Digital Phenotyping in Cotton Breeding Using Growth Rate Modeling Based on Visible Light Data Collected with Unmanned Aerial Systems
(2023-05-02)
The need to improve cotton to the benefit of humanity has been the driving factor in scientific cotton breeding for nearly 150 years. The act of cotton breeding itself is not a novel enterprise. What is novel, however, are ...
Post-Disaster Damage Assessment with Artificial Intelligence and Uncertainty Quantification
(2023-03-23)
Climate disasters have severely impacted our built environment, infrastructure, and way of life, causing significant economic and fatal losses. In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, preliminary damage assessment (PDA) ...
Process Optimization Strategies for Achieving Microstructural Control and Enhanced Mechanical Performance in Advanced High Strength Steels
(2023-05-01)
Strategies were developed for processing advanced high strength steels (AHSSs) via severe plastic deformation (equal channel angular pressing, ECAP) and additive manufacturing (directed energy deposition, DED) techniques, ...

Particle Deposition Model for a Fully Developed Turbulent Channel Flow
(2023-05-03)
“Plate-out" refers to the deposition or buildup of solid material on a surface, which can have consequences such as increasing the risk of criticality or corrosion and the efficiency of equipment and systems. Current ...
Analysis of Salt Management Effects on the Molten Salt Research Reactor’s Operational Characteristics
(2023-04-05)
Due to the growing interest in advanced reactors such as molten salt reactors (MSRs), it is important to better understand some of their advantages. For example, a significant potential advantage of MSRs is their ability ...
Unsupervised Learning-Based Analysis of Hydraulic Fracturing-Induced Seismicity
(2023-04-04)
Passive seismicity is crucial for optimizing hydraulic fracture treatments and reducing the risk of hydraulic fracturing-induced seismicity. Unsupervised machine learning is suitable for understanding fracturing-induced ...
The Experiences of Latinx STEM Doctoral Students with White Faculty STEM Mentors at Predominantly White Institutions
(2023-03-23)
Latinx students in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines often seek mentorship from STEM faculty who share the same racial or ethnic identity as they do because these individuals epitomize ...
