Efficient Estimation of Counterfactual Distributions and Testing Distributional Treatment Effects
(2019-06-28)
This article considers efficient estimation of and inference on counterfactual distributions in a discrete (binary or multivalued) treatment. The counterfactual distributions are estimated by weighted sample averages and ...
Application of Molecular Interactions for Bio-separations and Drug Discovery
(2019-07-25)
Focus on microalgae continues to grow for the production of biomass and various valueadded products including proteins, lipids, and pigments. The bioproducts from microalgae have found their applications not only in the ...
Design of a Novel Biaxial Mechanical Testing System and Protocols for Analysis of Biologic Tissues and Tissue-Engineered Constructs
(2019-07-25)
A new biaxial testing machine that is designed to experimentally investigate soft tissues is presented. The system is able to perform uniaxial, biaxial and simple shear tests as defined in a theoretical framework proposed ...
Temperature and Velocity Measurements in Sub-cooled Boiling through a Vertical Rectangular Test Channel
(2019-07-08)
Temperature and velocity measurements are performed in sub-cooled boiling experiments through a single-heated side rectangular test channel at various conditions. The temperature measurements involve the use of the Laser ...
Fit-for-Purpose Treatment with Iron and Polymeric Coagulant for Produced Water Reuse in Hydraulic Fracturing: Temperature Effects on Aggregation and Sedimentation
(2019-07-15)
Oil and gas well stimulation by hydraulic fracturing necessitates large volumes of water, in turn generating copious amounts of produced water, which is most commonly disposed via deep-well injection. Purifying produced ...
Thermally Chargeable Supercapacitor with Charging and Discharging Cycles for Wearable and IoT Electronics
(2019-06-27)
Thermally chargeable supercapacitors are good candidates for energy harvesting and storage in wearable and internet-of-things (IoT) electronic devices. We report a Thermally chargeable supercapacitor (TCSC) which has good ...
Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering: Biophysical Stimulation and Maturation of Cardiac Rings Recellularized with Human Cardiomyocytes
(2019-07-16)
Cardiovascular diseases that often result in end-stage heart failure continue to disable and take patient lives around the world. In an effort to provide new therapeutic options for patients waiting for a heart transplant, ...
Myeloid Specific Inhibition of Ghs-R Mitigates Experimental Type 2 Diabetes
(2019-07-29)
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction[1]. Macrophages are a major source of inflammatory cytokine IL-1β, which is a major regulator of inflammation in the pancreatic beta-cells ...
Sketch Recognition Based Classification for Eye Movement Biometrics in Virtual Reality
(2019-07-16)
Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer technology that uses computer-generated simulations of a three-dimensional environment that can be interacted with special electronic equipment such as a head-mounted display (HMD). VR ...
Deep Learning-Based Detection of Electricity Theft Cyber Attacks in Solar PV Distributed Generation
(2019-07-09)
In the past, electricity thefts were committed through physical means like tapping a line or bypassing the energy meter. However, the advent of smart meters has added another possible means of committing electricity theft ...
