V344 Lyrae: A touchstone Su UMa cataclysmic variable in the Kepler field
(2011-10-24)We report on the analysis of the Kepler short-cadence (SC) light curve of V344 Lyr obtained during 2009 June 20 through 2010 March 19 (Q2-Q4). The system is an SU UMa star showing dwarf nova (DN) outbursts and superoutbursts, ... -
Validation of an External Bioreactor Filtration Loop Prototype for a Tissue Engineering Test Bed
(2019-05)As a cell line thrives within a culture, some of the cells undergo the natural process of death. Whether it is due to apoptotic or necrotic causes, cell death is a significant hurdle for tissue engineering and cell ... -
Validation of Arterial Distensibility Neural Network Model with Clinical Data
(2021-05)Cardiovascular diseases continue to plague the world as the number one killer of adults each year. As cardiovascular diseases can start with seemingly no symptoms, heart disease has been coined as the silent killer. With ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Visualization of medical images over mobile wireless handheld devices
(2005-03-14)With the novel advances in wireless communication and personal mobile handheld devices, a newly emerging technology of medical visualization on mobile handheld is believed to provide advance service for physicians, especially ...
