Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is a high-level declarative language for programming reactive systems. Previous work on FRP has demonstrated its utility in a wide range of application domains, including animation, graphical user interfaces, and robotics. FRP has an elegant continuous-time denotational semantics. However, it guarantees no bounds on execution time or space, thus making it u...

Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) production in many cases involves expensive molds, which especially hinders cost-effective of small series and prototypes. In metal parts production, incremental sheet forming (ISF) is an established process for creating individual through a flexible die-less process. Establishing similar FRP desirable but challenging, as deformation mechanisms endless differ sig...

Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is a programming framework for constructing interactive applications in a declarative manner. FRP is now used in animation, vision, robotics and other control systems. Behaviors and Events – values and conditions which are functions of time – play a key role in FRP. In this paper we present an implementation of main FRP features in C++, an widely used imper...

The overall objective of this research project was to conduct an extensive study of the behavior and use of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon FRP (CFRP) materials for bridge construction. In particular, GFRP honeycomb sandwich panels were used as bridge panels and steel-supported bridge deck panels and CFRP and GFRP bars were used as internal reinforcement for precast concrete br...

Thin laminates made of high-strength pultruded fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) have been developed to reinforce gluelaminated timber (glulam) beams. The FRP reinforced glulams are significantly stiffer, stronger, and have less variation in bending strength than a conventional (unreinforced) glulam of equal size. Following the technical development and model building code approval of design proc...

We studied the relationship between the atrioventricular nodal functional refractory period (FRP) and refractoriness by mathematical analysis and by measurement during antegrade Wenckebach cycles in 16 dogs. The FRP relates directly to the conduction time of the control beat, and inversely to the coordinates of the point on the A'-H' vs. A-A refractory curve where the slope is -1. The FRP can v...

Characterising the dynamics of landscape-scale wildfires at very high temporal resolutions is best achieved using observations from Earth Observation (EO) sensors mounted onboard geostationary satellites. As a result, a number of operational active fire products have been developed from the data of such sensors. An example of which are the Fire Radiative Power (FRP) products, the FRP-PIXEL and ...

The Vibrio harveyi NADPH-specific flavin reductase FRP follows a ping-pong mechanism but switches to a sequential mechanism in the luciferase-coupled reaction. The bound FMN co-isolated with FRP, while acting as a genuine cofactor in the single-enzyme reaction, functions in the luciferase-coupled reaction as a prebound substrate and is directly transferred to luciferase once it is reduced [Lei,...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has been increasingly applied to steel structures for structural strengthening or crack repair, given its high strength-to-weight ratio and high stiffness-to-weight ratio. Cracks in steel structures are the dominant hidden threats to structural safety. However, it is difficult to monitor structural cracks under FRP coverage and there is little related research. In...
