Efficient and Flexible Aggregation and Distribution of MODIS Atmospheric Products Based on Climate Analytics as a Service Framework
(MDPI, 2021-09-06)MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument onboard NASA’s Terra (launched in 1999) and Aqua (launched in 2002) satellite missions as part of the more extensive Earth Observation System (EOS). ... -
A Modified Minibatch Sampling Method for Parameter Estimation in Hidden Markov Models using Stochastic Variational Bayes
(Wiley, 2021-12-14)Parameter estimation using stochastic variatonal Bayes (SVB) under a mean field assumption can be carried out by sampling a single data point at each iteration of the optimization algorithm. However, when latent variables ... -
Using Deep Learning to Enhance Compton Camera Based Prompt Gamma Image Reconstruction Data for Proton Radiotherapy
(Wiley, 2021-12-14)Proton beam radiotherapy is a cancer treatment method that uses proton beams to irradiate cancerous tissue while simultaneously sparing doses to healthy tissue. In order to optimize radiational doses to the tumor and ensure ... -
A Study of The Clinical Viability of A Prototype Compton Camera for Prompt Gamma Imaging Based Proton Beam Range Verification
(AAPM, 2021-06-25)We present Compton camera (CC) based PG imaging for proton range verification at clinical dose rates. PG emission from a tissue-equivalent phantom during irradiation with clinical proton beams was measured with a prototype ... -
Comparing global and local maps of the Caribbean pine forests of Andros, home of the critically endangered Bahama Oriole
(Springer, 2021-11-17)Forest loss is occurring at alarming rates across the globe. The pine rockland forests of Andros, The Bahamas, likely represent some of the largest stands of Bahamian subspecies of Caribbean pine in the world. Given the ... -
Storytelling for social justice and engagement: a materials science class
(ACS, 2021-09-08)The biographical stories of scientists and engineers, particularly those from historically excluded groups, have been integrated into the curriculum for a materials science course. The goal is to help students connect and ... -
Engineering PEGylated polyester nanoparticles to reduce complement-mediated infusion reaction
(ACS, 2021-09-09)Translation of intravenously administered nanomaterials to the clinic is limited due to adverse infusion reactions. While these reactions are infrequent, with up to 10% prone to experiencing infusion reactions, the reactions ... -
Motivation to learn by age, education, and literacy skills among working‑age adults in the United States
(Springer, 2022-03-07)This study highlighted how particular intersections of personal characteristics were related to Motivation to Learn (MtL) among adults. MtL is a prerequisite for adult education and training participation. However, little ... -
A System with Two Spare Units, Two Repair Facilities, and Two Types of Repairers
(MDPI, 2022-03-08)Assuming exponential lifetime and repair time distributions, we study the limiting availability A∞ as well as the per unit time-limiting profit ω of a one-unit system having two identical, cold standby spare units using ... -
A fusion of the Bacteroides fragilis ferrous iron import proteins reveals a role for FeoA in stabilizing GTP-bound FeoB
(Elsevier, 2022-03-08)Iron is an essential element for nearly all organisms, and under anoxic and/or reducing conditions, Fe²⁺ is the dominant form of iron available to bacteria. The ferrous iron transport (Feo) system is the primary prokaryotic ... -
Genomic Sequence and Characteristics of EmiRose, a Bacteriophage Isolated on Corynebacterium flavescens
(ASM, 2022-03-02)Bacteriophage EmiRose is a siphovirus infecting Corynebacterium flavescens. The EmiRose genome is 37,431 bp long and composed of 47 protein-coding genes. Based on gene content similarity, EmiRose is not closely related to ... -
Female song is structurally different from male song in Orchard Orioles, a temperate-breeding songbird with delayed plumage maturation
(Journal of Field Ornithology, 2022)Female birds in many temperate species are thought to sing reduced or quieter songs and appear to sing less often than their male counterparts. Therefore, female song may be easily overlooked. Increasingly, researchers are ... -
Detecting Laser Fault Injection Attacks via Time-to-Digital Converter Sensors
