Microfluidic Systems For Studying Cell Motility
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
It is very imperative to develop new in vitro platforms that can help in studying the complex interactions that occur between cell-Extracellular Matrix proteins and also during the process of cell migration in vivo. Such ...
Attenuation Based Quantification Of Interstitial Lung Disease Using High Resolution Computed Tomography And Correlation With Pulmonary Function Tests
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a chronic and progressive pulmonary disease of the lung parenchyma resulting in fibrotic scar formation of the pulmonary alveoli. The pathologic changes in the lung result in restrictive ...
Detecting Medication Consumption Patterns In Assistive Environments
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2010-11-01)
One of the issues in healthcare systems or medical information systems is the reduction of medical errors to ensure patient safety. Our approach is to develop a cyber physical system which applies different RFID tags to ...
Charge Pump Circuit
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
The sole aim of this work is to show how to generate higher voltages greater than the power supply voltage. This idea is implemented using transistors and capacitors on silicon and is called a charge pump circuit. A charge ...
An Exploratory Study Of Sex Selective Abortion Among Indian Immigrants In The United States
(Social Work, 2010-11-01)
This qualitative study sought to explore the transmission of and motivation for sex-selective abortion among Indian immigrants in the United States. Using a theoretical framework incorporating social learning theory and ...
Neuro Adaptive Control For Aerospace And Distributed Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Nonlinear and adaptive control is generally considered one of the most effective techniques for stabilizing complex nonlinear systems, where linear control techniques may fail completely. Thousands of research papers are ...
Study On The Leakage Current Behavior And Conduction Mechanism Of Porous Low-k In Cu/porous Low-k Interconnects: The Influence Of Extrinsic Factors
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2010-11-01)
This study investigates the influence of extrinsic factors including moisture and impurities trapped in porous low-k (PLK) and defective diffusion barrier on the leakage current behavior and the associated conduction ...
Explorations Of Aspects Of Mixotrophy Using Mathematical Models
(Biology, 2010-11-01)
This work examined three theoretical aspects of mixotrophy, the simultaneous use of phototrophic and heterotrophic nutritional modes, and one practical application. The first study addressed the coexistence of microorganisms ...
Driving Force: An Exploration Of Texan Prius Drivers
(Sociology, 2010-11-01)
The purpose of this study was to examine what Prius owners use their vehicle to tell the world about themselves and to discover whether this varies by gender. This was explored through the lens of situational simulation, ...
Attitudes And Intentional Markers For Behavioral Change In Smokers: Examining The Effects Of Intention On Behavior Change
(Psychology, 2010-11-01)
In 2009, the American Cancer Society (ACS) predicted that, of the 219,440 expected new cases of lung cancer, approximately 169,000 cancer-related deaths would be attributable to the use of some form of tobacco products. ...
