Fast Implementation Algorithm for Multivariable Algebraic Loops
(2015)An important class of nonlinear control systems can be represented as the feedback interconnection of two parts: a linear time-invariant system and a block of decentralized nonlinearities. When the linear time-invariant ... -
Fast iterative solver for embedded model predictive control
(2021)We worked on an iterative first-order gradient method designed for the efficient implementation of Model Predictive Control (MPC). We also developed a new algorithm intended to simulate the performance of the proportional-integral ... -
Fathers' Involvement in Education, Learning, and Development for Children with CHARGE Syndrome
(2020)Parent involvement in their children’s education is an essential element for their success, especially for families with CHARGE syndrome (Olivos, Gallagher, & Aguilar, 2010). Research on parent school involvement has ... -
Field programmable gate array (FPGA) for embedded optimal control
(2017)Embedded control for resource-constrained, safety-critical and cyber-physical systems has recently received much interest from the engineering community. This work focuses on fast implementation of embedded control algorithms ... -
Finite element analysis of femoral neck strength losses due to space irradiation
(2017)Spaceflight leaves astronauts at risk for negative consequences to bone health. Sending a manned mission to Mars is a long term goal of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Because this trip will take ... -
Fitness and feather quality in White-throated sparrows
(2015)During the project we are seeking to answer the question: Which aspects of body feather structure show meaningful variation? -
Five-digit assistive exoskeleton for the human hand
(2017)The purpose of this project was to optimize an existing design of a five-fingered powered orthotic exoskeleton hand that augments griping and pinching. The flexibility of the wrist and finger structures were improved, and ... -
Force augmenting five-digit exoskeleton for the human hand
(2018)Almost 1 million Americans suffer from debilitative disorders or injuries to the hand, which result in decreased grip strength and/or impaired ability to hold objects. The objective of this study was to design and test the ... -
Formation of lipid-nucleic acid complexes
(2021)Emiliania huxleyi is an abundant unicellular marine alga and an essential part of the food web. E. huxleyi removes carbon dioxide from the oceans and atmosphere by two processes: photosynthesis and the production of a ... -
Future of machine diagnostics in smart manufacturing environments: a study of deep neural networks transfer learning for fault diagnosis applications
(2021)Intelligent fault diagnostics involves instrumenting machinery with sensors, and interpreting data to predict faults. We applied deep learning algorithms, called Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs), to analyze raw ... -
The future of machine diagnostics in smart manufacturing environments: design of an intelligent fault simulator apparatus
(2021)Intelligent fault diagnosis requires an understanding of the dynamic behavior of mechanical components, especially within rotating machinery, as well as the ability to accurately generate controlled data. This study ... -
Gender on Trial: Women Plaintiffs, Lawyers, and Judges in State Civil Trials
(2019)With the research questions, 1) How do juries respond to female litigants? 2) Does having a woman attorney help or hurt women litigants? 3) Do men and women participate in different types of lawsuits? 4) Are gender effects ... -
Gene expression and growth analysis of CYP72A enzymes in corn and Arabidopsis
(2021)In response to various environmental stresses, several plant species have developed an arsenal of defense strategies to combat abiotic stresses. Cytochrome P450s (CYPs) are one of the largest enzyme families that have been ... -
Gene Expression and the Response of Crabs to Salinity Change
(2015)We have previously demonstrated that hemolymph levels of methyl famesomate (MF) in the green crab Carcinus maenus increase in response to hypo-osmotic stress (Lovett et al., 2001,2006). The present study measured changes ... -
German Vocabulary Acquisition: the Impact of Goal Orientations on Lag Effects
(2020)Our study examined the impact of goal orientation and spacing on language acquisition. Participants completed a goal orientation measure and a German vocabulary acquisition task, where words were presented in either spaced ... -
Getting to the Core of Service: Connecting the Common Core State Standards for Literacy in the Content Areas with Service Learning
(2014)This research seeks to draw connections between service learning and the Common Core State Standards for Literacy (CCSS). Researchers surveyed 182 secondary teachers in New Jersey regarding their current use of service ... -
Global America in the twentieth century
(2016)Global America in the Twentieth Century, written by Alan Dawley, Christopher Fisher, and Robert McGreevey, examines the history of the United States from the late 19th century to the present in a global context. To be ... -
Global School-Based Interventions For the Prevention of Childhood Obesity
(2015)Researched and analyzed global school based interventions to determine the most effective program for combating childhood obesity. -
Growing Green Thinkers: Young Children's Concepts of Environmental Sustainability
(2015)This study examined young children’s views on nature, environment and trees as habitats through focus group interviews and student drawings. The research team first held a 10-20 minute focus group discussion with the ...
