A Hybrid Brain-computer Interface for Intelligent Prosthetics
(2014-12-09)
Over the past few decades, many researcher have shown that human can use brain signals to communicate with computers or machines by using brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). BCI systems can measure the brain activity and ...
Fusion Reactions in Laser Produced Plasma
(2015-12-09)
The investigation of fusion reactions in laser produced plasma has become of great interest since the development of ultra-short pulse lasers technique, which can enable the measurement of not well known fusion cross ...
Using Empirical Data to Find the Best Measurement for Travel Time Reliability
(2014-08-20)
The value of travel time savings (VTTS) is often the largest benefit from transportation projects. As a result, the value of time (VOT) has been studied extensively. Recently, additional attention has been paid to the fact ...
Osteocytes and Bone Diseases
(2015-05-06)
For many centuries, the osteoblast is considered to be responsible for bone formation. It is also believed that an imbalance of osteoblasts (weak) and osteoclasts (strong) is the main cause for bone diseases such as ...
Acidizing High-Temperature Carbonate Formations Using Methanesulfonic Acid
(2015-03-25)
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the most commonly used stimulation fluid for high-temperature wells drilled in carbonate reservoirs due to its high dissolving power and low cost. However, the high corrosion rate of HCl on well ...
Social Navigation in the Pursuit of Self-Control Goals
(2015-05-12)
A number of major societal issues today stem from individual-level struggles with self-control. To this point, much self-control research has focused on the intra-psychic interplay between an isolated individual and the ...
Vibration and Structural Response of Hybrid Wind Turbine Blades
(2011-02-22)
Renewable energy is a serious alternative to deliver the energy needs of an increasing world population and improve economic activity. Wind energy provides better environmental and economic benefits in comparison with the ...
The Power of Recreational Reading: Youth Developing Through "The Giver"
(2015-04-30)
As youth development researchers and practitioners, it is important to understand various developmental elements that youth experience as well as the recreational activities that fuel their growth and development. A growing ...
Investigations of Atmospheric and Plant Physiological Effects along an Urban-To-Rural Gradient in the Houston Metropolitan Area Comparing 2011 to 2012
(2014-09-02)
This project hypothesizes that changes in climate resulting from urbanization can serve as a proxy for the changes expected from climate change, and therefore, future climate change effects on the biosphere can be estimated ...
Fly-Over: A Light-Weight Distributed Router Power-Gating Mechanism for Energy-Efficient Interconnects
(2015-04-28)
Scalable Networks-on-chip (NoCs) have become the de facto interconnection mechanism in large scale Chip Multiprocessors. Not only are NoCs devouring a large fraction of the on-chip power budget but static NoC power consumption ...
