Atterburg Limits
(2014-02-06)
Atterberg Limits describe the water contents at which clays change behavior. The water content indicating the division between the liquid and plastic state is the liquid limit. The Liquid Limit is determined using a brass ...
AU Smart Cart Senior Design Project Report Fall 2012
(2017-10-26)
Team 3 consists of six members working together to design and build a fully autonomous shopping cart. The purpose of the cart is to perform as a personal shopping assistant to the user as he/she shops in different environments. ...
Automatically identifying, counting, and describing wild animals in camera-trap images with deep learning
(2020-07-27)
Having accurate, detailed, and up-to-date information about the location and behavior of animals in the wild would improve our ability to study and conserve ecosystems. We investigate the ability to automatically, accurately, ...
A Bayesian Approach to Detect the Firms with Material Weakness in Internal Control
(2019-08-01)
Capturing of relevant patterns in company’s financial data and the implications on the reporting are important for
various financial statement users to identify the triggers of the significant deficiencies and material ...
Bearing Capacity
(2014-02-06)
The pressure that a foundation unit can impose onto the supporting earth mass without causing overstressing (or shear failure) is the soil's bearing capacity. The three principal modes of soil failure established by the ...
Categorizing Sedimentary Rocks by Origin
(2014-02-06)
Using examples, this video tells students what to look for in order to identify rocks.
Characterization of Plenoptic Imaging Systems and Efficient Volumetric Estimation from Plenoptic Data
(2015-01-13)
Plenoptic imaging is a rapidly growing field driven
by the ever-declining cost of imaging systems and the promise
of image focus, perspective, and depth of field manipulation
during post-processing. While plenoptic ...
Data for: Comparison of two dielectric sensors in coarse-grained soils of increasing salinity
(2023-07-12)
Moisture content can impact the resilient modulus of pavement base course and subgrade layers. Given its influence on the post-inundation resilient moduli of the coastal pavement and base course and subgrade layers, it is ...
Discrimination experiments with the U.S. Army's standard metal detector
(2022-10-25)
[1] Discrimination experiments with the U. S. Army's standard hand-held metal detector (AN/PSS-12) are described. An appendix describes the functioning of the device as a metal detector, and the body of the paper discusses ...
An efficient auxiliary variable method for quantification of spin density, R2* decay and field inhomogeneity maps in magnetic resonance imaging
(2015-04-07)
Quantification of spin density, $R_2^*$ decay and off-resonance frequency maps is very important in some applications of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To reconstruct these parameter maps, a time-varying model such as ...
The electrostatic characterization of an n-element planar array using the singularity expansion method
(2022-09-28)
In this paper, the singularity expansion method (SEM) is used to describe the electrostatic charge distribution on an array of thin linear antennas placed in a uniform electric field. The SEM, which has primarily been used ...
Estimating the Center of Rotation of Tomographic Imaging Systems with Limited Projections
(2021-04-02)
For a tomographic imaging system, image reconstruction quality is highly correlated with accurate determination of the true center of rotation (COR) location. A significant center offset error will introduce ringing, ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of saltwater intrusion dynamics in flux-controlled groundwater systems
(2020-08-20)
Sea level rise and reduction of groundwater fluxes due to changes in rainfall patterns are the two major climate change–induced hydrological variables that can severely affect saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. In ...
Field‐based robotic phenotyping of sorghum plant architecture using stereo vision
(2020-02-24)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is known as a major feedstock for biofuel production. To improve its biomass yield through genetic research, manually measuring yield component traits (e.g. plant height, stem diameter, leaf angle, ...
Forest restoration as a strategy to mitigate climate impacts on wildfire, vegetation, and water in semiarid forests
(2020-05-18)
Climate change and wildfire are interacting to drive vegetation change and potentially reduce water quantity and quality in the southwestern United States, Forest restoration is a management approach that could mitigate ...
Formation, Fate, and Impacts of Microscopic and Macroscopic Oil-Sediment Residues in Nearshore Marine Environments: A Critical Review
(2022-10-11)
Crude oil that is spilled in marine environments often interacts with suspended sediments to form residues that can impact the recovery of the affected nearshore ecosystems. When spilled oil and sediment interact, they can ...
LaTeX seminar

No Change in the Recent Lunar Impact Flux Required Based on Modeling of Impact Glass Spherule Age Distributions
(2020-05-27)
The distributions of Ar-40/Ar-39-derived ages of impact glass spherules in lunar regolith samples show an excess at <500 Ma relative to older ages. It has not been well understood whether this excess of young ages reflects ...
Noble gas abundance and isotope ratios in the atmosphere of Jupiter from the Galileo Probe Mass Spectrometer
(2020-06-30)
The Galileo Probe Mass Spectrometer provided the first data on the noble gas mixing and isotope ratios in the Jovian atmosphere. These measurements and the comparison with solar values constrain models of Jupiter's formation. ...
