Taggart, Maxwell M. | A novel MRI-based screening method for assessing atrio-esophageal fistula risk following cardia ablation | Atrio-esophageal fistulas affect 1 in 2000 patients who undergo cardiac ablation procedures with a mortality rate of 93%. Methods for detecting atrio-esophageal fistula formation that are objective and non-invasive could reduce the mortality associated with this disease. This study was performed ret... | Magnetic resonance imaging; Cardia ablation; Trio-esophageal fistual | 2014-12 |

Anjewierden, Scott | Automated kinematic analysis of pre-pluse inhibition in larval zebrafish | Animals differentially ignore or attend to sensory information depending on their immediate environment. A significant example of this phenomenon is audiomotorpre-pulse inhibition (PPI), in which the startle response to a loud noise is suppressed by a preceding stimulus of lower intensity. This a... | Zebra danio - Development; Kinematics - Research; Kinematic parameters; Swim kinematics; Pre-pulse inhibition | 2014-12 |

Ruan, Ting | Endogenous ceramide contributes to cardiovascular complications in Type II diabetes by decreasing the association between PP2A and I2PP2A | Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of death in individuals with conditions associated with insulin resistance, e.g. type 2 diabetes, diet-induced obesity. In patients with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular complications are 2-4 times more prevalent. One common cardiovascular complicati... | Ceramides - Physiological effect; Diabetic angiopathies | 2014 |

Beus, Zachary | Power system stabilizer | The goal of this project, part of the Power Industry Consortium, was to design a power system stabilizer for a small grid-connected three phase synchronous generator. Power System Stabilizers control the excitation of synchronous generators to reduce lowfrequency oscillations on the grid and increas... | Voltage regulators; Power system stabilizers | 2015-05 |

Freckleton, K. Beau | Sarrus-based passive mechanism for rotorcraft perchings: Structural design and mass optimization | Current quad-rotors provide excellent maneuverability and opportunity for data collection in large scale areas such as agriculture, but lack the capability to maintain flight for an extended period of time. This is primarily due to a lack of energy supply, requiring operators to replace the battery ... | Drone aircraft; Drone aircraft -- Control systems; Sarrus | 2014-12 |
