On The Mathematical Modeling Of Slender Biomedical Continuum Robots, Hunter B. Gilbert
On The Mathematical Modeling Of Slender Biomedical Continuum Robots, Hunter B. Gilbert
Faculty Publications
The passive, mechanical adaptation of slender, deformable robots to their environment, whether the robot be made of hard materials or soft ones, makes them desirable as tools for medical procedures. Their reduced physical compliance can provide a form of embodied intelligence that allows the natural dynamics of interaction between the robot and its environment to guide the evolution of the combined robot-environment system. To design these systems, the problems of analysis, design optimization, control, and motion planning remain of great importance because, in general, the advantages afforded by increased mechanical compliance must be balanced against penalties such as slower dynamics, …

Robustness Analysis Framework For Computations Associated With Building Performance Models And Immersive Virtual Experiments, Chanachok Chokwitthaya, Yimin Zhu, Supratik Mukhopadhyay
Robustness Analysis Framework For Computations Associated With Building Performance Models And Immersive Virtual Experiments, Chanachok Chokwitthaya, Yimin Zhu, Supratik Mukhopadhyay
Faculty Publications
Building performance models (BPMs) have been used to simulate and analyze building performance during design. While extensive research efforts have made to improve the performance of BPMs, little attention has given to their robustness. Uncertainty is a crucial factor affecting the robustness of BPMs, in which such effect needs to be quantified through a suitable approach. The paper offers a robustness analysis framework for BPMs by using perturbation techniques to simulate uncertainty in input datasets. To investigate the efficacy of the framework, a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based framework was selected as a case study to analyze light switch usages in …

Maternal malnutrition gives rise to both short- and long-term consequences for the survival and health of the offspring. As the intermediary between mother and fetus, the placenta has the potential to interpret environmental signals, such as nutrient availability, and adapt to support fetal growth and development. While this potential is present, it is clear that at times placental adaptation fails to occur resulting in poor pregnancy outcomes. This review will focus on placental responses to maternal undernutrition related to changes in placental vascularization and hemodynamics and placental nutrient transport systems across species. While much of the available literature describes placental …
Stability Analysis Using Generalized Sup-Delay Inequalities, Frederic Mazenc, Michael Malisoff, Miroslav Krstic
Stability Analysis Using Generalized Sup-Delay Inequalities, Frederic Mazenc, Michael Malisoff, Miroslav Krstic
Faculty Publications
We provide a new generalization of a recent trajectory-based approach for proving global asymptotic stability properties, using new sup-delay inequalities. Our generalization eliminates the usual contractivity requirement from previous sup-delay inequality approaches. We show how the requirements of our generalization hold under less restrictive Halanay's conditions than those that were previously reported. While the usual Halanay's inequality requires the decay rate to exceed the gain, our less restrictive conditions allow the gain to exceed the decay rate. We apply our work to systems with switching delays and to a continuous-discrete system.

Clinical Research Faculty Publications
Background: Sustained calorie restriction (CR) promises to extend the lifespan. The effect of CR on changes in body mass across tissues and organs is unclear. Objectives: We used whole-body MRI to evaluate the effect of 2 y of CR on changes in body composition. Methods: In an ancillary study of the Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE) trial, 43 healthy adults [25-50 y; BMI (kg/m2): 22-28] randomly assigned to 25% CR (n = 28) or ad libitum (AL) eating (n = 15) underwent whole-body MRI at baseline and month 24 to measure adipose tissue in …

Analysis Of A New Multispecies Tumor Growth Model Coupling 3d Phase-Fields With A 1d Vascular Network, Marvin Fritz, Prashant K. Jha, Tobias Köppl, J. Tinsley Oden, Barbara Wohlmuth
Faculty Publications
In this work, we present and analyze a mathematical model for tumor growth incorporating ECM erosion, interstitial flow, and the effect of vascular flow and nutrient transport. The model is of phase-field or diffused-interface type in which multiple phases of cell species and other constituents are separated by smooth evolving interfaces. The model involves a mesoscale version of Darcy's law to capture the flow mechanism in the tissue matrix. Modeling flow and transport processes in the vasculature supplying the healthy and cancerous tissue, one-dimensional (1D) equations are considered. Since the models governing the transport and flow processes are defined together …

Faculty Publications
In this work, we present a coupled 3D–1D model of solid tumor growth within a dynamically changing vascular network to facilitate realistic simulations of angiogenesis. Additionally, the model includes erosion of the extracellular matrix, interstitial flow, and coupled flow in blood vessels and tissue. We employ continuum mixture theory with stochastic Cahn–Hilliard type phase-field models of tumor growth. The interstitial flow is governed by a mesoscale version of Darcy's law. The flow in the blood vessels is controlled by Poiseuille flow, and Starling's law is applied to model the mass transfer in and out of blood vessels. The evolution of …
A Polynomial Roth Theorem For Corners In Finite Fields, Rui Han, Michael T. Lacey, Fan Yang
A Polynomial Roth Theorem For Corners In Finite Fields, Rui Han, Michael T. Lacey, Fan Yang
Faculty Publications
We prove a Roth-type theorem for polynomial corners in the finite field setting. Let ϕ1 and ϕ2 be two polynomials of distinct degree. For sufficiently large primes p, any subset (Formula presented.) with (Formula presented.) contains three points (Formula presented.). The study of these questions on (Formula presented.) was started by Bourgain and Chang. Our Theorem adapts the argument of Dong, Li, and Sawin, in particular relying upon deep Weil-type inequalities established by N. Katz.
The Inverse Problem For A Spectral Asymmetry Function Of The Schrödinger Operator On A Finite Interval, B. Malcolm Brown, Karl Michael Schmidt, Stephen P. Shipman, Ian Wood
The Inverse Problem For A Spectral Asymmetry Function Of The Schrödinger Operator On A Finite Interval, B. Malcolm Brown, Karl Michael Schmidt, Stephen P. Shipman, Ian Wood
Faculty Publications
For the Schrödinger equation (Formula presented.) on a finite x-interval, there is defined an “asymmetry function” (Formula presented.), which is entire of order 1/2 and type 1 in λ. Our main result identifies the classes of square-integrable potentials (Formula presented.) that possess a common asymmetry function (Formula presented.). For any given (Formula presented.), there is one potential for each Dirichlet spectral sequence.

Faculty Publications
The scientific consensus on human-caused global warming has been a topic of intense interest in recent decades. This is in part due to the important role of public perception of expert consensus, which has downstream impacts on public opinion and support for mitigation policies. Numerous studies, using diverse methodologies and measures of climate expertise, have quantified the scientific consensus, finding between 90% and 100% agreement on human-caused global warming with multiple studies converging on 97% agreement. This study revisits the consensus among geoscientists ten years after an initial survey of experts, while exploring different ways to define expertise and the …
Recoverability For Optimized Quantum F-Divergences, Li Gao, Mark M. Wilde
Recoverability For Optimized Quantum F-Divergences, Li Gao, Mark M. Wilde
Faculty Publications
The optimized quantum f -divergences form a family of distinguishability measures that includes the quantum relative entropy and the sandwiched R'enyi relative quasi-entropy as special cases. In this paper, we establish physically meaningful refinements of the data-processing inequality for the optimized f -divergence. In particular, the refinements state that the absolute difference between the optimized f -divergence and its channel-processed version is an upper bound on howwell one can recover a quantum state acted upon by a quantum channel, whenever the recovery channel is taken to be a rotated Petz recovery channel.Not only do these results lead to physically meaningful …
Understanding And Overcoming Challenges To Photochemical Water Treatment Technologies, Mostafa Maghsoodi
Understanding And Overcoming Challenges To Photochemical Water Treatment Technologies, Mostafa Maghsoodi
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Photochemical water treatment technologies have been extensively studied in recent years to update the current practices and find an innovative, cheap, and sustainable way to treat contaminated water. Despite the well-documented advantages, these technologies faced some challenges and limitations in the way of technology transfer. Among all the challenges, the presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) poses a serious challenge to the application of these technologies, especially photocatalysis. Moreover, the prospect of utilizing the new technology of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) offers an upgrade in the efficiency of the current practice of ultraviolet (UV) dosing. To understand the effect of DOM …

Modeling Of Mos2 Tunnel Field Effect Transistor In Verilog-A For Vlsi Circuit Design, Md Azmot Ullah Khan, Naheem Olakunle Adesina, Jian Xu
Faculty Publications
This paper presents the design of an inverter, half adder, and ring oscillator using compact models of MoS2 channel-based tunnel field effect transistor (TFET). The TFET models (both nand p-type) are written in high-level hardware language Verilog-Analog (Verilog-A) following the analytical model of [1] and the output characteristics of the components are simulated in Cadence/Spectre software. The performance of the designed inverter (a basic building block of VLSI circuit) is analyzed by extracting its different parameters, such as transfer characteristics, power dissipation and consumption, delay, power delay product. The simulated outputs (sum carry) obtained from the half adder circuit exactly …

Blue Carbon In South Florida's Mangroves: The Role Of Large Roots And Necromass, Zoë I. Shribman
Blue Carbon In South Florida's Mangroves: The Role Of Large Roots And Necromass, Zoë I. Shribman
LSU Master's Theses
Blue carbon sequestration and storage in mangroves largely result from belowground biomass allocation in response to flooded anaerobic soil conditions and nutrient availability. Biomass allocation to belowground roots is a major driver of mangrove soil formation and organic matter accumulation leading to blue carbon storage potential. Belowground biomass sampling in mangroves is labor intensive, limiting data availability on biomass stocks, particularly for large roots (>20 mm diameter) and necromass (dead roots). The mangrove nutrient model (NUMAN) uses mostly literature values to parameterize a soil cohort approach to simulate depth distribution of root mass and organic carbon concentration. We evaluated …
Spatiotemporal Variability Of Soil Water Δ18o And Δ2h Reveals Hydrological Processes In Two Floodplain Soils, Amanda Ceming-Barbato
Spatiotemporal Variability Of Soil Water Δ18o And Δ2h Reveals Hydrological Processes In Two Floodplain Soils, Amanda Ceming-Barbato
LSU Master's Theses
The movement of water through soil is preferential and heterogeneous. Subsurface interactions between mobile flows and the soil matrix are not uniform and are therefore difficult to predict through time and space. The use of stable isotopes of hydrogen (2H) and oxygen (18O) as conservative tracers of water movement is improving understanding of soil hydrological processes, yet field-scale observations of isotopic variability remain scarce despite implications for identifying dominant hydrologic processes. We sampled two adjacent soils at a ridge-swale topography floodplain forest to determine soil water isotopic variability at a 20 cm depth resolution in soils …
Resistance Allele Frequencies To Cry1ab And Vip3aa20, And Performance Of Cry1a.105/Cry2ab2 Susceptible And Single/Dual-Gene Resistant Corn Earworm On Non-Bt And Low Concentrations Of Bt Diet, Shucong Lin
LSU Master's Theses
Corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), is an important agricultural pest and a target species of Bt corn and Bt cotton. Recently, this pest in the U.S. has developed resistance to Cry1/Cry2 corn and cotton. The objectives of this study were to 1) estimate the frequencies of resistance allele to Cry1Ab and Vip3Aa20 proteins in Louisiana populations of H. zea; 2) determine if Cry1A.105/Cry2Ab2 single/dual-gene resistance in H. zea is associated with fitness costs; and 3) investigate the effect of three low concentrations of mixed Cry1A.105/Cry2Ab2 proteins on the growth, development, and reproduction of two known Bt-susceptible strains and six …

Biogeochemical And Hydrological Variables Synergistically Influence Nitrate Variability In Coastal Deltaic Wetlands, Alicia Sendrowski, Edward Castañeda-Moya, Robert Twilley, Paola Passalacqua
Faculty Publications
Coastal river deltas are centers of surface water nitrate processing, yet the mechanisms controlling spatio-temporal patterns in nutrient variability are still little understood. Nitrate fluctuations in these systems are controlled by complex interactions between hydrological and biogeochemical drivers, which act together to transport and transform inorganic nutrients. Distinguishing the contributions of these drivers and identifying wetland zones where nitrate processing is occurring can be difficult, yet is critical to make assessments of nutrient removal capacity in deltaic wetlands. To address these issues, we analyze relationships among regional “external” (river discharge, tides, wind) and local “internal” (water level, temperature, turbidity, and …

An Integrated Energy Simulation Model Of A Compressed Air System For Sustainable Manufacturing: A Time‐Discretized Approach, Vansh Vyas, Hyun Woo Jeon, Chao Wang
Faculty Publications
A compressed air system (CAS) is one of the most common and energy‐consuming systems in manufacturing. To practice more economically and environmentally sustainable manufacturing, manufacturers need ways to reduce the energy costs and carbon footprint, resulting from a CAS in their production systems. While preliminary energy studies on a CAS and on machining processes are available separately, existing research studies rarely analyze energy costs using a tool that considers both a CAS and production systems. Therefore, in this study, we propose an energy simulation tool that combines a CAS and a production system to evaluate the effects of a CAS …

We report the discovery of KMT-2020-BLG-0414Lb, with a planet-to-host mass ratio q2 = 0:9- 1:2 × 10-5 = 3-4 q⊕ at 1σ, which is the lowest mass-ratio microlensing planet to date. Together with two other recent discoveries (4. q=q⊕. 6), it fills out the previous empty sector at the bottom of the triangular (log s; log q) diagram, where s is the planet-host separation in units of the angular Einstein radius θE. Hence, these discoveries call into question the existence, or at least the strength, of the break in the mass-ratio function that was previously suggested to account for the …
A Tale Of Two Representations: Energy And Time In Photoabsorption, A. R.P. Rau
A Tale Of Two Representations: Energy And Time In Photoabsorption, A. R.P. Rau
Faculty Publications
This essay is based on a talk at Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences 2020 (AAMOS20) in a symposium honoring Prof. S. T. Manson's decades-long contribution to photoabsorption studies. Quantum physics introduced into physics pairs of conjugate quantities bearing a specific complementary relationship, energy and time being one such pair. This gives rise to two alternative representations, a time-dependent and a time-independent one, seemingly very different but both capable of embracing the same physics. They give complementary descriptions and insight, with technical questions, theoretical and experimental, determining which may be the more convenient and practicable at any juncture. Two …

Symmetries And Geometries Of Qubits, And Their Uses, A. R.P. Rau
Faculty Publications
The symmetry SU(2) and its geometric Bloch Sphere rendering have been successfully applied to the study of a single qubit (spin-1/2); however, the extension of such symmetries and geometries to multiple qubits—even just two—has been investigated far less, despite the centrality of such systems for quantum information processes. In the last two decades, two different ap-proaches, with independent starting points and motivations, have been combined for this purpose. One approach has been to develop the unitary time evolution of two or more qubits in order to study quantum correlations; by exploiting the relevant Lie algebras and, especially, sub-algebras of the …

Faculty Publications
We conducted interferometric observations with the CHARA Array of transiting super-Earth host HD 97658 and measured its limb-darkened angular diameter to be theta(LD) = 0.314 +/- 0.004 mas. The combination of the angular diameter with the Gaia EDR3 parallax value with zero-point correction (pi = 46.412 +/- 0.022 mas, d =21.546 +/- 0.011 pc) yields a physical radius of R-star = 0.728 +/- 0.008 R-circle dot. We also measured the bolometric flux of the star to be F-bol = 2.42 +/- 0.05 x 10(-8) erg s(-1) cm(-2), which, together with angular size, allows a measurement of the effective temperature T-eff …
Global Flash Drought Monitoring Using Surface Soil Moisture, Vinit Sehgal, Nandita Gaur, Binayak P. Mohanty
Global Flash Drought Monitoring Using Surface Soil Moisture, Vinit Sehgal, Nandita Gaur, Binayak P. Mohanty
Faculty Publications
Abrupt onset and swift intensification characterize flash droughts. Global surface soil moisture (θRS) from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite can facilitate a near-real-time assessment of emerging flash droughts at a 36-km footprint. However, a robust flash drought monitoring using θRS must account for the (a) short observation record of SMAP, (b) nonlinear geophysical controls over θRS dynamics, and (c) emergent meteorological drivers of flash droughts. We propose a new method for near-real-time characterization of droughts using Soil Moisture Stress (SMS, drought stress) and Relative Rate of Drydown (RRD, drought stress intensification rate)—developed using SMAP θRS (March 2015–May 2021), …

Particulate matter exposure is a risk factor for lower respiratory tract infection in children. Here, we investigated the geospatial patterns of community-acquired pneumonia and the impact of PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm) on geospatial variability of pneumonia in children. We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected population-based surveillance study data of community-acquired pneumonia hospitalizations among children < 18 years residing in the Memphis metropolitan area, who were enrolled in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sponsored Etiology of Pneumonia in the Community (EPIC) study from January 2010 to June 2012. The outcome measure, residence in high- and low-risk areas for community-acquired pneumonia, was determined by calculating pneumonia incidence rates and performing cluster analysis to identify areas with higher/lower than expected rates of community-acquired pneumonia for the population at risk. High PM2.5 was defined as exposure to PM2.5 concentrations greater than the mean value (>10.75 μg/m3), and low PM2.5 is defined as exposure to PM2.5 concentrations less than or equal to the mean value (≤10.75 μg/m3). We also assessed the effects of age, sex, race/ethnicity, history of wheezing, insurance type, tobacco smoke exposure, …
