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 Environmental Risks Using a Fusion of Statistical and Machine Learning Methods
(2020-05-12)There is growing scientific evidence that adverse weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity. Such natural hazards can be largely separated into two groups. The first group comprises extreme events and natural ... -
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 ...
