Integrated Circuit / Microfluidic Chip for Programmable Cell and Droplet Manipulation with Dielectrophoresis
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2008)
We present an integrated circuit/microfluidic chip that traps and moves individual living biological cells and chemical droplets along programmable paths using dielectrophoresis (DEP). Our chip combines the biocompatibility ...
Incorporation of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles and Quantum Dots into Silica Microspheres
(American Chemical Society, 2008)
We describe the synthesis of magnetic and fluorescent silica microspheres fabricated by incorporating maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (MPs) and CdSe/CdZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) into a silica shell around preformed ...
Emerging methods and tools for environmental risk assessment, decision-making, and policy for nanomaterials: summary of NATO Advanced Research Workshop
(Springer Netherlands, 2008)
Nanomaterials and their associated technologies hold promising opportunities for the development of new materials and applications in a wide variety of disciplines, including medicine, environmental remediation, waste ...
Computational Mechanism Design
(Institute of Mathematical Sciences, University of Singapore, 2008)
Computational mechanism design brings together the concern in microeconomics with decision making in the context of distributed private information and self-interest and the concern in computer science with computational ...
Global Budgets of Atmospheric Glyoxal and Methylglyoxal, and Implications for Formation of Secondary Organic Aerosols
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)
We construct global budgets of atmospheric glyoxal and methylglyoxal with the goal of quantifying their potential for global secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation via irreversible uptake by aqueous aerosols and clouds. ...
A multi-modular tensegrity model of an actin stress fiber
(Elsevier, 2008)
Stress fibers are contractile bundles in the cytoskeleton that stabilize cell structure by exerting traction forces on the extracellular matrix. Individual stress fibers are molecular bundles composed of parallel actin ...
Effects of 2000-2050 Global Change on Ozone Air Quality in the United States
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)
We investigate the effects on U.S. ozone air quality from 2000–2050 global changes in climate and anthropogenic emissions of ozone precursors by using a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) driven by meteorological ...
Photometric Stereo with Non-Parametric and Spatially-Varying Reflectance
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 2008)
We present a method for simultaneously recovering shape and spatially varying reflectance of a surface from photometric stereo images. The distinguishing feature of our approach is its generality; it does not rely on a ...
Flask: Staged Functional Programming for Sensor Networks
(Association for Computer Machinery, 2008)
Severely resource-constrained devices present a confounding challenge to the functional programmer: we are used to having powerful abstraction facilities at our fingertips, but how can we make use of these tools on a device ...
Multiple Bifurcation Types and the Linear Dynamics of Ion Sputtered Surfaces
(American Physical Society, 2008)
We study the patterns formed on ion sputtered Si surfaces as a function of ion energy and incidence angle, and identify a region in parameter space where the flat surface is stable. The boundaries between the stable and ...
