, a situativity approach that encourages student engagement can ... -
Development of an individual-based model for polioviruses: implications of the selection of network type and outcome metrics
(Cambridge University Press, 2011-06-01)We developed an individual-based (IB) model to explore the stochastic attributes of state transitions, the heterogeneity of the individual interactions, and the impact of different network structure choices on the poliovirus ... -
Effects of Sound on Postural Stability during Quiet Standing
(2011-12-15)Loss of postural stability can increase the likelihood of slips and falls in workplaces. The present study intended to extend understanding of the effects of frequency and pressure level of sound on postural stability ... -
C-NORTA: A Rejection Procedure for Sampling from the Tail of Bivariate NORTA Distributions
(INFORMS, 2012)We propose C-NORTA, an exact algorithm to generate random variates from the tail of a bivariate NORTA random vector. (A NORTA random vector is specified by a pair of marginals and a rank or product-moment correlation, and ... -
Lower Limb Control and Mobility Following Exercise Training
(2012-02-15)The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of 8-week balance or weight training on ankle joint stiffness and limb stability for older adults, furthermore, on outcomes of slips while walking. Eighteen ... -
Load-Relaxation Properties of the Human Trunk in Response to Prolonged Flexion: Measuring and Modeling the Effect of Flexion Angle
(PLOS, 2012-11-05)Experimental studies suggest that prolonged trunk flexion reduces passive support of the spine. To understand alterations of the synergy between active and passive tissues following such loadings, several studies have ... -
Optimal Sampling Laws for Stochastically Constrained Simulation Optimization on Finite Sets
(INFORMS, 2013)Consider the context of selecting an optimal system from among a finite set of competing systems, based on a "stochastic" objective function and subject to multiple "stochastic" constraints. In this context, we characterize ... -
Fitting the Ph-t/M-t/s/c Time-Dependent Departure Process for Use in Tandem Queueing Networks
(INFORMS, 2013)This paper considers time-dependent Ph-t/M-t/s/c queueing nodes and small tandem networks of such nodes. We examine characteristics of the departure processes from a multiserver queueing node; in particular, we focus on ... -
Relationship between Leadership and Characteristics of Learning Organizations in Deployed Military Units: An Exploratory Study
(MDPI, 2013-09-13)Previous research has shown that military units operating in the context of risky missions display the characteristics of a Learning Organization. The present work provides preliminary exploratory evidence about the ... -
PATRIC, the bacterial bioinformatics database and analysis resource
(2014-01)The Pathosystems Resource Integration Center (PATRIC) is the all-bacterial Bioinformatics Resource Center (BRC) (http://www.patricbrc.org). A joint effort by two of the original National Institute of Allergy and Infectious ... -
The Design of an Urban Roadside Automatic Sprinkling System: Mitigation of PM2.5–10 in Ambient Air in Megacities
(Hindawi, 2014-07-23)The objective of this research paper is to describe the system architecture for an urban roadside automatic mist-generating system. Its primary purpose is to mitigate particulate matter especially PM2.5–10. In this paper, ... -
Evaluation of Two Approaches for Aligning Data Obtained from a Motion Capture System and an In-Shoe Pressure Measurement System
(MDPI, 2014-09-12)An in-shoe pressure measurement (IPM) system can be used to measure center of pressure (COP) locations, and has fewer restrictions compared to the more conventional approach using a force platform. The insole of an IPM ... -
The immune epitope database (IEDB) 3.0
(2015-01-28)The IEDB, www.iedb.org, contains information on immune epitopes-the molecular targets of adaptive immune responses-curated from the published literature and submitted by National Institutes of Health funded epitope discovery ... -

Effects of Government Spending on Research Workforce Development: Evidence from Biomedical Postdoctoral Researchers
(PLOS, 2015-05-01)We examine effects of government spending on postdoctoral researchers’ (postdocs) productivity in biomedical sciences, the largest population of postdocs in the US. We analyze changes in the productivity of postdocs before ... -
Classifying Step and Spin Turns Using Wireless Gyroscopes and Implications for Fall Risk Assessments
(MDPI, 2015-05-06)Recent studies have reported a greater prevalence of spin turns, which are more unstable than step turns, in older adults compared to young adults in laboratory settings. Currently, turning strategies can only be identified ... -
Mathematical Models of Localized Muscle Fatigue: Sensitivity Analysis and Assessment of Two Occupationally-Relevant Models
(PLOS, 2015-12-14)Muscle fatigue models (MFM) have broad potential application if they can accurately predict muscle capacity and/or endurance time during the execution of diverse tasks. As an initial step toward facilitating improved MFMs, ... -
A Review of Modeling Bioelectrochemical Systems: Engineering and Statistical Aspects
(MDPI, 2016-02-18)Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are promising technologies to convert organic compounds in wastewater to electrical energy through a series of complex physical-chemical, biological and electrochemical processes. Representative ... -
Can a Patient's In-Hospital Length of Stay and Mortality Be Explained by Early-Risk Assessments?
(PLOS, 2016-09-15)Objective To assess whether a patient’s in-hospital length of stay (LOS) and mortality can be explained by early objective and/or physicians’ subjective-risk assessments. Data Sources/Study Setting Analysis of a ... -
A Dynamic Model of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for Military Personnel and Veterans
(PLOS, 2016-10-07)Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) stands out as a major mental illness; however, little is known about effective policies for mitigating the problem. The importance and complexity of PTSD raise critical questions: What ...
