Khan, Faisal Habib | Maximum power point tracking of stirling generator and ocean wave energy conversion systems using a two-stage power converter | Wave energy has become one of the most promising renewable energy resources nowadays. By using a linear generator/alternator, the periodic piston motion of the wave energy conversion system (WEC) can be converted to AC voltage with variable RMS amplitude and frequency; this process is comparable to ... | | 2013-01-01 |

Cline, Nicole L. | Markets of sorrow, labors of faith | The United States Constitution was written with the expectation that our government officials serve with integrity. Normative theory of public administration is grounded through the oath of office to uphold the Constitution. When people in the U. S. become victims of catastrophic events, they expect... | | 2013-01-01 |

Hughes, Kelly T. | The effects of codon context on in vivo translation speed | We developed a bacterial genetic system based on translation of the his operon leader peptide gene to determine the relative speed at which the ribosome reads single or multiple codons in vivo. Low frequency effects of so-called ‘‘silent'' codon changes and codon neighbor (context) effects could... | | 2014-01-01 |

Regehr, John | Efficient memory safety for TinyOS | Reliable sensor network software is difficult to create: applications are concurrent and distributed, hardware-based memory protection is unavailable, and severe resource constraints necessitate the use of unsafe, low-level languages. Our work improves this situation by providing efficient memory an... | | 2007-01-01 |

Regehr, John | Eliminating the call stack to save RAM | Most programming languages support a call stack in the programming model and also in the runtime system.We show that for applications targeting low-power embedded microcontrollers (MCUs), RAM usage can be significantly decreased by partially or completely eliminating the runtime callstack. We presen... | | 2009-01-01 |

Rondina, Matthew Thomas | Emerging evidence for platelets as immune and inflammatory effector cells | While traditionally recognized for their roles in hemostatic pathways, emerging evidence demonstrates that platelets have previously unrecognized, dynamic roles that span the immune continuum. These newly recognized platelet functions, including the secretion of immune mediators, interactions with e... | | 2014-01-01 |

Madsen, Troy Edward | Emergency medicine resident anesthesia training in a private vs. academic setting | Airway management is an essential part of any Emergency Medicine (EM) training program. Academic centers typically provide training to many learners at various training levels in a number of medical specialties during anesthesiology rotations. This potentially creates competition for intubation proc... | | 2012-01-01 |

Scarpulla, Michael | Electron backscatter diffraction and photoluminescence of sputtered CdTe thin films | Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has been used to characterize the grain size, grain boundary structure, and texture of sputtered CdTe at varying deposition pressures before and after CdCl2 treatment in order to correlate performance with film microstructure. It is known that twin boundaries ... | | 2011-01-01 |

Liu, Feng | Electronic strengthening of graphene by charge doping | Graphene is known as the strongest 2D material in nature, yet we show that moderate charge doping of either electrons or holes can further enhance its ideal strength by up to 17%, based on first-principles calculations. This unusual electronic enhancement, versus conventional structural enhancement,... | | 2012-01-01 |

Simpson, Jamesina J. | ELF radar system proposed for localized D-region ionospheric anomalies | This letter proposes a novel extremely low frequency (ELF) radar for localized D-region (altitude < 95 km) ionospheric anomalies that have been generated by natural geophysical processes. The proposed system would use the former U.S. Navy Wisconsin Transmitting Facility as a distant well-characteriz... | | 2006-01-01 |

Wu, Yong-Shi | Emergent exclusion statistics of quasiparticles in two-dimensional topological phases | We demonstrate how the generalized Pauli exclusion principle emerges for quasiparticle excitations in 2D topological phases. As an example, we examine the Levin-Wen model with the Fibonacci data (specified in the text), and construct the number operator for fluxons living on plaquettes. By numerical... | | 2014-01-01 |

Tvrdik, Petr | Gene targeting in the mouse nervous system | Our understanding of the development, connectivity and function of the nervous system has been facilitated by gene targeting technology. Here we summarize the historic background and the current state of this experimental approach with specific regard to neuroscience research. I. The Pioneering Expe... | | 2012-01-01 |

Pascucci, Valerio | Generalized topological simplification of scalar fields on surfaces | We present a combinatorial algorithm for the general topological simplification of scalar fields on surfaces. Given a scalar field f, our algorithm generates a simplified field g that provably admits only critical points from a constrained subset of the singularities of f, while guaranteeing a small... | | 2012-01-01 |

Mitchell, Joyce A. | Fuzzy measures on the Gene Ontology for gene product similarity | One of the most important objects in bioinformatics is a gene product (protein or RNA). For many gene products, functional information is summarized in a set of Gene Ontology (GO) annotations. For these genes, it is reasonable to include similarity measures based on the terms found in the GO or othe... | | 2006-01-01 |

Light, Alan R. | Functional properties of tooth pulp neurons responding to thermal stimulation | The response properties of tooth pulp neurons that respond to noxious thermal stimulation of the dental pulp have been not well studied. The present study was designed to characterize the response properties of tooth pulp neurons to noxious thermal stimulation of the dental pulp. Experiments were c... | | 2012-01-01 |

Gur, Yaniv | Generalized hardi invariants by method of tensor contraction | We propose a 3D object recognition technique to construct rotation invariant feature vectors for high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI). This method uses the spherical harmonics (SH) expansion and is based on generating rank-1 contravariant tensors using the SH coefficients, and contracti... | | 2014-01-01 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Genetic relatedness to sisters children has been underestimated | Males of many species help in the care and provisioning of offspring, and these investments often correlate with genetic relatedness. For example, many human males invest in the children of sisters, and this is especially so where men are less likely to share genes with children of wives. Although t... | | 2013-01-01 |

Tiwari, Ashutosh | Garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 electrolyte prepared by a solution-based technique for lithium ion battery | High quality garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 solid electrolyte was synthesized using a solution-based technique. The electrolyte pellets were sintered at 900 oC, resulting in tetragonal phase, which then transformed to cubic phase after annealing at 1230 oC. The ionic conductivity of both phases was studie... | | 2012-01-01 |

Regehr, John | Help, help, Im being suppressed the significance of suppressors in software testing | Abstract-Test features are basic compositional units used to describe what a test does (and does not) involve. For example, in API-based testing, the most obvious features are function calls; in grammar-based testing, the obvious features are the elements of the grammar. The relationship between fea... | | 2013-01-01 |
