Ultrasound Brain Tomography

— The general purpose of this document is to develop a lightweight, portable ultrasound computer tomography (USCT) system that enables noninvasive imaging of the inside of the human head with high resolution. The goal is to...

Probability and output analysis of asymmetric bistable energy harvesters subjected to Gaussian white noise

Due to their excellent broadband response and high sensitivity to low-amplitude excitations, there is significant interest in the theoretical analysis and experimental validation of bistable energy harvesters (BEHs). However...

Multiple solutions of asymmetric potential bistable energy harvesters
In this paper, we investigate the multiple solutions of nonlinear asymmetric potential bistable energy harvesters (BEHs) under harmonic excitations. Basins of attraction under certain excitations explain the existence of...
Responses of bistable piezoelectric-composite energy harvester by means of recurrences

In this paper we examine the modal response of a bistable electro-mechanical energy harvesting device based on characterization of the experimental time-series. A piezoelectric element attached to a vibrating bistable...

Selection on synonymous sites

Although translational selection to favour codons that match the most abundant tRNAs is not readily observed in humans, there is nonetheless selection in humans on synonymous mutations. We hypothesize that much of this...

Is AI Augmenting or Substituting Humans?
In this paper, the authors focus on Artificial Intelligence as a tangible technology that is designed to sense, comprehend, act, and learn. There are two manifestations of AI in the medical service: an algorithm that analyzes...
Optimal exercise of jointly held real options
This paper provides a two-stage decision framework in which two or more parties exercise a jointly held real option. We show that a single party’s timing decision is always socially efficient if it precedes bargaining on the...

Leaders and followers in hot IPO markets
We model the dynamics of going public within an IPO wave. The model predicts that firms with better growth opportunities can find it optimal to go public early and accept underpricing of their issues to signal quality. Data...
Mastication-Enhanced Taste-Based Classification of Multi-Ingredient Dishes for Robotic Cooking
Chefs frequently rely on their taste to assess the content and flavor of dishes during cooking. While tasting the food, the mastication process also provides continuous feedback by exposing the taste receptors to food at various...
Heat Capacity of Drained Peat Soils
Soil-specific heat capacity (cp) and volumetric heat capacity (Cv) are recognized as a fundamental soil property essential for the accurate prediction of soil temperature and heat flow. This study presents the analysis...

Enriching WPCs and NFPCs with Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene, with their unique mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, and wettability properties, are very effective fillers for many types of composites. Recently, a number of studies have shown that...

Metabolic Control of Smoldering Neuroinflammation.
Compelling evidence exists that patients with chronic neurological conditions, which includes progressive multiple sclerosis, display pathological changes in neural metabolism and mitochondrial function. However, it is unknown...
Birds Drinking Alcohol
Ethanol is a natural by-product of the fermentation process of fruit sugars and is occasionally consumed by fruit-eating and tree sap drinking birds. Information on this form of alcohol consumption features in the scientific...
