(2012-04-20)Produced water is a major side product of onshore oil and gas production. This water contains a mixture of organic and inorganic compounds and requires treatment for beneficial reuse. One option for the reuse of this water ...
-
(2012-07-11)Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is a common form of cancer, accounting for 30% of all lymphoma diagnoses. Patient survival rates of DLBCL are roughly 30-40% with the standard chemotherapeutic cocktail consisting of ...
-
(2011-08-08)For forty years, transistor counts on integrated circuits have doubled roughly every two years, enabling computer architects to double the clock speed of processors. Recently, heat dissipation and power consumption trends ...
-
(2012-04-19)Direct-conversion receivers are becoming more and more popular in wireless communication systems because they promise superior performance in power consumption, size, and cost over existing heterodyne-based receivers. ...
-
(2012-04-22)Tactile navigation systems employ the use of ones sense of touch with haptic feedback to communicate directions. This type of navigation presents a potentially faster and more accurate mode of navigation than preexisting ...
-
(2011-08-08)Hearing loss victims suffer from loss of hearing at specific bands of the frequency spectrum. We designed a programmable filter that can compensate for hearing losses at different frequency bands. We design the circuit ...
-
(2010-07-14)The purpose of this research project is to study the signaling pathways of the inflammatory cytokines - Interleukin-1 (IL-1) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) - and investigate any "cross-talk" between the two. IL-6 plays a central ...
-
(2012-05-09)RRTs (Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees) have shown wide applications in robotics. RRTs are a type of sampling-based motion planners that expand to fill the space starting from one or more root configurations. RRTs are excellent ...
-
(2012-04-23)In this work, shape memory polymer neurovascular stent prototypes based on a previously proposed design were thermo-mechanically characterized to expand on the clinical efficacy of the device. The stents were made by ...
-
(2012-04-22)This work provides a detailed analysis of the general Sudoku problem with particular attention given to the first nontrivial case. A formal mathematical model is developed and used to determine several important parameters; ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2011-04-19)The presented research aims to develop an alternative and potentially superior method for diagnosing Glaucoma by relating IOP to deformation in different layers of corneal tissue via Fourier Domain Optical Coherence ...
-
(2012-07-11)Congestive heart failure (CHF) holds millions in the grip of an endless cycle of decreased cardiac output and degenerative remodeling, often with little hope of recovery. Diastolic dysfunction, or failure of the heart to ...
-
(2011-08-08)Due to the pain associated with conventional blood sugar monitoring techniques and the rising prevalence of diabetes, the development of noninvasive glucose sensing techniques is desirable. Towards this aim, implantable ...
-
(2012-05-09)This study aims to explore the evolution of the photovoltaic supply chain in the United States and the drivers which foster growth of the solar market. The study will gather knowledge on the growth of the solar market and ...
-
(2010-07-14)Many problems arising from spectacular error messages involving C++ templates are related to the fact that assumptions made by the C++ standard algorithms are stated in informal comments, not in code that is checked by the ...
