Tracking Demonstration Video of 1:15 PDMS from Mesoscale Testing Device
(2020)Point tracking output from testing video taken using a stereomicroscope at 0.63x magnification of 1:15 PDMS. Yellow lines indicate tracking paths. One red line directly connects the center points of the sample-attached and static element points. The other red line indicates where the sample-attached point would have been without the presence of a ... -
Print and CAD Files for Mesoscale Testing Device
(2020)Folder containing 3D-printable components of mesoscale testing device -
Pixel Selection Demonstration Video of 1:10 PDMS from Mesoscale Testing Device on Fluorescence Microscope
(2020)Testing video taken using a fluorescence microscope at 10x magnification of 1:10 PDMS demonstrating which pixels are selected as belonging to edges to be tracked in yellow. Only every other pixel was checked for the appropriate color to reduce processing time -

Demonstration of Piecewise Cubic Polynomial Fitting on Mesoscale Tester Data
(2020)Animation of piecewise cubic polynomial fitting to data from a replicate of 1:15 PDMS performed in order to obtain stress values at exact increments of strain -
Simple ultraviolet microscope using off-the-shelf components for point-of-care diagnostics.
(2019-02-12)At the primary care setting, where there are often no or minimal laboratories, examinations often consist of self-testing and rapid diagnostics. Because of this, medical devices must be simple, robust, and easy to operate. To address these concerns, an alternate fluorescence microscope design uses ultraviolet (UV) excitation, since fluorescent dyes ... -
Origin and Early Differentiation of Carbon and Associated Life-Essential Volatile Elements on Earth
(2019)This chapter reviews what is known about the fate of carbon during early differentiation of inner solar system planets. It reviews the nature of carbon fractionation in a magma ocean as compared to the core, mantle, and atmosphere, and how this may have varied between planetary bodies in the solar system. It discusses whether magma ocean processes ... -
Simulating Transport and Adsorption of Organic Contaminants in 3D Porous Activated Carbon Block Media
(2019)To evaluate the organic contaminants removal performance of hollow cylindrical block-shaped porous activated carbon media, COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software with Chemical Engineering module was used. The study clearly demonstrates how each organic compound in a steady-state fluid is dynamically transported in the three-dimensional porous media ... -
Rescoping research through student-librarian collaboration: Lessons from the Fondren Fellows program
(2018)Academic library professionals increasingly see student workers as full coparticipants in the design and delivery of library resources and services. For some librarians, this perspective grows out of a commitment to critical and feminist pedagogy,1 while for others, greater reliance on student workers in the face of flat or contracting budgets has ... -

jsut that way
(2012-09-26)Andy Coolquitt makes objects and environments that exist in symbiosis with human relationships. During the 1990s, his life and work revolved around an expansive studio/artist commune/performance space/living sculpture/party place on the east side of Austin, Texas, where he continues to live, work, and host events. Intrigued by social contracts, ... -
Conflict of Employee–Employer Interest: Introducing an Optimal Work Happiness Framework
(2012)This qualitative study seeks to explore the pursuit and achievement of work happiness for employees. Conflicting interests between organizations (i.e., employers) and employees provide insights into the difficulties employees face in their quest for work happiness. Assumptions are visited concerning constraints on achieving work happiness due to ... -

Cooperative Partial Detection for MIMO Relay Networks
(2011)Cooperative communication has recently re-emerged as a possible paradigm shift to realize the promises of the ever increasing wireless communication market; how- ever, there have been few, if any, studies to translate theoretical results into feasi- ble schemes with their particular practical challenges. The multiple-input multiple- output (MIMO) ... -
Learning the Structure of High-Dimensional Manifolds with Self-Organizing Maps for Accurate Information Extraction
(2011)This work aims to improve the capability of accurate information extraction from high-dimensional data, with a specific neural learning paradigm, the Self-Organizing Map (SOM). The SOM is an unsupervised learning algorithm that can faithfully sense the manifold structure and support supervised learning of relevant information from the data. Yet open ...
