In the face of increasing urbanization, there is growing interest in application of microscale hydrologic solutions to minimize storm runoff and conserve water at the source. In this study, a physically based numerical model was developed to understand hydrologic processes better at the urban residential scale and the interaction of these processes among different best management practices (BMP...

Since dynamic wireless networks evolve over time, optimal routing computations need to be performed frequently on time-varying network topologies. However, it is often infeasible or expensive to gather the current state of links for the entire network all the time. We provide a thorough analytical characterization of the effect of various link-state sampling strategies operating under a limited...

Epigenetic regulation is based on specific molecular interactions between epigenetic reader, writer and eraser molecules and chromatin. Binding parameters of these interactions such as binding affinities, stoichiometries and thermodynamics are essential for the understanding of the establishment and maintenance of epigenetic networks. The MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST) is a rapid and precise m...

—The emerging mobile applications including contact-based forwarding and online worm containment have put a heavy burden on opportunistic social networks (OSNs), the first goal is to develop an effective model that can reveal the hidden, important social features underlying the OSNs. This problem is especially challenging because of the time-varying network topology. Traditional time expanded ...

3D geometric modeling of real-world characters from multiview video is one of the popular topics in computer vision. In order to capture detailed and accurate 3D geometric model (Time-varying mesh), however, most proposed systems use only some static components(e.g. intensity, texture, color) of the generalized frames, e.g. photometric stereo method, stereo matching method. On the other hand, t...

In recent years, there has been a growing need to analyze the functional connectivity of the human brain. Previous studies have focused on extracting static or time-independent functional networks to describe the long-term behavior of brain activity. However, a static network is generally not sufficient to represent the long term communication patterns of the brain and is considered as an unrel...

We examine the spatial dynamics of individuals in small schools of banded killifish (Fundulus diaphanus) that exhibit rhythmic, oscillating speed, typically with sustained, coordinated, out-of-phase speed oscillations as they move around a shallow water tank. We show that the relative motion among the fish yields a periodically time-varying network of social interactions that enriches visually ...

Gossip algorithms have recently received significant attention, mainly because they constitute simple and robust methods for distributed information processing over networks. However, for many topologies that are realistic for wireless adhoc and sensor networks (such as grids and random geometric graphs), the standard nearest-neighbor gossip converges however slowly. Moreover we show that conve...
