Diagnostics of an Artificial Relativistic Electron Beam Interacting with the Atmosphere
We use a Monte Carlo model to simulate the interaction of a beam of relativistic electrons with the upper atmosphere as they are injected downward from a notional high-altitude injection…

Smten with Satisfiability-Based Research
We present Smten, a high-level language for orchestrating and constructing satisfiability-based search queries. We show that applications developed using Smten require significantly fewer lines of code and less developer effort…

Mechanized Support for Assurance Case Argumentation
We propose simple ways in which an assurance case, formalized in a mechanized verification system to support the first purpose, can be adapted to serve the second.

A Framework for High-Assurance Quasi-Synchronous Systems
In this paper, we examine the foundations of a quasi-synchronous model of computation Our version of the quasi-synchronous model is inspired by the Robot Operating System (ROS).

A Computational Photography Shootout: Wavefront Coding Vs. Lattice Focal Imaging
We systematically compared the optical performance of two computational photography (CP) approaches used to extend the depth of field of an imaging system: wavefront coding and lattice focal lens imaging.

On the Generation/Decay of the Storm-Enhanced Density Plumes: Role of the Convection Flow and Field-Aligned Ion Flow
We present observations of SED plumes during six storms between 2010 and 2013 and comprehensively analyze the associated ionospheric parameters within the plumes.

Gender Difference in Interactions between MAOA Promoter uVNTR Polymorphism and Negative Familial Stressors on Body Mass Index among Chinese Adolescents
Our goals were to replicate the population effects of this functional polymorphism on obesity risk, and to further explore gender differences and interaction effects with negative stressors.
