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. …”

Femtosecond laser interaction with fused silica in surface structuring by Tan, Tong Tat

“…Femtosecond laser has been considered as an advanced technique for microfabrication and micromachining of various multi-functional structures in dielectric materials through multi-photon absorption because of its high-quality and damage-free processing. However, femtosecond beam-glass interaction can be very complex when coupled with the non-linear effect of air and this is not well understood. …”
