Global energy needs are continuously increasing while fossil fuels remain an uncertain resource. With a growing population and demand for energy, alternative energy sources are being pursued to power the future. Fossil fuels are an unsustainable resource that brings along problems of climate change and atmospheric pollution. Concentrated solar power...
The planar peptide model has guided our understanding and interpretation of protein crystal structures since its origin in the 1950s. It is well understood that deviations from this model occur, but the majority of peptides are planar, as measured by the standard omega torsion angle. Here, we report the first...
We analyze the well-posedness of a flow-plate interaction considered in [22, 24]. Specifically, we consider the
Kutta-Joukowski boundary conditions for the flow [20, 28, 26], which
ultimately give rise to a hyperbolic equation in the half-space (for the flow) with mixed
boundary conditions. This boundary condition has been considered previously...
We analyze the convergence to equilibrium of solutions to the nonlinear Berger plate evolution
equation in the presence of localized interior damping (also referred to as geometrically constrained
damping). Utilizing the results in [24], we have that any trajectory converges to the set of stationary
points N. Employing standard assumptions...

We consider the well-posedness of a model for a flow-structure interaction. This model describes the dynamics of an elastic flexible plate with clamped boundary conditions immersed in a supersonic flow. A perturbed wave equation describes the flow potential. The plateʼs out-of-plane displacement can be modeled by various nonlinear plate equations...
1. The evaluation of the age and growth of animal populations is essential for understanding and
predicting how populations will respond to changes in environmental conditions and anthropogenic
stressors.
2. We used a novel, von Bertalanffy hierarchical modelling approach to quantify relationships between
the growth of three freshwater mussel species...
In this paper dynamic von Karman equations with localized interior damping supported in a boundary collar are considered. Hadamard well-posedness for von Karman plates with various types of nonlinear damping are well known, and the long-time behavior of nonlinear plates has been a topic of recent interest. Since the von...
Background: Epidemiologic studies of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) depend upon accurate case identification. Our objective was to evaluate the positive predictive value (PPV) of electronic medical record data for identification of SSTIs in a primary care setting. Methods: A validation study was conducted among primary care outpatients in...
