Controlling Electromagnetic Surface Waves with Scalar and Tensor Impedance Surfaces.
(2013)
The propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves on various isotropic (scalar) impedance surfaces have been studied for some time, in order to control surface waves and leaky-wave radiation. One and two dimensional ...
Development of a Time-Resolved Laser-Induced Fluorescence Technique for Nonperiodic Oscillations
(2016)
Time-resolved measurements of ion dynamics could be key to understanding the physics of instabilities, electron transport, and erosion in Hall thrusters. Traditional measurements of the ion velocity distribution in Hall ...
Finite Element Modeling of Longitudinal Metastructures for Passive Vibration Suppression
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2016-01-01)
Nanostructured Semiconductors for Thermoelectric Energy Conversion: Synthesis and Transport Properties.
(2013)
Half-Heusler (HH) alloys are among the most popular material systems for high temperature thermoelectric energy conversion. Approaches to increase the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of HH range from (1) chemical ...
Bubble Dynamics and Acoustic Droplet Vaporization in Gas Embolotherapy.
(2014)
Gas embolotherapy is a twist on traditional catheter based embolotherapy approaches. Localized gas bubbles generated are used in place of solid emboli normally used to restrict blood flow. The gas bubbles are formed ...
Energy-efficient Reactive Radio Design in Body Area Networks.
(2013)
A wireless body area network (WBAN) consists of several mobile devices worn on the human body. WBANs have enormous potential in health monitoring systems as it eliminates the inconvenience of having wires around the patient’s ...
Computation of Surface Catalysis for Graphite Exposed to High-Enthalpy Nitrogen Flow
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2012)
Compartmentalized Photoreactions within Compositionally Anisotropic Janus Microstructures
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2011-03-02)
We demonstrate spatially controlled photoreactions within bicompartmental microparticles and microfibers. Selective photoreactions are achieved by anisotropic incorporation of photocrosslinkable poly(vinyl cinnamate) in ...
Elderly occupants: posture, body shape, and belt fit
(University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Transportation Research Institute, 2013-08)
A laboratory study was conducted to quantify the posture, body shape, and safety belt fit of 200 adults with a wide range of age, stature, and body weight. Body and belt landmark data were gathered as participants sat in ...
Human Intent Prediction Using Markov Decision Processes
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2012)
