Reconstructing signaling pathways using regular language constrained paths
(2019-07-15)Motivation High-quality curation of the proteins and interactions in signaling pathways is slow and painstaking. As a result, many experimentally detected interactions are not annotated to any pathways. A natural question ... -
Lead release to potable water during the Flint, Michigan water crisis as revealed by routine biosolids monitoring data
(2019-09-01)Routine biosolids monitoring data provides an independent and comprehensive means to estimate water lead release pre-, during and post-Flint Water Crisis (FWC). The mass of potable plumbing-related metals ( i.e., lead, ... -
Environmental Persistence of Influenza Viruses Is Dependent upon Virus Type and Host Origin
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019-08-21)Highly transmissible influenza viruses (IV) must remain stable and infectious under a wide range of environmental conditions following release from the respiratory tract into the air. Understanding how expelled IV persist ... -
Stretchable sensors for environmental monitoring
(2019-03)The development of flexible and stretchable sensors has been receiving increasing attention in recent years. In particular, stretchable, skin-like, wearable sensors are desirable for a variety of potential applications ... -
Higher Education Student Body Diversification as Glocal Practice
(2012-07)Georg Simmel's assertion that strangeness organizes nearness and remoteness helps to understand how the social category of First Generation College Student (FGCS, first in the family to attend college) is used at a public ... -
Natural, incidental, and engineered nanomaterials and their impacts on the Earth system
(2019-03-29)Nanomaterials are critical components in the Earth system's past, present, and future characteristics and behavior. They have been present since Earth's origin in great abundance. Life, from the earliest cells to modern ... -
Cognitive barriers during monitoring-based commissioning of buildings
(2019-04)Monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx) is a continuous building energy management process used to optimize energy performance in buildings. Although monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx) can reduce energy waste by up to ... -
The Role of Disjoining Pressure and Thermal Activation in the Invasion of Droplets into Nanopores
(2019-03-21)Multiphase transport at a nanoscale level plays a key role in applications including drying of nanoporous materials and gas/oil recovery from low permeability rocks. A frequently encountered scenario in multiphase transport ... -
Repetitive Head Impact Exposure in College Football Following an NCAA Rule Change to Eliminate Two-A-Day Preseason Practices: A Study from the NCAA-DoD CARE Consortium
(Biomedical Engineering Society, 2019-08-06)Repetitive head impact exposure sustained by athletes of contact sports has been hypothesized to be a mechanism for concussion and a possible explanation for the high degree of variability in sport-related concussion ... -
COSTA: Composite Trust-Based Asset-Task Assignment in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(IEEE, 2019)In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), asset-task assignment problems have been explored with vastly different approaches. Considering the unique characteristics of MANET environments, such as no centralized trusted entity, ... -
Joint Security and QoS Provisioning in Train-Centric CBTC Systems Under Sybil Attacks
(IEEE, 2019)The security and Quality-of-Service (QoS) provisioning are two critical themes in urban rail communication-based train control (CBTC) data communication systems, which can directly affect the train's safe operation. In ... -
Electromagnetic Signal Classification Based on Deep Sparse Capsule Networks
(IEEE, 2019)In complex electromagnetic environments, electromagnetic signal classification rates are low as long time have to be the cost to extract features. To cope with the issue, in this paper, an electromagnetic signal classification ... -
Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control With Adaptive Kalman Filter Subject to Temporary Communication Loss
(IEEE, 2019)Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) communicates the relevant preceding vehicle state data to the follower (ego) vehicle to improve the vehicle following capabilities. In general, the CACC utilizes the preceding ... -
The Mobile Base Station Strategy for Wireless Networks With Successive Interference Cancellation
(IEEE, 2019)Successive interference cancellation (SIC) and mobile base stations (MBSs) have been separately exploited to effectively collect data in wireless networks. This paper aims to jointly optimize SIC and MBSs movement to ... -
An Open Source Modeling Framework for Interdependent Energy-Transportation-Communication Infrastructure in Smart and Connected Communities
(IEEE, 2019)Infrastructure in future smart and connected communities is envisioned as an aggregate of public services, including energy, transportation, and communication systems, all intertwined with each other. The intrinsic ... -
A Stochastic Optimization Approach for Spectrum Sharing of Radar and LTE Systems
(IEEE, 2019)This paper proposes a chance-constrained stochastic optimization technique that enables effective coexistence between LTE-Unlicensed base stations and radars in a shared spectrum. The optimization problem is formulated to ... -
Carrier Frequency Estimation of Time-Frequency Overlapped MASK Signals for Underlay Cognitive Radio Network
(IEEE, 2019)As the single-signal carrier frequency estimation method is unsuitable for the time-frequency overlapped signals in an underlay cognitive radio network (CRN), in this paper, we propose a novel carrier frequency estimation ... -
IEEE 802.11bd & 5G NR V2X: Evolution of Radio Access Technologies for V2X Communications
(IEEE, 2019)With the rising interest in autonomous vehicles, developing radio access technologies (RATs) that enable reliable and low-latency vehicular communications has become of paramount importance. Dedicated short-range communications ... -
Self-Stabilizing Transpiration in Synthetic Leaves
(2019-04-10)Over the past decade, synthetic trees have been engineered to mimic the transpiration cycle of natural plants, but the leaves are prone to dry out beneath a critical relative humidity. Here, we create large-area synthetic ...
