The reduced cost and complexity of these designs has lead to research endeavors attempting to model the flight dynamics of the vehicle with low-order, computationally efficient models. The lowest of these models simply ...

Many algorithms have been proposed to measure prominence of individuals in social networks. However, these algorithms are highly dependent on the underlying mechanisms for judging how individuals gain prominence in a given ...

For Na2O-TiO2-SiO2 glasses, the response to mechanical damage and plastic deformation has been examined through Vickers indentation experiments at loads from 10 mN to 49 N. Fracture toughness was measured through the ...

To populate KBs, researchers have made significant progress in relation extraction from unstructured text corpora. However, it remains very challenging since a relation can be expressed in numerous ways through a sophisticated ...

Mapping and analyzing substructure in the halo of the Milky Way is our primary way of investigating the morphology and composition of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, the Galaxy's accretion history, and ultimately, models ...

A normal mode analysis from the theory of Gustafsson, Kreiss, and Sundstrm (GKS) shows that these schemes are robustly stable against numerical instabilities that are known to arise from overlapping grid interpolation. A ...

In the room acoustics measurement process, a non-diffused sound field is neglected in conventional chamber-based studies of absorbing materials, which reduces accuracy and can even produce inconsistent results. An additional ...

We fit the mass and radial profile of the Orphan-Chenab Stream's (OCS) dwarf galaxy progenitor by using turnoff stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Dark Energy Camera (DEC) to constrain N-body simulations ...

In the first study (Chapter 2), the plasmonic properties of the structures are explored as the different geometrical parameters, namely sidelength, gap size, tip sharpness, and thickness, are tweaked. We demonstrate the ...
