Regehr, John | Ph.D. Proposal: hierarchical loadable schedulers | The processors in workstations, personal computers, and servers are becoming increasingly powerful, enabling them to run new kinds of applications, and to simultaneously run combinations of applications that were previously infeasible. However, fast hardware is not enough-the operating system must e... | 1999-01-01 | |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Photoexcitation dynamics in polythiophene/fullerene blends for photovoltaic applications | We used the transient and steady state photomodulation spectroscopies for studying the photoexcitations dynamics in blends of regio-regular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (RR-P3HT) and fullerene in a broad spectral range from 0.15 to 2.25 eV. We found that both localized polarons and singlet excitons are in... | 2012-01-01 | |

Kuhlman, Brian | PHD Entrepreneur | The idea for this speech began when my friends and family started asking what I would do after graduating with my PhD in psychology. Folks tended to get a bit confused when I replied that my plan is to start a business. You don't need a PhD to do that! It's true. The path leading from PhD to Entrepr... | entrepreneur; PhD; doctoral; industry; academia | 2013-05-03 |

Scarpulla, Michael | Pulsed laser induced ohmic back contact in CdTe solar cells | Creating an ohmic back contact has long been a problem for making efficient CdTe solar cells. Current devices utilize some combination of preferential chemical etching, buffer layer, and Cu doping with additional cost, time, and complexity added for each step. In this Letter, these processes are esc... | 2014-01-01 | |

Scarpulla, Michael | Pulsed laser processing of electrodeposited CuInSe2 photovoltaic absorber thin films | In this report we investigate the effects of pulsed laser annealing (PLA) on both as-electrodeposited (ED) and electrodeposited-furnace annealed (EDA) CuInSe2 (CIS) samples by varying the laser fluence (J/cm2) and number of pulses. Results for as-ED samples indicate that liquid CIS-phase formation d... | 2011-01-01 | |

LaStayo, Paul C. | Resistance exercise with older fallers: Its impact on intermuscular adipose tissue | Objective. Greater skeletal muscle fat infiltration occurs with age and contributes to numerous negative health outcomes. The primary purpose was to determine whether intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) can be influenced by an exercise intervention and if a greater reduction in IMAT occurs with ecce... | 2014-01-01 | |

Khan, Faisal Habib | Reliability analysis and performance degradation of a boost converter | In general, power converters are operated in closed-loop systems, and any characteristic variations in one component will simultaneously alter the operating point of other components, resulting in a shift in overall reliability profile. This interdependence makes the reliability of a converter a com... | 2014-01-01 | |

Mishchenko, Eugene | Resonant finite-size impurities in graphene, unitary limit, and Friedel oscillations | A unitary limit for model point scatterers in graphene is known to reveal low-energy resonances. The same limit could be achieved from hybridization of band electrons with the localized impurity level positioned in the vicinity of the Fermi level. The finite-size defects represent an easier realizat... | 2012-01-01 | |

Mitchell, Joyce A. | Retrieval from full-text medical literature: the dream & the reality | While the retrieval of the full-text of a document might seem to end all the hassle of using traditional retrieval systems, the results of the MEDLINE/Full-Text Project indicate that retrieval from the current full-text databases of biomedical journal literature does not match the dream. During the ... | 1991-01-01 | |

Adler, Frederick R. | Reply: | We appreciate the comments of Drs. Craig and Simpson and Drs. Mullins and Schwartz, and the challenge they raise to make MALD more believable, comprehensible, and usable. Acetaminophen (APAP) toxicity is indeed a complex process involving multiple steps. Although the underlying mathematics is more i... | 2012-01-01 | |

Light, Alan R. | Response to Letter by Dr. Smirmaul Group III/IV muscle afferents contribute to both perception of effort and fatigue | We thank Dr. Smirmaul for his interest in our findings, but advise caution not to over-interpret the data to address a question which would have required an entirely different study design. Specifically, the letter to the editor is strongly focused on effort perception, a variable which was, as expe... | 2014-01-01 | |

Gondolo, Paolo | Simple renormalizable flavor symmetry for neutrino oscillations | The recent measurement of a nonzero neutrino mixing angle θ13 requires a modification of the tri-bimaximal mixing pattern that predicts a zero value for it. We propose a new neutrino mixing pattern based on a spontaneously broken A4 flavor symmetry and a type-I seesaw mechanism. Our model allows fo... | 2012-01-01 |
