Design of an In Vivo Robotic Plasma Medicine Device
(2019-05-24)
This research explored the design and feasibility of a robotic plasma medicine device intended for cancer treatment inside of the human body, potentially enabling the delivery of cold atmospheric plasma in a safe, controllable, ...
Efficiency Improvements of an Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Motor
(2019-05-20)
NovaMax® motor is an axial flux permanent magnet (PM) motor which incorporates several unique topologies to achieve state-of-the-art efficiency of 96%. The use of grain oriented electric steel (GOES) increases permeability ...
Phase Transitions of Early Transition Metal Oxides and Implications for Functional Thin Films
(2019-07-10)
Solid-to-solid phase transitions induced by external stimuli underpin numerous technological applications and enable the stabilization of metastable polymorphs characterized by atomic connectivities and electronic structure ...
Comparison of Different Antimicrobial Treatments in the Decontamination of Fresh Beef Head and Cheek Meat
(2019-07-11)
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli are enteric pathogens that can cause severe illnesses in humans including Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) and Hemorrhagic Colitis (HC). These pathogens may be present in the ...
Development of High Performance Water Base Mud and Estimation of Downhole Swelling
(2019-06-10)
Shale swelling causes 90% of wellbore instabilities and oil-base muds (OBM) have been the best choice for many years. However, the stringent environmental concern have resulted in a keen interest in the development of ...
Chemical Vapor Deposited Growth of Hexagonal Boron Nitride on Copper and Copper-Nickel Binary Alloys
(2019-07-29)
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is an ultra-wide band gap van der Waals semiconducting material. It has been extensively studied for electronic applications such as tunnel and gate di-electric, and as a substrate for ...
Life-History Traits of Black Soldier Flies, Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) and House Flies, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) Fed Three Manure Types
(2019-06-24)
The United States is a major producer of livestock and poultry. As such, large volumes of manure are produced annually. This fact coupled with the lurking concern of the growing global human population and environmental ...
The Nitric Oxide Synthase System Producing Nitric Oxide in Pre-rigor Semimembranosus Pork Muscles
(2019-07-12)
Curing meat products requires sodium nitrite to generate residual nitrite for preservation and development of a pink cured meat color. This study investigated the use of the essential amino acid L-arginine to activate the ...
Vision Based Joint Angle Estimation of Robotic Plasma Medicine Devices
(2019-07-12)
This study proposes a vision-based algorithm for joint angle estimation of robotic plasma medicine devices with a steerable tip joint. The algorithm uses ArUco markers of size 4x4 because of their robust and fast detection. ...
A Single Stage High-Frequency Rectifier for EV Charging Applications
(2019-06-13)
In this work, a single-stage three-phase rectifier topology with high-frequency isolation for EV (Electric Vehicle) fast-charging stations is proposed. By using a multipulse approach, low-order harmonics in the input current ...
