Electrolyte utilization and the consequent concentration polarization significantly limit the potential increase in power density and contribute to electrode degradation in vanadium redox flow batteries during cycling. This study investigates a novel curvature streamlined design, drawing inspiration from natural forms, aiming to enhance the performance of vanadium redox flow battery cells compared to conventional square and rectangular flow-through cell designs. The simulated 3D single-cell model shows a notably superior uniformity in both current and species' concentration distribution within the streamlined design compared to the square and rectangular shapes. Experimental analysis conducted on 3D-printed flow frames demonstrated 2 % enhanced energy …

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) show great promise for translating decades of research on structural abnormalities in temporal lobe epilepsy into clinical practice. Three-dimensional CNNs typically outperform two-dimensional CNNs in medical imaging. Here we explore for the first time whether a three-dimensional CNN outperforms a two-dimensional CNN for identifying temporal lobe epilepsy-specific features on MRI. Using 1178 T1-weighted images (589 temporal lobe epilepsy, 589 healthy controls) from 12 surgical centres, we trained 3D and 2D CNNs for temporal lobe epilepsy versus healthy control classification, using feature visualization to identify important regions. The 3D CNN was compared to the 2D model and …


On The Turbulent Viscosity Parameter Cμ In The K–Ε Model, Harshit Mishra, Subhas Karan Venayagamoorthy Oct 2024

On The Turbulent Viscosity Parameter Cμ In The K–Ε Model, Harshit Mishra, Subhas Karan Venayagamoorthy

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) models depend on empirical constants to close the Reynolds stress terms. The empirical constants were obtained using experiments conducted at low Reynolds numbers several decades ago. In this paper, we revisit the turbulent viscosity parameter Cμ, based on the stress–intensity ratio c2 = |uw|/k. Here, |uw| and k are the absolute values of the Reynolds stress and turbulent kinetic energy, respectively. Through a priori comparisons, we find that the currently accepted value of Cμ = 0.09 does not agree with the latest direct numerical simulation (DNS) and experimental datasets of wall-bounded turbulent planar flows. Therefore, …

Street Trees And Urban Renewal: A Baltimore Case Study, Cynthia L. Merse, Geoffrey L. Buckley, Christopher G. Boone Oct 2024

Street Trees And Urban Renewal: A Baltimore Case Study, Cynthia L. Merse, Geoffrey L. Buckley, Christopher G. Boone

The Geographical Bulletin

For centuries, street trees have persisted as enduring features of the urban landscape. Evidence shows that investing in “green infrastructure” not only contributes to a healthy ecosystem but offers economic and social benefits as well. Despite these advantages, the popularity of street trees has waxed and waned over the years in cities across the United States. The urban forest in Baltimore, Maryland has not been immune to these fluctuations, despite the city’s reputation for innovative tree care and the emphasis city officials placed on street tree planting as part of the urban renewal programs of the 1950s and 1960s. One …

Japan: Nippon Credit Bank Capital Injection,1997, Owen Heaphy Oct 2024

Japan: Nippon Credit Bank Capital Injection,1997, Owen Heaphy

Journal of Financial Crises

In 1997, Japan experienced a financial crisis caused by the bursting of a bubble in commercial real estate prices. By March, Nippon Credit Bank (NCB), the smallest of Japan’s three long-term credit banks, required government assistance due to its heavy exposure to commercial real estate and large amount of nonperforming loans. On April 1, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced the government’s intention to recapitalize NCB as part of a restructuring package. To facilitate the injection, Japan’s Ministry of Finance (MoF) engineered a consortium of large existing shareholders in NCB (mainly insurance companies) and the other two Japanese long-term credit …

A functional positive relationship between the executive director (ED) and the board of directors (BOD) is crucial to nonprofits meeting their missions. The present qualitative study sought to identify factors—including traits, behaviors, processes, and experiences—associated with positive relationships between BODs and EDs in youth-serving nonprofits in Utah. Surveys were utilized to identify pairs (N = 6) of board chairs and EDs who had high relationship satisfaction. Individual semi-structured interviews were employed with each participant. Transcripts were analyzed using two-cycle coding, descriptive and pattern coding in which three themes emerged: (1) Background; (2) Roles; and (3) Leadership. The findings illustrated …


The Devil In The Machine: The Doctor Travels Through Time In Chris Bush’S Faustus: That Damned Woman, Verna Foster Oct 2024

The Devil In The Machine: The Doctor Travels Through Time In Chris Bush’S Faustus: That Damned Woman, Verna Foster

English: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Chris Bush’s Faustus: That Damned Woman (first performed in 2020) is a feminist and contemporary adaptation of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus. The magus is a woman who travels through time from the seventeenth century to the far distant future. In the process, Johanna Faustus becomes a brilliant scientist who attempts to create digital immortality by uploading the minds of billions of human beings to the Cloud. When a power failure destroys almost all of humanity, it is uncertain whether the universal outage is caused by Mephistopheles (in accordance with the expectations of Faustian fantasy) or is simply an unforeseen but …

Study Of Am Electrodeposition From Amcl₃-Licl-Kci Molten Salt, Rohan Akolkar, Christine E. Duval Oct 2024

Study Of Am Electrodeposition From Amcl₃-Licl-Kci Molten Salt, Rohan Akolkar, Christine E. Duval

Faculty Scholarship

In this work, the electrodeposition reaction of Am in AmCl₃LiCl-KCl molten salt was studied using voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Electrodeposition of Am was shown to proceed via a two − step reaction scheme, involving the one-electron transfer reduction of Am³⁺ to Am²⁺, followed by the two-electron transfer reduction of intermediate Am²⁺ to Am⁰. A low Coulombic efficiency of Am deposition was measured despite the Am deposition occurring within the thermodynamic stability window of the supporting LiCl-KCl electrolyte. We hypothesize that the low efficiency is due to out-diffusion of the intermediate Am²⁺ species away from the electrode surface. Experimental observations provide evidence …

Win Your Race Goal: A Generalized Approach To Prediction Of Running Performance., Sandhyarani Dash Oct 2024

Win Your Race Goal: A Generalized Approach To Prediction Of Running Performance., Sandhyarani Dash

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

We introduce a novel approach for predicting running performance, designed to apply across a wide range of race distances (from marathons to ultras), elevation gains, and runner types (front-pack to back of the pack). To achieve this, the entire running logs of 15 runners, encompassing a total of 15,686 runs, were analyzed using two approaches: (1) regression and (2) time series regression (TSR). First, the prediction accuracy of a long short-term memory (LSTM) network was compared using both approaches. The regression approach demonstrated superior performance, achieving an accuracy of 89.13% in contrast, the TSR approach reached an accuracy of 85.21%. …

Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Maternal obesity during pregnancy is linked to systemic inflammation and elevated levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6). In our previous work, we demonstrated that increased maternal IL-6 during gestation impacts intrauterine development in mice. We hypothesized that IL-6-induced inflammation alters gene expression in the developing fetus. To test this, pregnant mice were administered IL-6 or saline during mid-gestation. Newborn mouse kidneys were analyzed using mRNA-seq, miRNA-seq and whole-genome bisulfite-seq (WGBS). A multi-omics approach was employed to quantify mRNA gene expression, miRNA expression and DNA methylation, using …

Exploring The Adoption Phenomenon Of Artificial Intelligence By Doctoral Students Within Doctoral Education, Joey Oliveira, Tim Murphy, Ginger Vaughn, Salim Elfahim, Rob E. Carpenter

Human Resource Development Faculty Publications and Presentations

The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in academia is an emerging field of interest. However, there is scant literature that explores the phenomenon of AI adoption by graduate students in doctoral education. This study employs collaborative autoethnography to explore and better understand the nuances of how doctoral students experience AI technologies within academic pursuits. A critical analysis of data revealed that the collective researcher-participant experiences offered the primary overarching theme of adoption strategy, with four distinct subthemes: adoption fear, adoption resistance, adoption feasibility, and adoption ethics. The findings suggest a balanced approach to AI adoption depends on the development of …
