(2012-04-22)We present a preliminary design for a red-sensitive spectrograph. The spectrograph is optimized to operate over the 600-1000nm spectral range at a resolution of ~2000 and is designed specifically for the 2.7-m Harlan J. ...
-
(2012-05-03)Implantable optical biosensors are being developed as aids for medical monitoring. Such optical biosensors are analyzed for performance in dynamic sensor testing environment. Multi-Frequency Phase Fluorometer (MFPF) is a ...
-
The current market does not contain a low-cost machine capable of building optical surface mounted devices (SMDs). This project attempts to design a machine capable of handling optical parts which are highly sensitive ...
-
Currently in our society, many of the devices we use in our daily lives operate within the restricted and crowded Radio Frequency (RF) bandwidths. Overcoming this challenge presents a unique opportunity to utilize the free ...

(2011-04-29)Crash cushions are deployed at gores and in front of other fixed objects along the roadway when their proximity to the travelled way poses an unacceptable risk to the travelling public. A crash cushion is intended to act ...
-
(2015-11-17)Capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) is a protein separation technique that could help identify disease biomarkers using microliters of human blood serum. Analytical techniques that separate serum proteins with high sensitivity ...
-
(2013-09-19)Synovitis is the inflammation of the synovial membrane and is a common condition in horses. Synovitis can occur with many other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and can lead to joint degeneration if left untreated. ...

(2015-09-22)The Henry Mountains in Utah are home to several small igneous intrusions from the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene. One of the most critical small satellite bodies to the main intrusions of the Henry Mountains is the Trachyte ...
-
(2013-02-15)The presence of emerging organic contaminants in surface and ground water sources poses challenges for traditional drinking water treatments such as granular activated carbon and ozonation with sand filtration. Manganese ...
-
Visual SLAM is a challenging topic because the algorithm needs to be run in real-time and give a precise estimation of camera pose. The field of research become popular after Davison [1] introduced computer vision methods ...
-
(2020-04-16)The Orchestrate project explored the separation of a browsing semantics engine from the other user-visible components of a hypertext or other linking system. This allows more flexibility in the semantics of the links ...
-
(2008-08-19)Sediment samples from Simpson Bay, Alaska were analyzed to determine the influence of earthquake events on the accumulated organic matter. Radiochemical analysis of 210Pb activity in the sediment dated the cores and ...
-
(2020-04-13)Research has shown that perceived social exclusion, characterized by the feeling of ostracism, is considered a stressful event that produces a negative affect. Ostracism, defined as exclusion by general consent from common ...
-
(2013-02-04)Once the most productive and economically important estuary in the US, Chesapeake Bay remains in poor condition after years of over-harvesting and pollutant run-off. The objective of this study was to quantify the demand ...
-
(2012-04-30)The supply chain challenges that the Oil and Gas industry faces in material logistics have enlarged in the last few decades owing to an increased hydro-carbon demand. Many reasons justify the challenges, such as exploration ...
