Evaluation of the assumptions in the steady-state tropical cyclone self-stratified outflow using three-dimensional convection-allowing simulations
(American Meteorological Society, 2019-09)The criteria and assumptions that were used to derive the steady-state tropical cyclone intensity and structure theory of Emanuel and Rotunno are assessed using three-dimensional convection-allowing simulations using the ... -
Evaluation of the diffuse mismatch model for phonon scattering at disordered interfaces
(American Physical Society (APS), 2021-08-30)Diffuse phonon scattering strongly affects the phonon transport through a disordered interface. The often-used diffuse mismatch model assumes that phonons lose memory of their origin after being scattered by the ... -
An evaluation of the FDA's analysis of the costs and benefits of the graphic warning label regulation
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014-12)The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 gave the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory authority over cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products and authorised it to assert jurisdiction over ... -
Evaluation of the Moisture Effect on the Material Interface Using Multiscale Modeling
(Springer Singapore, 2019-03-18)Abstract Layered material systems are widely seen in various engineering applications such as thin films circuit boards in electronic engineering, lipid bilayer in biological engineering, and adhesive bonding ... -
An Evaluation of the Pair Discussion Component of Interteaching
(Springer International Publishing, 2018-03-12)Abstract The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the pair discussion component of interteaching on student quiz performance for two sections of an introductory undergraduate course in ... -
Evaluation of the Potential Impact of Ebola Virus Genomic Drift on the Efficacy of Sequence-Based Candidate Therapeutics
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015-01)Until recently, Ebola virus (EBOV) was a rarely encountered human pathogen that caused disease among small populations with extraordinarily high lethality. At the end of 2013, EBOV initiated an unprecedented disease outbreak ... -
Evaluation of the volatility basis-set approach for the simulation of organic aerosol formation in the Mexico City metropolitan area
(European Geosciences Union / Copernicus, 2010-01)New primary and secondary organic aerosol modules have been added to PMCAMx, a three dimensional chemical transport model (CTM), for use with the SAPRC99 chemistry mechanism based on recent smog chamber studies. The new ... -
Evaluation of turbulence modeling approaches for the prediction of cross-flow in a helical tube bundle
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2018-10)Helical coil steam generators are being adopted in a number of advanced nuclear reactor designs because of their increased heat transfer efficiency and compactness when compared to traditional configurations. Due to the ... -
Evaluation of Visual-Evoked Cerebral Metabolic Rate of Oxygen as a Diagnostic Marker in Multiple Sclerosis
(MDPI AG, 2017-06)A multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis often relies upon clinical presentation and qualitative analysis of standard, magnetic resonance brain images. However, the accuracy of MS diagnoses can be improved by utilizing advanced ... -
Evaluation of Waste Electronic Product Trade-in Strategies in Predictive Twin Disassembly Systems in the Era of Blockchain
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-07)Manufacturing and supply chain operations are on the cusp of an era with the emergence of groundbreaking technologies. Among these, the digital twin technology is characterized as a paradigm shift in managing production ... -
Evaluation of WRF mesoscale simulations and particle trajectory analysis for the MILAGRO field campaign
(European Geosciences Union / Copernicus, 2009-07)Accurate numerical simulations of the complex wind flows in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) can be an invaluable tool for interpreting the MILAGRO field campaign results. This paper uses three methods to evaluate ... -
Evanescent Coupling Device Design for Waveguide-Integrated Group IV Photodetectors
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-12)We have fabricated vertical p-i-n silicon photodetectors that are monolithically integrated with compact silicon-oxynitride channel waveguides. By comparing the evanescent coupling from low index-contrast waveguides and ... -
Evaporating the Milky Way halo and its satellites with inelastic self-interacting dark matter
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-02)Self-interacting dark matter provides a promising alternative for the cold dark matter paradigm to solve potential small-scale galaxy formation problems. Nearly all self-interacting dark matter simulations so far have ... -
Evaporation-Induced Cassie Droplets on Superhydrophilic Microstructured Surfaces
(ASME International, 2012-07)A droplet deposited on a rough, lyophilic surface satisfying the imbibition condition, results in complete wetting. However, in this work, we demonstrate that this behavior can be altered by superheating the substrate such ... -
Evaporation-induced cavitation in nanofluidic channels
(National Academy of Sciences, 2012-03)Cavitation, known as the formation of vapor bubbles when liquids are under tension, is of great interest both in condensed matter science as well as in diverse applications such as botany, hydraulic engineering, and medicine. ... -
Evaporative Cooling Hydrogel Packaging for Storing Biologics Outside of the Cold Chain

Evaporative Crystallization in Drops on Superhydrophobic and Liquid-Impregnated Surfaces
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-04)Mineral-fouling induced corrosion and deterioration of marine vessels, aircraft, and coastal structures is due in part from structural intrusion of crystals grown from ocean-generated saline drops. As such, much work has ... -
Evasion of Innate Cytosolic DNA Sensing by a Gammaherpesvirus Facilitates Establishment of Latent Infection
(American Association of Immunologists, 2015-02)Herpesviruses are DNA viruses harboring the capacity to establish lifelong latent-recurrent infections. There is limited knowledge about viruses targeting the innate DNA-sensing pathway, as well as how the innate system ... -
Even 1 × n Edge-Matching and Jigsaw Puzzles are Really Hard
(Information Processing Society of Japan (Jōhō Shori Gakkai), 2017-08)We prove the computational intractability of rotating and placing n square tiles into a 1 × n array such that adjacent tiles are compatible-either equal edge colors, as in edge-matching puzzles, or matching tab/pocket ...
