Local depletions in the equatorial ionospheric electron density, known as spread-F events, have been an active area of scientific research in the last decades. These are of special interest to the research community ...

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Illinois Center for Transportation (ICT) sponsored and hosted the first National Safety Performance Function Summit on July 29 and 30, 2009, in Chicago, Illinois. ...

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Illinois Center for Transportation (ICT) sponsored and hosted the 2012 National State Safety Engineers and Traffic Engineers Peer-to-Peer Workshop on November 14 ...

This thesis is designed to help understand the need for patterning molecules and cells for uses in medicine and engineering. Our goal is to be able to understand how cells and biological systems develop and how we can use ...

As electrohydrodynamic jet (e-jet) printing technology developments have increased in magnitude over the past few years, a low-cost and user friendly, high-resolution desktop system was developed at the University of ...

To provide a computational framework suitable for the solution of these problems, this work also describes the parallel implementation of a nonlinear, implicit finite element code. The implementation employs an explicit ...

A method for reconstructing 3-D tomographic image of space from spectroscopic Far Ultraviolet (FUV) measurements is presented by first formulating a forward model based on the FUV instrument onboard a NASA satellite scheduled ...

This thesis proposes a robust method of creating a 3D digital model of an object through stereoscopic reconstruction. There are existing methods and tools for achieving this, but they tend to only perform well under favorable ...
