Value Based Methodology to Evaluate Sensors for Bridge Structural Health Monitoring Systems
(2016-08-24)Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have become important tools in the transportation industry to help monitor the behavior and health of civil structures. Today, there is a real concern about the health of bridges ... -
Valued Living and Fibromyalgia
(2020-02)Prior research has attempted to identify links between trauma and chronic illness, specifically, Fibromyalgia (FM). Due to the lack of understanding of the etiology of FM and the high reports of trauma and stress and FM, ... -
Variability of Paralarval-Squid Occurrence in Meter-Net Tows from East of Florida, USA
(2017-12)We attempted to determine cross-shelf, diel, and seasonal distribution patterns of paralarval cephalopods off eastern Florida during a 5-year study that employed both open-net and discrete-depth closing-net sampling. Based ... -
Variability timescales in the M87 jet: signatures of E^2 losses, discovery of a quasi period in HST-1, and the site of TeV flaring
(2009-06-11)We investigate the variability timescales in the jet of M87 with two goals. The first is to use the rise times and decay times in the radio, ultraviolet, and X-ray light curves of HST-1 to constrain the source size and the ... -
Variable-resolution video moire error map system for inspection of continuously manufactured objects
(1993-05-28)Moire techniques can be a powerful tool to determine deviation of a manufactured shape from a desired shape. In a traditional moire system, distorted gratings on an object are viewed through an undistorted grating. The ... -
The Variation in the Occurrence of Diatoms in the External Mucus of Florida Sharks
Elasmobranch skin has been extensively studied for its drag-reducing hydrodynamic structure and its implications for reduction in ship fuel cost1. Shark mucus and biofilm may also have antifouling properties of interest ... -
Variational Lyapunov method and stability theory
(1998)By unifying the method of variation of parameters and Lyapunov's second method, we develop a fruitful technique which we call variational Lyapunov method. We then consider the stability theory in this new framework showing ... -

Vasreactor
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. There are numerous issues with finding healthy blood vessels in such patients, with them often having to return to surgery due to bypass failure. Bioreactors ... -
Vegetation Response to Intense Holocene Dry Events in the Andes and Amazon Basin
(2019-05)By using the natural laboratory of past climate change I ask: How resilient are extant tropical forest ecosystems to climatic forcing? Do tropical forests systems show gradualistic or threshold responses to past climate ... -
Verification of precipitation forecasts from National Weather Service high resolution forecast models
An evaluation of the High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model and the Weather, Research, and Forecasting (WRF) model was conducted for the NWS in Melbourne, Florida. The models were verified through the radar precipitation ... -
Video transmission over MIMO-OFDM system: MDC and space-time coding-based approaches
(2007)MIMO-OFDM is a promising technique for the broadband wireless communication system. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme that integrates multiple-description coding (MDC), error-resilient video coding, and unequal error ... -
Virtual reality flight simulator : World War
The goal for this project is to create a Virtual Reality Flight Simulator that provides a high level of realism with a cost-effective approach. This software will allow pilots an opportunity to hone their skills with ... -
Visible light responsive systems based on metastable-state photoacids
(2015-08-13)Proton transfer is one of the most fundamental processes in nature. Metastable-state photoacids can reversibly generate a large proton concentration under visible light with moderate intensity. which provides a general ... -
Visible-light activatable organic CO-releasing molecules (PhotoCORMs) that simultaneously generate fluorophores
(2013-07-31)Novel organic photoCORMs based on micelle-encapsulated unsaturated cyclic α-diketones were designed and synthesized. These photoCORMs can be activated by visible light, have potentially low toxicity, allow the delivery of ... -
A vision-based model of crowd navigation
(2019)Humans navigate crowds daily. This can range from quick interactions between pedestrians on the sidewalk to jostling through a busy train station. Research in fields diverse as computer graphics, physics, evacuation planning, ... -
VISION-BASED NAVIGATION FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC FORMATION FLIGHT
(2018-12)The concept of using Satellite Formation Flight (SFF) reveals various benefits for a space mission. However, relying on a consumable actuation system to maintain a desired relative position and orientation between flying ...
