A Tortuosity-Driven Microfluidic Thrombosis and Hemostasis Monitoring Device Applied in a Pediatric Critical Care Unit
(2019-05-15)
Bleeding and thrombosis episodes in children are often encountered during ECMO/VAD. Pediatric patients on ECMO are known to have compromised platelet function and depleted plasma factors, making them susceptible to bleeding ...
Elucidating the Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Diabetic Properties of Urolithin Bioactive Metabolites from Pecan
(2019-04-15)
.
Pecans are a rich source of ellagitannins which are not absorbed by humans, rather they are catabolized into urolithins by human gut microbiota and enterohepatic circulation. Urolithin A and B have been studied for their ...
Localization of Autonomous Vehicles Using RFID Phase Shift
(2019-04-04)
RFID systems are a commonly used method of identifying objects, and the use of RFID for high precision localization is of growing interest. RFID is a promising method for the unique identification of autonomous vehicles ...
Reliable Sensing and Smart Control Techniques in Agricultural Irrigation
(2019-07-17)
The freshwater resource is quite limited and is being stressed due to growing human population and climate fluctuations. Agricultural irrigation is a major consumer of fresh water and therefore plays a critical role in ...
Partial Inerting and Minimum Ignition Energy (Mie) Prediction of Combustible Dusts
(2019-07-24)
Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE) is a critical dust hazard parameter guiding elimination of ignition sources in solids handling facilities. Partial inerting is an important but underutilized mitigation technique in which MIE ...
Molecular Mechanisms of Copper Delivery to the Mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase
(2019-07-24)
Copper is required for the activity of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), the mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes cellular respiration. Copper delivery to CcO is a complex process requiring a number of proteins, and loss-of-function ...
Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Magnetic Gears
(2019-06-26)
Like mechanical gears, magnetic gears convert power between low-speed, hightorque rotation and high-speed, low-torque rotation. This work compares various magnetic gear designs and topologies, introduces an approach for ...
Feasibility Study of a Robotic Plasma Medicine Device Using Numerical Simulation
(2019-05-29)
A concept design of a robotic plasma medicine device is presented, which can generate cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) inside of the human body and deliver CAP through a dynamically moving tip to treat exposed cancers. To ...
Design and Development of Synthetic Methodologies for the Preparation of Porous Materials with Advanced Functionalities
(2019-06-06)
This work details the development of synthetic methodologies for the realization of porous materials with intricate design and meticulous control. A systematic approach is presented for the design and preparation of ...
RF Heating of Laser-Induced Graphite (LIG) on Polymer Surfaces
(2019-05-15)
In this report, we investigate laser-induced graphite (LIG) structures formed in polymeric substrates in order to quantify LIG heating response to radio frequency (RF) fields. Graphitic structures were produced from various ...
