In this dissertation, a new three-dimensional bone ultrastructure finite element model is constructed to investigate the formation of dilatational bands at the nanoscale. The stochastic organization of bone mineral phase ...

A model was developed to describe the evaporation of the nanofluid pendant drops based on D-square law analysis for the gas domain and a description of the reduction in liquid fraction available for evaporation due to ...

Separately, we also demonstrate the role of extreme temperature gradients (108-1010 K/m) in elevating the boiling point of liquids. We show that, assuming local thermal equilibrium, the observed elevation of the boiling ...

Co-Ni-Al is the primary model system selected for experimental studies. In nanoindentation tests using a Berkovich tip (~150 nm radius), enhanced strain recovery, superelastic recovery, and hardness are observed in austenite ...

The primary purpose of this dissertation is to develop a hybrid methodology for textual studies of videogames. At its core is a reconceptualization of gameplay, a term with industry origins that refers to players’ engagements ...

As a branch of natural language processing (NLP), natural language understanding (NLU) involves transforming natural language into a structured, machine-readable format. Typical target formats vary depending on the domain ...

In order to better understand the human being relationship with the non-human, human practices must be placed under a critical lens. In the age of the information era it is important to redefine this relationship as we are ...
