Pelagic fish spared from ocean catch by integrating Black Soldier Fly Larvae in U.S. aquaculture production
Published 2024-04-01“…Previous research indicates that Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL; Hermetia illucens) can partially replace fish meal and/or fish oil in the diets of farmed aquaculture species without compromising fish growth or efficiency. …”

Non-Traditional Layout Design for Robotic Mobile Fulfillment System with Multiple Workstations
Published 2021-06-01“…In addition, we investigate the near-optimal workstation location patterns (i.e., some general workstation configuration rules) in the context of both traditional and flying-V layouts. A series of experiments led to the following findings: (1) the flying-V layout can save 8∼26% of travel distance compared with the traditional layout, and the sacrifice of space use is only 2∼3% for medium or large warehouses; (2) instead of solving the optimization model, the proposed <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>2</mn><mi>n</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> rule and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>n</mi><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> rule are simple and easily implemented ways to locate workstations, with travel distance gaps of less than 1.5% and 5% for traditional and flying-V layouts, respectively; and (3) the “optimal” cross-aisle angle (i.e., <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>θ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>) in flying-V layout can be set as large as possible as long as the cross-aisle intersects the left or right edge of the warehouse.…”

Longitudinal monitoring of individual infection progression in Drosophila melanogaster
Published 2022-11-01“…By using Escherichia coli expressing the ilux operon, we demonstrate that photon flux from autobioluminescent bacteria can be used to monitor pathogen loads in individual, living flies. Because animal sacrifice is not necessary to estimate pathogen load, stochastic responses to infection can be characterized in individuals over time. …”

Flight-reproduction trade-offs are weak in a field cage experiment across multiple Drosophila species
Published 2023-01-01“…Flight-reproduction trade-offs, such that more mobile individuals sacrifice reproductive output (e.g., fecundity) or incur fitness costs, are well-studied in a handful of wing-dimorphic model systems. …”

Aerodynamic Robust Design Research Using Adjoint-Based Optimization under Operating Uncertainties
Published 2023-09-01“…This paper first combines gradient-based optimization using the discrete adjoint-based approach with the polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) method to establish the ROD framework. A flying-wing configuration is optimized using deterministic optimization and ROD methods, respectively. …”
