Design of Hybrid Passive and Active Mechanisms for Control of Insect-Scale Flapping-Wing Robots
(2015-09-20)Flying insects exhibit a remarkable ability to fly in environments that are small, cluttered and highly dynamic. Inspired by these animals, scientist have made great strides in understanding the aerodynamic mechanisms ... -
Design of Ice-free Nanostructured Surfaces Based on Repulsion of Impacting Water Droplets
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010)Materials that control ice accumulation are important to aircraft efficiency, highway and powerline maintenance, and building construction. Most current deicing systems include either physical or chemical removal of ice, ... -
Design of Influencing Agents for Flocking in Low-Density Settings
(2018-06-29)Flocking is a coordinated collective behavior that results from local sensing between individual agents who have a tendency to orient towards each other. Flocking is common amongst animal groups and could also be useful ... -
Design of Mixing Pulses for NMR Spectroscopy by Repeated Rotating Frames
(2014-06-06)In protein NMR spectroscopy, homonuclear mixing pulses are used to reveal correlations amongst chemically bonded nuclear spins. -

Design of template-stabilized active and earth-abundant oxygen evolution catalysts in acid
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2017)Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts that are earth-abundant and are active and stable in acid are unknown. Active catalysts derived from Co and Ni oxides dissolve at low pH, whereas acid stable systems such as Mn ... -
Design of the Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers (Army STARRS)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)The Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers (Army STARRS) is a multi-component epidemiological and neurobiological study designed to generate actionable evidence-based recommendations to reduce U.S. Army ... -
Design of Wearable Robots for the Hip and Knee for Gait Assistance with Selective Mechanical Transparency
(2022-03-17)In recent years, research on wearable assistive devices has shown increasing promise for enhancing human mobility. However, several barriers remain to widespread adoption of these devices for practical real-world use. The ... -
Design Optimization and Immune Kinetics of mRNA Vaccines
(2022-05-16)mRNA vaccines allow for rapid development and large-scale production, making them prime candidates for infectious disease outbreak response. CVnCoV (CureVac) is an mRNA vaccine developed to mitigate the current pandemic ... -
Design Principles for Improving Precision and Dexterity of Soft Robotic Hands
(2022-01-05)As robots move more and more into the real world, they need to be equipped to interact with a wide array of objects and environment features while maintaining a gentle touch. Soft robotic end effectors enable passive ... -
Design Principles for Rapid Prototyping Forces Sensors Using 3-D Printing
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)Force sensors provide critical information about robot manipulators, manufacturing processes, and haptic interfaces. Commercial force sensors, however, are generally not adapted to specific system requirements, resulting ... -
Design Principles for Resource Management Systems for Intelligent Spaces
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2003)Human-centered computation is characterized by at least three features: it must be adaptive, reactive, and it must empower the user to configure and extend the behavior of the systems using her natural modes of interaction. ... -
