Mechanical Performance of Pultruded and Compression-Molded CFRTP Laminates: A Comparative Study Open
In this work, the mechanical performance of unidirectional thermoplastic laminates produced via a proprietary non-reactive thermoplastic pultrusion system known as the continuous forming machine (CFM) was compared to the mechanical perform…

Price Premia For Cheapest-To-Deliver Bonds Open
This paper tests for price pressure effects in the cash U.S. Treasury market for bonds that are the cheapest-to-deliver (CTD) instrument in the Treasury bond futures market. We find that there is a detectable and significant premium in the…

Continuously Formed Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite Rebar for Concrete Reinforcement Open
Despite the strength and ductility of steel reinforcing bars, their susceptibility to corrosion can limit the long-term durability of reinforced concrete structures. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars made with a thermosetting…

Sustaining Science Infrastructure Is Difficult; Is Commercialization the Answer? The USA National Phenology Network's Experience Open
Biological and physical science infrastructure programs play a critical role in supporting scientific discovery. Even with their foundational roles in the process of science, frequently, support for these programs is threatened, reduced, o…

Evaluation of Salt Tolerance at Germination Stage in Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] Open
Cowpea is a leguminous and versatile crop which provides nutritional food for human consumption. However, salinity unfavorably reduces cowpea seed germination, thus significantly decreasing cowpea production. Little has been done for evalu…

Dictionary learning for data recovery in positron emission tomography Open
Compressed sensing (CS) aims to recover images from fewer measurements than that governed by the Nyquist sampling theorem. Most CS methods use analytical predefined sparsifying domains such as total variation, wavelets, curvelets, and fini…
