A method to control a system of robots to persistently perform a task while operating under a constraint such as battery life is presented. Persistently performing a task is defined as continuously executing the task without ...
-
(2014-09-17)The problem of multi-robot patrol is a growing field of study that focuses on the problem of coordinating teams of robots to optimally patrol a perimeter or area. In this paper, we propose a new method of generating ...
-
(2008-08-19)Carbon fiber polymer composites are utilized in many industries including in commercial and military aircraft and space vehicles because of their lighter weight and superior strength compared to aluminum and steel. Due to ...
-
(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 ...

(2014-10-07)The Standard Template Adaptive Parallel Library (STAPL) is an e_cient programming framework whose components make it easier to implement parallel applications that can utilize multiple processors to solve large problems ...
-
(2021-05-03)Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) often underlie important biological processes. Due to the vast quantity of potential PPIs in living organisms, it can be an expensive if not daunting task to identify each PPI experimentally, ...
-
Prediction models can be applied to hospital intensive care units, or ICUs, in order to improve prediction of adverse patient events through the duration of their stay such as mortality. The current field for mortality and ...
-
(2012-04-24)We present an analysis of the multiphoton excitation and ionization of chlorine oxide in the range 265-275nm. In particular, we identify and characterize different intermediate states, as well as product states. Additionally, ...
-
(2011-04-27)Male and female mating behaviors have been extensively studied in Xiphophorus birchmanni; however the genetic mating system has not been characterized in this species. X. birchmanni is a live-bearing fish, so females can ...
-
(2013-09-25)Hybridization is an important evolutionary process. Hybrid zones can illustrate mechanisms which lead to introgression. Two live bearing freshwater fish, Xiphophorus malinche and X. birchmanni have formed several natural ...
-
The objective of this research project was to design, fabricate and test a multiport reconfigurable antenna for use in a beamforming system. This antenna is designed to be fed by a Butler matrix control circuit which will ...

(2016-05-09)After the successful discovery of the Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), efforts have shifted toward the understanding of the dynamic behind the Higgs mechanism and the implied consequences that can further ...
-
(2012-04-22)Often, both music and architecture reflect a certain zeitgeist of the era in which they were created; the underlying ideas and changing social principles are reflected in the art forms these societies create. This thesis ...
-
(2013-09-26)Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) is the causative agent of tuberculosis. It is difficult to study biochemically because of its slow growth rate and its pathogenicity, which requires BSL3 conditions. The twin-arginine ...
-
Something that is difficult to understand or explain can be described as a mystery. Mysteries excite curiosity, wonder and may even lead individuals to feel a sense of awe. This can be both good and bad but depending on ...
