Voltage construction of highly-connected cubic graphs
(2023-08-27)In this thesis we consider the spectrum and Algebraic Connectivity (AC) of cubic graphs that have representation as voltage graphs. These graphs have relatively high symmetry and often turn out to have high AC. We first ... -
Voltage Relaxation Methods for State of Charge, and State of Health Estimation in Lithium-Ion Batteries
(2022-08-31)Lithium ion batteries are the dominant technology for energy storage, and only projected to grow as Electric Vehicles gain higher adoption rates. Monitoring of the state of charge and the degradation metrics (state of ... -
Volume of interest imaging for image guided radiotherapy
(2017-04-25)Image guidance has become a vital tool for accurate positioning and monitoring of a patient during radiation therapy. However, the current clinical standard is limited to a large static imaging field and constant x-ray ... -
Volume-Preserving Coordinate Gauges in Linear Perturbation Theory
(2013-02-27)The main goal of this thesis is to present cosmological perturbation theory (based on the standard Friedmann cosmological model) in volume-preserving coordinates, which then provides a suitable basis for studies in ... -
Volume-sensitive potassium(+) current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes.

Volumetric Airway Analysis Following Maxillomandibular Advancement For the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(2018-11-01)Purpose: The aim of this study was to quantify pharyngeal airway changes in patients undergoing MMA surgery and determine if there was a relationship between airway parameters and sleep parameters. Methods and Materials: ... -
Voluntary Aerobic Exercise Attenuates Frailty in a Sex-Specific Manner in Older Male and Female C67Bl/6 Mice
(2021-08-27)Aerobic exercise is thought to improve overall health and reduce frailty, but whether this is beneficial in both sexes is unclear. We introduced voluntary wheel running to older (~22 months) male and female mice to see if ... -
