Static elastic properties of composite materials containing microspheres by Jones, GW

“…Subsequently, we analyse the buckling criterion asymptotically in the limit as the thickness ratio tends to zero by analogy with the WKB analysis of a beam on a variable-stiffness substrate. To model the shell after buckling we consider the simplified case of an embedded shell with a crack around its equator. …”

Image processing for cryogenic transmission electron microscopy of symmetry-mismatched complexes by Huiskonen, JT

“…Due to sensitivity of biological materials to the electron beam of the microscope, only relatively low electron doses can be applied during imaging. …”

Towards a Single Bio-molecule Detector Based on CMOS Nanofluidic Platform by Zikrallah, Ahmed S.

“…Cytokines secretion is a core component of the function of many cell therapy products: It affects the tissue repair capacity of induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) and Mesenchymal Stem cells (MSCs) and the tumorigenicity of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies. Ideally, we would be able to continuously monitor the secretome of these cell therapies as they are transformed and expanded in manufacturing.However, state-of-theart techniques for monitoring typically low concentrations of cytokines require either Mass Spectroscopy (MS) or immunoassays like Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). …”

Biologically inspired visual intelligence for unmanned ground vehicles by Peyman Moghadam

“…Based on empirical evidences, it is known that when human drivers become familiar with the road situations, they prefer to look at the far field where the road edges converge (called the vanishing point) to anticipate the upcoming road trajectory and the car steering with maximal lead time. Based on these findings, vanishing point is considered as a salient and consistent feature during most of the open driving behavior tasks regardless of type of the environments. …”
