Designing a gel–fiber composite to extract nanoparticles from solution
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2015)The extraction of nanoscopic particulates from flowing fluids is a vital step in filtration processes, as well as the fabrication of nanocomposites. Inspired by the ability of carnivorous plants to use hair-like filaments ... -

Designing and Interpreting Limiting Dilution Assays: General Principles and Applications to the Latent Reservoir for Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Limiting dilution assays are widely used in infectious disease research. These assays are crucial for current human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 cure research in particular. In this study, we offer new tools to help ... -
Designing and Probing Open Quantum Systems: Quantum Annealing, Excitonic Energy Transfer, and Nonlinear Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(2012-07-27)The 20th century saw the first revolution of quantum mechanics, setting the rules for our understanding of light, matter, and their interaction. The 21st century is focused on using these quantum mechanical laws to develop ... -
Designing Audience-Centered Interactive Voice Response Messages to Promote Cancer Screenings Among Low-Income Latinas
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014)Introduction: Cancer screening rates among Latinas are suboptimal. The objective of this study was to explore how Latinas perceive cancer screening and the use and design of interactive voice response (IVR) messages to ... -
Designing Datalog-Based Embedded Languages
(2023-06-30)Datalog is a declarative, domain-specific programming language grounded in principles of logic. At its essence, it expresses computation on relational data in a manner that is both understandable by humans and easy for ... -
Designing evanescent optical interactions to control the expression of Casimir forces in optomechanical structures
(AIP Publishing, 2011)We propose an optomechanical structure consisting of a photonic-crystal (holey) membrane suspended above a layered silicon-on-insulator substrate in which resonant bonding/antibonding optical forces created by externally ... -
Designing for Incentives: Better Information Sharing for Better Software Engineering
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2010)Software-reliant systems permeate all aspects of modern society. The resulting interconnectedness and associated com- plexity has resulted in a proliferation of diverse stakeholders with conflicting goals. Thus, contemporary ... -
Designing herpes viruses as oncolytics
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Oncolytic herpes simplex virus (oHSV) was one of the first genetically-engineered oncolytic viruses. Because HSV is a natural human pathogen that can cause serious disease, it is incumbent that it can be genetically-engineered ... -
Designing Incentives for Online Question and Answer Forums
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2009)In this paper, we provide a simple game-theoretic model of an online question and answer forum. We focus on factual questions in which user responses aggregate while a question remains open. Each user has a unique piece ... -
Designing incentives for online question-and-answer forums
(Elsevier BV, 2014)We provide a game-theoretic model of sequential information aggregation motivated by online question-and-answer forums. An asker posts a question and each user decides when to aggregate a unique piece of information with ... -
Designing informative securities
(AUAI Press, 2012)We create a formal framework for the design of informative securities in prediction markets. These securities allow a market organizer to infer the likelihood of events of interest as well as if he knew all of the traders’ ... -
Designing Institutions to Deal with Terrorism in the United States
(American Economic Association, 2008)The explosion in the 21st century of terrorist activities by Islamic radicals in the United States, Europe and Asia requires reforming the institutions for domestic counterterrorism (CT) and new international relations ... -
Designing large, high-efficiency, high-numerical-aperture, transmissive meta-lenses for visible light
(The Optical Society, 2016)A metasurface lens (meta-lens) bends light using nanostructures on a flat surface. Macroscopic meta-lenses (mm- to cm-scale diameter) have been quite difficult to simulate and optimize, due to the large area, the lack of ... -
Designing Markets For Prediction
(Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2010)We survey the literature on prediction mechanisms, including prediction markets and peer prediction systems. We pay particular attention to the design process, highlighting the objectives and properties that are important ... -
Designing Novel Semiconductor Nanowire Structures: Synthesis and Fabrication for Localized Photodetection and Sensing
(2015-05-06)Semiconductor nanowires display a wide range of structural and functional diversity, and as such provide a platform for nanomaterials research. At present, a number of nanowire structural motifs have been discovered and ... -
