A qualitative study exploring financial health literacy, medication cost and shared decision-making in patient provider communication
(2025-06-12)Background: Financial health literacy is at the intersection of both financial literacy and health literacy and is key to patients knowing the right questions to ask healthcare providers about medical care costs. Health ... -
Quantifying a Common Inconsistency in RANS-VoF Modeling of Water and Oil Core Annular Flow
(2024-10-04)Current trends in modeling CAF of oil and water combine the interface capturing method- ology of VoF with the computational savings of a RANS approach. As demonstrated mathematically, this results in an inconsistency in ... -
QUANTIFYING CONNECTIVITY: A RECOVERY NETWORK OF AMERICAN MARTENS (MARTES AMERICANA) IN THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION
(2023-12-21)The reintroduction of species back into their former ranges is increasingly occurring in landscapes that differ dramatically from historical conditions. These novel landscapes often feature unknown connectivity, leading ... -
Quantifying Estimation Errors in Robust Vision-Based Control: An Extreme Value Theory Approach
(2025-05-09)Modern autonomous systems—from classical state-estimators to deep learning based visual inertial odometry (VIO)—depend on noisy, high- dimensional sensor data to estimate their state. Quantifying and bound- ing these ... -
QUANTIFYING LEACHABLE PHOSPHORUS FROM COMMON URBAN TREE SPECIES
(2024-08-23)Urban runoff containing high amounts of nutrients like nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) has long been established as a driver of surface water eutrophication. In residential areas, a primary source of nutrients is derived ... -
Rabies vaccine vehicle optimization for orotopical administration to wild vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus)
(2025-12-18)Rabies vaccination of vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) has been proposed as a superior control method to culling but has yet to be implemented. Success of rabies vaccination depends on a topical vehicle that spreads through ... -
RATIONAL ALTERATIONS TO SUBSTRATE SPECIFICITY IN NONRIBOSOMAL PEPTIDE SYNTHETASE ENZYMOLOGY USING CATECHOL SIDEROPHORE BIOSYNTHESIS
(2025-12-29)Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are mega-enzymes that produce structurally diverse natural products with significant applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry. The modularity of NRPSs has enabled efforts ... -
REAL TIME SIMULATION OF A STEAM RANKINE CYCLE FOR CSP OPERATOR TRAINING
(2024-12-18)Concentrating solar power technologies is an evolving electrical power production tech nology that utilize multiple parabolic trough or a heliostat field to collect renewable energy thermally for driving thermodynamic ... -
REAL-TIME SIMULATION OF A PARABOLIC TROUGH SOLAR FIELD
(2024-05-09)Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants are a crucial component of today’s renewable energy technologies. CSP plants offer economies of scale as they increase in size, and they can incorporate thermal energy storage to ... -
Real-Time Welding Tip Condition Classification in Arc Welding Using Acoustic and Electrical Signals with Machine and Deep Learning
(2026-05-06)During the process of arc welding, the welding tip wears out due to the high temperature brought by high current. The degradation and contamination of welding tips will cause lower welding quality, higher energy consumption, ... -
