Q Control of an Active AFM Cantilever with Differential Sensing Configuration
Microcantilevers featuring separate built-in actuation and displacement sensing capabilities allow effective and simple implementation of control methods, opening a pathway to achieving higher scan speeds in tapping-mode ... -
Q-Mat+: An Error-Controllable and Feature-Sensitive Simplification Algorithm for Medial Axis Transform
The medial axis transform (MAT), as an intrinsic shape representation, plays an important role in shape approximation, recognition and retrieval. Q-MAT is a state-of-the-art algorithm driven by quadratic error minimization ... -

Quadrics in Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces, Integrable Billiards and Extremal Polynomials
(2019-08)We study the geometry of confocal quadrics in pseudo-Euclidean spaces of dimensions 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Along with the notion of geometric quadrics, we also investigate the relativistic quadrics which provide tools ... -
Quality Assurance and Health Management for Software Systems
(2019-12)Companies have experienced an increased frequency of failures due to defective software that have cost millions of dollars. Recent high-profile incidents have drawn increased scrutiny to the risks of failed software ... -
Quality of Barrier Cover with Wireless Sensors
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2019-04-01)A set of wireless sensors is called a barrier cover if they can monitor the boundary of an area so that an intruder cannot enter the area without being found by any sensor. The quality of a barrier cover is the shortest ... -
Quantification of the Axial Induction Exerted by Utility-Scale Wind Turbines by Coupling LiDAR Measurements and RANS Simulations
The axial induction exerted by utility-scale wind turbines for different operative and atmospheric conditions is estimated by coupling ground-based LiDAR measurements and RANS simulations. The LiDAR data are thoroughly ... -
Quantifying Experience and Task Performance in 3D Serious Games
(2019-05)Mixed reality systems allow the development of different 3D immersive games, by immersing a live captured 3D model of a person in a virtual environment and enabling interactions and collaborations among geographically ... -
Quantifying Extremely Rapid Flux Enhancements of Radiation Belt Relativistic Electrons Associated with Radial Diffusion
Previous studies have revealed a typical picture that seed electrons are transported inward under the drive of radial diffusion and then accelerated via chorus to relativistic energies. Here we show a potentially different ... -
Quantifying Search and Switching Costs in the US Auto Insurance Industry
I estimate demand for auto insurance in the presence of two types of market frictions: search and switching costs. I develop an integrated utility-maximizing model in which consumers decide over which and how many companies ... -
Quantifying the Interaction between Copper-Zinc Superoxide Dismutase (Sod1) and Its Copper Chaperone (Ccs1)
Immature copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Sod1) is activated by its copper chaperone (Ccs1). Ccs1 delivers a single copper ion and catalyzes oxidation of an intra-subunit disulfide bond within each Sod1 monomer through a ... -
Quantifying the Rhythm of KaiB-C Interaction for In Vitro Cyanobacterial Circadian Clock
An oscillator consisting of KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC proteins comprises the core of cyanobacterial circadian clock. While one key reaction in this process-KaiC phosphorylation-has been extensively investigated and modeled, ... -
Quantitative Combination of Natural Anti-Oxidants Prevents Metabolic Syndrome by Reducing Oxidative Stress
(2015-06-26)Insulin resistance and abdominal obesity are present in the majority of people with the metabolic syndrome. Antioxidant therapy might be a useful strategy for type 2 diabetes and other insulin-resistant states. The combination ... -
A Quantitative Electroencephalography Study on Cochlear Implant-Induced Cortical Changes in Single-Sided Deafness with Tinnitus
The mechanism of tinnitus suppression after cochlear implantation (CI) in single-sided deafness (SSD) is not fully understood. In this regard, by comparing pre-and post-CI quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), we ... -
Quantitative liver-specific protein fingerprint in blood: A signature for hepatotoxicity
(2014-01-14)We discuss here a new approach to detecting hepatotoxicity by employing concentration changes of liver-specific blood proteins during disease progression. These proteins are capable of assessing the behaviors of their ... -
Quantum Mechanical Solver for Confined Heterostructure Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors
Heterostructure tunnel field-effect transistors (HTFET) are promising candidates for low-power applications in future technology nodes, as they are predicted to offer high on-currents, combined with a sub-60 mV/dec ... -
Quantum Parity Hall Effect in Bernal-Stacked Trilayer Graphene
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019-05-03)The quantum Hall effect has recently been generalized from transport of conserved charges to include transport of other approximately conserved-state variables, including spin and valley, via spin- or valley-polarized ... -
Quantum Phases of Bose-Einstein Condensates with Synthetic Spin-Orbital-Angular-Momentum Coupling
(2015-05)The experimental realization of emergent spin-orbit coupling through laser-induced Raman transitions in ultracold atoms paves the way for exploring novel superfluid physics and simulating exotic many-body phenomena. A ...
