3D Printing Soft Electronics
(2018)The University of Houston received NSF funding to hold an REU researching Neurotechnologies to help the body move, heal, and feel again. Of specific importance is developing brain machine interfaces that optimize both ... -
5 A’s Intervention to Increase Smoking Cessation in Primary Care
(2019-04-12)Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in US adults. Healthcare providers have frequent contacts with their patients yearly in primary care clinics and are well positioned to identify patients who smoke ... -
A Black Death: Can Relic Oysters Be Used in Restoration Efforts?
(2018)The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, plays an important role in estuarine ecosystems, but populations have been decimated compared to historic levels. Large storm events, including hurricanes, periodically eliminate ... -
A brief measure of peer affiliation and social acceptance (PASA): Validity in an ethnically diverse sample of early adolescents
(Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 3/10/2014)Objective Conduct a multiagent–multimethod analysis of the validity of a brief measure of deviant peer affiliations and social acceptance (PASA) in young adolescents. Peer relationships are critical to child and adolescent ... -
A Case for Competencies: Assessing the Value of Trait-Based Performance Appraisal for Non-Faculty University Employees
(Educational Policy Analysis Archives, 5/11/2016)A case study analyzed how supervisors at one university selected competencies, or trait-based skills, for non-faculty employees. This case study provides a valuable contribution by focusing on employees at one institution ... -
A Comparison of Self Reported Physical Activity and ActiGraph Recorded Physical Activity Amongst Young Adults
(2017)Introduction. A quick, inexpensive, and noninvasive method to assess the physical activity (PA) level of an individual is to use a questionnaire in which a subject recalls their usual weekly activity. The information from ... -
A Cooperative Bayesian Nonparametric Framework for Primary User Activity Monitoring in Cognitive Radio Networks
(IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, 2/2/2012)This paper introduces a novel approach that enables a number of cognitive radio devices that are observing the availability pattern of a number of primary users (PUs), to cooperate and use Bayesian nonparametric techniques ... -
A Culturally-Tailored Smoking Cessation Intervention for Latinos
(2018)Leading causes of death among Latinos in the U.S include cancer (of which, lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer death), heart disease, unintentional injuries, and stroke. Three of these four causes have a ... -
A Field Study of the Antecedents and Performance Consequences of Perceived Accountability
(Journal of Management, 9/1/2014)Building on theoretical and empirical work considering the implications of accountability on individual behavior, the authors explored the antecedents and consequences of individual perceptions of accountability for job ... -
A fully resolved numerical simulation of turbulent flow past one or several spherical particles
(The Physics of Fluids, 1/31/2012)The flow past one or nine spheres arranged in a plane lattice held fixed in a stream of decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence is studied by means of fully resolved Navier-Stokes simulations. The particle radius is 3–5 ... -
A Game-Theoretic Approach to Energy Trading in the Smart Grid
(IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 4/15/2014)Electric storage units constitute a key element in the emerging smart grid system. In this paper, the interactions and energy trading decisions of a number of geographically distributed storage units are studied using a ... -
A general derivation of the subharmonic threshold for non-linear bubble oscillations
(The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 6/5/2013)The paper describes an approximate but rather general derivation of the acoustic threshold for a subharmonic component to be possible in the sound scattered by an insonified gas bubble. The general result is illustrated ... -
A Generalization of the Rayleigh-Plesset Equation of Bubble Dynamics
(The Physics of Fluids, 1982-03)The classical Rayleigh?Plesset equation of spherical bubble dynamics in an incompressible liquid is generalized to include the non?Newtonian behavior of the liquid and mass exchange processes at the bubble interface.
