Poster awarded first place in the 2013 UNT Graduate Exhibition in the Engineering category. This poster discusses laser machining of structural ceramics and an integrated experimental and numerical approach for surface finish.

Data management plan for the grant "Integrating multi-omics datasets to infer phenotype-specific driver genes, regulatory interactions and drug response." Research to develop open source integrative computational tools that perform secondary analysis of publicly available multi-omics biological, clinical and environmental exposure datasets to infer context-specific regulatory interactions and modules, and to predict disease associated genes and patient-specific drug response.

Article describes a study in which c/a ratio and transformation volume change of h.c.p. epsilon martensite phase in transformative high entropy alloys (HEAs) were quantified as functions of alloy chemistry, friction stir processing and tensile deformation.

Article describes investigation which sought to to retrospectively compare this traditional wire technique to an innovative knotless tension band (KTB) technique in order to decrease costly complications.

Article presents several process planning guidelines as a result of a selective laser melting (SLM) process calibration for a selected material (stainless steel 316L), with the intention of contributing in process parameters selection in net shape manufacturing.

This article discusses the fabrication of superhydrophobic bamboo timber by magnetron sputtering and nanoimprint stamps. It was expected that this work could promote the applications of superhydrophobic and conductive bamboo products.

Article describes study in which "soft heteroepitaxy” is used to exert precise control over the lattice orientation of three-dimensional liquid crystalline soft crystals, thereby granting the ability to sculpt the grain boundaries between them.

Article describes an experiment where various chemical exfoliation routes for semiconducting two-dimensional (2D) layered material WS2 were explored, including magnetic stirring (MS), shear mixing (SM), and horn-tip (HT) sonication.

This article looks at hierarchical twinning in metastable body-centered cubic (bcc) β-titanium alloy on tensile deformation.

This article highlights the development of a flexible long-chain starch with a hyper-branched structure (HD), and incorporating it with SM and a crosslinking agent to prepare a novel SM adhesive. Results showed that this adhesive exhibited both excellent water resistance and enhanced toughness. The wet bond strength of plywood fabricated using this adhesive was 354.5% higher than that of SM adhesive.

This article describes a study to improve the electrical and thermal conductivity of the polylactic acid/wood flour/thermoplastic polyurethane composites by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). The results showed that, when the addition amount of nano-graphite reached 25 pbw, the volume resistivity of the composites decreased to 10⁸ Ω·m, which was a significant reduction, indicating that the conductive network was already formed. It also had good thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability.

This article detects fine-grained emotion types from health-related posts and shows how high-level and abstract features derived from deep neural networks combined with lexicon-based features can be employed to detect emotions.

Article presents a set of dimensions to characterize the association between two people. The authors introduce and analyze a new corpus, and present experimental results showing that the task can be automated.

Article presenting a two-step methodology to annotate temporally-anchored spatial knowledge on top of OntoNotes.

Article presents work on annotating reflections, an essential counselor behavioral code in motivational interviewing for psychotherapy on conversations that are a combination of casual and therapeutic dialogue.

This article presents physical property data (both published and previously unpublished) on a single batch of International Simple Glass (ISG), which was cast into individual ingots that were distributed to the collaborators. Properties from the atomic scale to the macroscale, including composition and elemental impurities, phase purity, density, thermal properties, mechanical properties, optical and vibrational properties, and the results of molecular dynamics simulations are presented, as well as information on the surface composition and morphology after polishing. Although the existing literature on the alteration of ISG is not extensively reviewed here, the results of well-controlled static alteration experiments are presented here as a point of reference for other performance investigations.

Article introduces a large corpus of metaphor novelty scores for syntactically related word pairs, and releases it freely to the research community. This article describes the corpus, includes an analysis of its score distribution and the types of word pairs included in the corpus, and provides a brief overview of standard metaphor detection corpora.

Article introduces the first taxonomy and annotated educational corpus of questions that aims to help with the analysis of student responses.

Article investigates a novel genetically themed hierarchical algorithm (GTHA) to design Fresnel lens solar concentrators that match with the distinct energy input and spatial geometry of various thermal applications.

Article presents a corpus and experimental results to extract possession relations over time, using Wikipedia articles about artworks.

This article describes a new dataset and experiments to determine whether authors of tweets possess the objects they tweet about.
