The tachinid species Ormia Dominicana, Ormia lineifrons, and Sitophaga aurigera were observed to aggregate atop 2 towers in central Florida shortly after sunset. The activity period for each species was brief, and that of 0. dominicana was temporally separated from that of S. aurigera. Aggregations occasionally exceeded 100 individuals of...
Microscale fluid processes are an increasingly important subgroup of fluid mechanics. Applications for heat transfer and micro-electro-mechanical devices use flows on the scale of less than one hundred microns. This study is part of a larger work in which a multiphase, high shear environment is studied in a microchannel that...
At the start of the 21st century much of the focus of aircraft design has been turned to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) which generally operate at much lower speeds in higher risk areas than manned aircraft. One subset of UAVs are Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) which usually are no larger...

Long-term research on freshwater ecosystems provides insights that can be difficult to obtain from other approaches. Widespread monitoring of ecologically relevant water-quality parameters spanning decades can facilitate important tests of ecological principles. Unique long-term data sets and analytical tools are increasingly available, allowing for powerful and synthetic analyses across sites....
The engineering community is increasingly moving towards the design of seismic force-resisting systems that limit post-earthquake damage and reduce downtime to increase urban resiliency. For example, structural spines can be used to provide an elastic load path to impose a more uniform drift distribution with building height, thereby reducing the...
In a radiological emergency scenario, the capability to rapidly visualize radiation emitted from debris, contamination, or absorbed in biological samples, while visualizing the non-radioactive (or “conventional” image) features within a field of view, will provide critical information to support optimization of further analysis, sample collection, and decision making. This research...
The evaluated nuclear data widely used in computational tools suffer from inaccuracies and large relative uncertainties, particularly with respect to short-lived and low-yield fission products. The existing data are often based on nuclear models, and limited experimental measurements of these fission product yields have been performed. This work seeks to...
