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 ... -
