Design and analysis of multi-hospital kidney exchange mechanisms using random graphs
(Elsevier BV, 2015)Kidney exchanges enable transplants when a pair of a patient and an incompatible donor is matched with other similar pairs. In multi-hospital kidney exchanges pairs are pooled from multiple hospitals, and each hospital is ... -
Design and Assembly Considerations in the Engineering of Vascular Tissue
(2014-02-25)Native vascular tissue functions are highly dependent on structural organization at the super-cellular, cellular, and sub-cellular spatial scales. We hypothesized that the structure-function relationship of vascular tissues ... -
Design and Assembly of an Ultra-light Motorized Microdrive for Chronic Neural Recordings in Small Animals
(MyJoVE Corporation, 2012)The ability to chronically record from populations of neurons in freely behaving animals has proven an invaluable tool for dissecting the function of neural circuits underlying a variety of natural behaviors, including ... -
Design and Characterization of Hybrid Biological-Inorganic Systems
(2023-03-14)Hybrid biological-inorganic systems have been designed to drive fine chemical syntheses and to interrogate fundamental biology. These systems couple electronic signals to cellular activity, allowing the unique chemistries ... -
Design and control of a parallel linkage wrist for robotic microsurgery
(2015)This paper presents the design and control of a teleoperated robotic system for dexterous micromanipulation tasks at the meso-scale, specifically open microsurgery. Robotic open microsurgery is an unexplored yet potentially ... -
Design and Control of Motion Compensation Cardiac Catheters
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010)Robotic cardiac catheters have the potential to revolutionize heart surgery by extending minimally invasive techniques to complex surgical repairs inside the heart. However, catheter technologies are currently unable to ... -
Design and Evaluation of a Compiler for Embedded Stream Programs
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2008)Applications that combine live data streams with embedded, parallel, and distributed processing are becoming more commonplace. WaveScript is a domain-specific language that brings high-level, type-safe, garbage-collected ... -
The Design and Implementation of IBAL: A General-Purpose Probabilistic Language
(2005)This paper describes IBAL, a high level representation language for probabilistic AI. IBAL integrates several aspects of probability-based rational behavior, including probabilistic reasoning, Bayesian parameter estimation ... -
Design and Locomotion Studies of a Miniature Centipede-Inspired Robot
(2013-10-08)Many applications, such as search and rescue missions, hazardous environment exploration, and surveillance, call for miniature robots capable of agile locomotion in a variety of unpredictable environments. Recent advances ... -
Design and Modeling of Specialized Architectures
(2016-05-19)Hardware acceleration in the form of customized datapath and control circuitry tuned to specific applications has gained popularity for its promise to utilize transistors more efficiently. However, architectural research ... -
Design and Performance of Insect-Scale Flapping-Wing Vehicles
(2012-08-10)Micro-air vehicles (MAVs)—small versions of full-scale aircraft—are the product of a continued path of miniaturization which extends across many fields of engineering. Increasingly, MAVs approach the scale of small birds, ... -
Design and Performance of Microlith Implemented Projectiles During the Middle and the Late Epipaleolithic of the Levant: Experimental and Archaeological Evidence
(Elsevier, 2010)The study comprises an experimentally based investigation of interaction between temporal change in the morphology of microlithic tools and transformations in projectile technology during the Late Pleistocene in the Levant. ... -
Design and simulation of quarantine policy and wastewater early detection against future pandemics
(2023-11-21)It has been widely debated which policies could have been improved to further mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a long history of interventions against infectious outbreaks, yet much is not understood about the ... -
Design and Synthesis of Diverse Functional Kinked Nanowire Structures for Nanoelectronic Bioprobes
(American Chemical Society, 2013)Functional kinked nanowires (KNWs) represent a new class of nanowire building blocks, in which functional devices, for example, nanoscale field-effect transistors (nanoFETs), are encoded in geometrically controlled nanowire ... -
Design and synthesis of dynamically assembling DNA nanostructures
(2014-02-25)Kinetically controlled isothermal growth is fundamental to biological development, but it remains challenging to rationally design molecular systems that self-assemble isothermally into complex geometries via prescribed ... -
Design and Test Strategies for Microarchitectural PostFabrication
(2008)Process variations are the major hurdle for continued technology scaling. Both systematic and random variations will affect the critical delay of fabricated chips, causing a wide frequency and power distribution. Tuning ... -
Design considerations for an active soft orthotic system for shoulder rehabilitation
(IEEE, 2011)Strokes affect over 750,000 people annually in the United States. This significant and disabling condition can result in paralysis that must be treated by regular sessions with a dedicated physical therapist in order to ... -
