Development Of SU-8 And PDMS Miniatured Boats And Flotillas
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
In this work, we developed miniaturized SU-8 and PDMS miniaturized boats and flotillas, and explored their designs, fabrication, actuation, motions and driving mechanisms. Like large-scale boats and flotillas, these ...
Performance Analysis Of Space - Time Block Coded Multiple Antenna Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Multiple input and multiple output(MIMO) communications are seen as key technology to achieve high data rates for next generation of air interfaces like Wifi, WiMAX, and 3GPP-LTE, because of the spatial dimension complementing ...
Multi Objective Optimization Of Graphite Heat Spreader For Portable Systems Application
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The advancement made in portable electronic systems has primarily been due to miniaturization of electronic systems. This in turn leads to an increase in power density which leads to higher temperatures and formation of ...
Thermal Tolerance, Physiologic Condition, And Population Genetics Of Dreissenid Mussels (Dreissena polymorpha and D. rostriformis bugensis) Relative To Their Invasion Of Waters In The Western United States
(Biology, 2010-03-03)
Zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, and quagga mussels, D. rostriformis bugensis, Eurasian freshwater bivalves, invaded the North American (NA) Great Lakes in the mid 1980's. Subsequently, they invaded water bodies east ...
Diversity And Community Organization In The Periphyton Of Recirculating Streams Channels Are Defined By Current Velocity And Nutrient Supply
(Biology, 2010-03-03)
In a series of experiments taking place in recirculating artificial stream channels, periphyton communities growing on ceramic tiles were subjected to variations in current velocity and nutrient supply. The first experiment ...
