Rare earth elements and radiogenic strontium isotopes in carbonate minerals reveal diagenetic influence in shales and limestones in the Appalachian Basin
(Elsevier, 2019-03-30)Rare earth element (REE) signatures are often applied to interpret paleoenvironmental conditions in sedimentary basins, however the complicated diagenetic histories in dynamic depositional environments can affect interpretation ... -
Ratings of Everyday Executive Functioning (REEF): A parent-report measure of preschoolers’ executive functioning skills
(APA, 2016-04-07)Executive functioning (EF) facilitates the development of academic, cognitive, and social-emotional skills and deficits in EF are implicated in a broad range of child psychopathologies. Although EF has clear implications ... -
Rationally Designed Nucleobase and Nucleotide Coordinated Nanoparticles for Selective DNA Adsorption and Detection
(American Chemical Society, 2013-12-17)Nanomaterials for DNA adsorption are useful for sequence-specific DNA detection. Current materials for DNA adsorption employ electrostatic attraction, hydrophobic interaction, or π–π stacking, none of which can achieve ... -
Read all about it! Comparing media discourse on energy storage in Canada and the United Kingdom in a transition era
(Elsevier, 2020-12-01)Energy storage (ES), both grid-scale and behind-the-meter, will depend largely upon domestic acceptance of the technology in the public sphere. Recognizing the role that media play in this socio-technical process, we compare ... -
Ready Worker One? High-Res VR for the Home Office
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2023-10-09)Many employees prefer to work from home, yet struggle to squeeze their office into an already fully-utilized space. Virtual Reality (VR) seemingly offered a solution with its ability to transform even modest physical spaces ... -
Real time resistance monitoring during sintering of silver paste
(Elsevier, 2018-01-15)Real time resistance monitoring technology is used to study the silver sintering process. Signals of joint resistance show events such as resistance increase to >10 GΩ, abrupt resistance drop from >10 GΩ to <1 kΩ, ... -
Real-time estimation of the road bank and grade angles with unknown input observers
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-01-24)This paper proposes an approach for the estimation of the road angles independent from the road friction conditions. The method employs unknown input observers on the roll and pitch dynamics of the vehicle. The correlation ... -
Real-time predictive control strategy for a plug-in hybrid electric powertrain
(Elsevier, 2015-08-01)Model predictive control is a promising approach to exploit the potentials of modern concepts and to fulfill the automotive requirements. Since, it is able to handle constrained multi-input multi-output optimal control ... -
Realistic expectations for the treatment of FMGP residuals by chemical oxidants
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)Methods to remediate soil and groundwater contamination at former manufactured gas plant (FMGP) sites are scarce. The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of two chemical oxidants (persulfate and permanganate) ... -
Realizing surface driven flows in the primitive equations
(American Meteorological Society, 2015-05)The surface quasigeostrophic (SQG) model describes flows with surface buoyancy perturbations with no interior quasigeostrophic potential vorticity at small Rossby number Ro and O(1) Burger number, where quasigeostrophic ... -
Recent advances in location analysis
(Elsevier, 2015-10-01)Introduction to a special issue of Computers & Operations Research dedicated to recent advances in location analysis. -
Recent advances on first-principles modeling for the design of materials in CO2 capture technologies
(Elsevier, 2018-11-10)Novel technologies in consideration of industrial sustainability (IS) are in urgent need to satisfy the increasing demands from the society. IS realizes the production of materials and while maintaining environmental and ... -
Recent progress in carbon dioxide (CO2) as feedstock for sustainable materials development: Co-polymers and polymer blends
(Elsevier, 2018-06-06)Combustion of fossil fuels and many other industrial activities inevitably produces carbon dioxide (CO2) that is released into the atmosphere and is currently deemed to be among the major contributors to global warming. ... -
Recent progress in nanomaterial-enhanced fluorescence polarization/anisotropy sensors
(Elsevier, 2019-09)As a promising signaling transduction approach, fluorescence polarization (FP)/fluorescence anisotropy (FA), provides a powerful quantitative tool for the rotational motion of fluorescently labeled molecules in chemical ... -
Recessed deposition of TiN into N-doped carbon as a cathode host for superior Li-S batteries performance
(Elsevier, 2018-12-01)In this work, we put forward a novel cathode host for Li-S batteries by loading titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles into the pores of N-doped carbon as a proof-of-concept. The selection of TiN arises from its strong binding ... -
Recognizing Structural Nonidentifiability: When Experiments Do Not Provide Information About Important Parameters and Misleading Models Can Still Have Great Fit
(Wiley, 2020-02)In the quest to model various phenomena, the foundational importance of parameter identifiability to sound statistical modeling may be less well appreciated than goodness of fit. Identifiability concerns the quality of ... -
Recommender Systems for Personalized Gamification
(ACM, 2017-07-09)Gamification has been used in a variety of application domains to promote behaviour change. Nevertheless, the mechanisms behind it are still not fully understood. Recent empirical results have shown that personalized ... -
