Reducing Interfacial Resistance in Garnet-Structured Solid-State Lithium-Ion Batteries
Li, Xinjie ( 2020-05 )While the development of conventional lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries has reached mature stage, a number of battery researchers are already looking forward to replace the liquid electrolytes in conventional lithium-ion ... -
Reduction of Startup Emissions for an Alternative Fueled Engine
Ward, Jason ( 2013-05 )The reduction of emission gasses being released into the atmosphere remains an important research area in the automotive industry. In hybrid vehicle applications such as EcoCAR, engine stop/start can saturate the oxygen ... -
Regional Dynamic Viscoelastic Properties of Porcine Sclera
Artz, Jared ( 2016-05 )The biomechanical properties of the posterior sclera are thought to be important in glaucoma susceptibility. Assessment of the posterior sclera biomechanics is currently unavailable in vivo but methods are being developed ... -
A Reinforcement Learning Framework for Autonomous Eco-Driving
Pi, Jianzong ( 2020-05 )Eco-driving involves adaptively changing the speed of the vehicle to ensure minimal fuel consumption. We pose this problem within the framework of Markov decision problem with discounted reward. The key difficulty lies in ... -
Relationships Between Simple Gait Parameters of Healthy Adults and Pre- and Post-Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients
Delventhal, Brooke ( 2018-12 )The way that people walk can change as a function of age and the progression of disease. Previous research has shown that older people tend to walk with a slower speed, exert more control at the hip joint, and exhibit ... -
Release Mechanism of Available Phosphorus from Sediments in Grand Lake St. Marys
Xiao, Yilong ( 2014-05 )Grand Lake St. Marys (GLSM) is Ohio’s largest inland lake and the public drinking water supply for the City of Celina with over 10,000 in population. The 2007 National Lake Assessment (NLA) has discovered extreme levels ... -
RELEASE OF MERCURY DURING LEACHING OF FLY ASH
Regennitter, Ellen ( 2007-06 )Fly ash created in the generation of energy contains mercury. Currently, the most accepted use for fly ash is as an inexpensive alternative to Portland cement in concrete mixtures. Because of new mercury-air standards, ... -
Remote Debugging of Embedded Systems
Zhao, Xiaoxi ( 2013-05 )Microcontrollers (MCUs) conventionally are programmed by connecting the MCU to a debugger then to the computer where a graphical user interface (IDE) is installed. The necessity of wired connection limits the easiness in ... -
Remotely Operated Reflectometer
Nagy, Jonathan ( 2013-12 )In the field of electromagnetics, one of the most fundamental parameters that describe a system is the reflection coefficient. This is the ratio of the reflected fields to the incident field and is inherently a complex ... -
Repair and Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints
Salisbury, Seth ( 2010-06 )This research study investigates a method for strengthening broken or cracked reinforced concrete beam-column joints. These specimens were previously tested by Fisher (2009). The restoration method used for this study ... -
Repair and Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams
Zhang, Yunlan ( 2012-12 )Repair and strengthening of damaged or vulnerable reinforced concrete structures is important in order to guarantee the safety of residents or users. Beams are important structural elements for withstanding loads, so ... -
Replicability of Classification Procedures for Gene Expression Data
Gupta, Dinank ( 2017-05 )Pattern classification is a branch of statistics and machine learning that uses labeled samples to predict information about unlabeled ones. A common application of this theory in medicine is to classify cancer patients ... -
The Representation and Analysis of Dynamic Networks
Griscom, Michael ( 2013-05 )Many real-world phenomena, such as article citations and social interactions, can be viewed in terms of a set of entities connected by relationships. Utilizing this abstraction, the system can be represented as a network. ... -
Representation of Crystallographic Texture using the Symmetric Bingham Distribution
Magnuson, Eric ( 2016-08 )Crystalline materials often exhibit a strong anisotropy, or directionally dependent response, with respect to their properties. Most structural materials are polycrystalline, composed of many microscopic crystalline regions ... -
REPRESENTATION OF RYHTHMIC MOVEMENTS CONSTRUCTED USING A 3D MODEL SIMULATION
Wright, Charelle ( 2007-03 )The purpose of this project is to emulate with a human model representation of how the body reacts, with synchronous movements, to interpreted music. With this project I plan to gain a general understanding of the brains ... -
Research on Arsenic Leaching from Coal Fly Ash under Different Environmental Conditions
Zhong, Youjia ( 2014-12 )In order to study the leaching behavior of arsenic from fly ash under different field conditions, this research used LEAF method 1313, 1314 and 1315 to test for the solid-liquid partitioning of arsenic under a range of ... -
Resonance Control of a Weakly Resonating Supersonic Cavity Using Plasma Actuators
Omari, Dennis ( 2016-05 )Scramjets can provide efficient propulsion for aircraft flying at speeds greater than Mach 5. However, they are susceptible to engine unstart. Typically, thermal choking in the combustor is the cause of engine unstart. ... -
Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete Columns
Gaitan, James ( 2017-05 )Many reinforced concrete structures are deficient in stiffness, ductility, and strength capacity compared to current standards. When a powerful event, such as an earthquake, occurs, un-strengthened and inadequate concrete ... -
