The Development of a Bottom-up Transportation Model for Assessment of Policies on Energy and Emissions
DownloadFall 2023
The increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have led to the implementation of various mitigation policies in order to limit the adverse impacts of climate change. However, it becomes challenging as the growth in energy demand outbalances the GHG mitigation measures. The...

Unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs have largely become and continue to be an inseparable part of modern warfare, security and surveillance systems, first aid response, aerial cinematography and many other sectors. Therefore, achieving full autonomy for UAVs and drones would ensure mass mobilization...

Numerical investigation of the pollutant dispersion in the heterogeneous urban settings from rooftop sources
DownloadSpring 2024
Exhaust gases emitted from roof-based sources are recognized as one of the primary sources of urban air pollution that could considerably deteriorate both outdoor and indoor air quality. Urban planners frequently use analytical and semi-empirical dispersion models to assess the pollutant...

Optical Measurement of Directional, Regional, and Strain Rate Dependent Mechanical Properties of Human Brain Tissue under Uniaxial Compression
DownloadSpring 2024
The brain is the most important central nervous system component, consisting of a complex network of neurons and glial cells essential for information processing, movement, and behavior control. While computational models have helped advance the development of diagnostic tools and the...

Experimental Evaluation and Modeling of an In-duct Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) System for Bioaerosol Disinfection
DownloadSpring 2024
Airborne pathogen transmissions have played critical roles in the previous COVID-19 pandemic and various respiratory epidemics, such as influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), etc. Inhaling airborne pathogens can cause adverse health effects, resulting in respiratory infections,...
