Chen, Shuyi (author), Parnell, S.R. (author), Kokalari, I. (author), Smith, Gregory N. (author), Zeng, Bing Hong (author), Way, Tun Fun (author), Chuang, Fu Sheng (author), Rwei, A.Y. (author)Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) has attracted significant interest as a promising alternative to solvent-based polyurethane (SPU) due to its positive impact on safety and sustainability. However, significant limitations of WPU, such as its weaker mechanical strength, limit its ability to replace SPU. Triblock amphiphilic diols are promising...journal article 2023

(author)We demonstrate that a cavitation bubble initiated by a Nd:YAG laser pulse below breakdown threshold induces crystallization from supersaturated aqueous solutions with supersaturation and laser-energy-dependent nucleation kinetics. Combining high-speed video microscopy and simulations, we argue that a competition between the dissipation of...journal article 2023

Khosravi, M. (author), Smith, R. S. (author)In this article, we consider the problem of system identification when side-information is available on the steady-state gain (SSG) of the system. We formulate a general nonparametric identification method as an infinite-dimensional constrained convex program over the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) of stable impulse responses. The...journal article 2023

Khosravi, M. (author), Smith, Roy S. (author)This paper discusses the problem of system identification when frequency domain side-information is available. We mainly consider the case where the side-information is provided as the H<sub>∞</sub>-norm of the system being bounded by a given scalar. This framework allows considering different forms of frequency domain side-information, such...journal article 2023

van Dijk, Raymond (author), Kalisvaart, D. (author), Cnossen, J.P. (author), Smith, C.S. (author)Single-molecule localization microscopy requires sparse activation of emitters to circumvent the diffraction limit. In densely labeled or thick samples, overlap of emitter images is inevitable. Single-molecule localization of these samples results in a biased parameter estimate with a wrong model of the number of emitters. On the other hand,...journal article 2023
