Abstract: In this paper we investigate observability of small solutions of linear differential-algebraic systems with delays (DAD), i.e. solutions that vanish after some finite time. In particular, we prove existence of two kinds of small solutions of DAD systems. The main result are the rank type conditions for observability of three kinds of small solutions of linear differential-algebraic sy...

This is a critical reflection of my experience navigating higher education as Hmong woman. My dad well known among our clan to be very “traditional” and respectable. However, over the past 6 years during graduate studies, has remained number one supporter. I sometimes, tell him he chosen one, derail his beliefs. At times, begin imagine what life would like if were son. As for me, mentors told m...

The demand for an insert on composite sandwich structures to aid in the arrestment of face-core delamination is of great need. This research studies the use of a damage arrestment device (DAD) that connects the carbon fiber face sheets to the foam core to find whether an increase in the structural integrity of the sandwich beam results. Experimental analysis was employed to test the samples and...

Dysfunction and downregulation of dad (defending against death) has been linked to programmed cell death (PCD) in animals and plants. As DAD is an essential subunit of the oligosaccharyltransferase that is located in the ER membrane, the results have raised the possibility that downregulation of N-linked glycosylation could be involved in the regulation of PCD. Here we show that the 16 kDa subu...

A simple, rapid, and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of vancomycin and cephalexin in human plasma was developed by using HPLC-DAD with second-order calibration algorithms. Instead of a completely chromatographic separation, mathematical separation was performed by using two trilinear decomposition algorithms, that is, PARAFAC-alternative least squares (PARAFAC-ALSs) and self...

Dedication For mom and dad.

Our family lived in basically a rural area outside Dalian. My Dad was really serious about education. When I was in primary school—well in the city, [schools] all have English classes, right? But in the country that's not the case. So my Dad took me every single night to the English teacher's house to study, then he'd come back later to pick me up.... By the time I started junior high, I'd alre...
