Evaluation of the novel P particle vaccine candidate against human norovirus using the gnotobiotic pig challenge model
… VP1 capsid proteins, such as virus-like particles (VLPs) and P particles. P particles are a novel vaccine candidate derived from expression of the VP1 protruding (P) domain, while VLPs require expression of the full-length VP1. My studies utilize a gnotobiotic (Gn) pig model of human NoV …

Particle Matter Measurements for Inspection/Maintenance Programs
<p>Particle emissions from Heavy Duty Diesel Vehicles (HDDVs) are currently measured by opacity or dynamometer gravimetric analysis. The Electronic Tailpipe Particle Sensor (ETaPS) is an inexpensive measurement device purported to give real time response to particle mass and was proposed as a …

Quenching of particle-gas combustible mixtures using the electric particulate suspension (EPS) method
… in both normal gravity and microgravity.</p> <p>Particle suspension concentration profiles were determined by either a moving single laser scan (in 1 g) or by an expanded laser sheet scan (in 1 and 0 g). Stratification of suspensions (asymmetry of concentration profiles due to gravity) was found …

Discrete Particle Dynamics Models: Computational Aspects And Applications
<p>Particle dynamics considers discrete particles as Newtonian point masses in diverse domains such as, pedestrian particles in pedestrian movement modeling and molecules in material science modeling. These dynamic modeling approaches share a commonality in computational approach where a series of …

Novel Hybrid Resampling Algorithms for Parallel/Distributed Particle Filters
<p>Particle filters, also known as sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods, use the Bayesian inference and the stochastic sampling technique to estimate the states of dynamic systems from given observations. Parallel/Distributed particle filters were introduced to improve the performance of sequential …
