Memory-efficient approximate three-dimensional beamforming by Rypkema, Nicholas R., Fischell, Erin M., Schmidt, Henrik

“…Its key lies in reducing 3D look directions [described by azimuth/inclination angles (ϕ, θ) when considering the array as a whole] to a single variable (a conical angle, ζ) by treating the array as a collection of sensor pairs. …”

An acoustic remote sensing method for high-precision propeller rotation and speed estimation of unmanned underwater vehicles by Railey, Kristen, DiBiaso, Dino, Schmidt, Henrik

“…In negligible currents, and when the UUV turn-per-knot ratio was known, measuring motor noise produced speed predictions within the error range of the vehicle's inertial navigation system's reported speed. …”

Fast and accurate variant identification tool for sequencing-based studies by Gaston, Jeffry M., Alm, Eric J., Zhang, An-Ni

“…Results We present QuickVariants, a bioinformatics tool that effectively summarizes variant information from read alignments and identifies variants. When tested on diverse bacterial sequencing data, QuickVariants demonstrates a ninefold higher median speed than bcftools, a widely used variant identifier, with higher accuracy in identifying both point mutations and indels. …”

Combining Acoustic Bioprinting with AI-Assisted Raman Spectroscopy for High-Throughput Identification of Bacteria in Blood by Safir, Fareeha, Vu, Nhat, Tadesse, Loza F., Firouzi, Kamyar, Banaei, Niaz, Jeffrey, Stefanie S., Saleh, Amr. A. E., Khuri-Yakub, Butrus (Pierre) T., Dionne, Jennifer A.

“…We demonstrate rapid printing of 2 pL droplets from solutions containing S. epidermidis, E. coli, and blood; when they are mixed with gold nanorods (GNRs), SERS enhancements of up to 1500× are achieved.We then train a ML model and achieve ≥99% classification accuracy from cellularly pure samples and ≥87% accuracy from cellularly mixed samples. …”

Assessing Early Stage Design Sketches and Reflections on Prototyping by Das, Madhurima, Yang, Maria C

“…The study finds a positive correlation between sketch quality and understandability, which indicates the importance of sketch quality when using sketches as a communication tool. Results indicate that early stage sketch quantity is linked with design outcomes, though sketch quality does not have a strong correlation with design outcomes. …”

Avoidance of Concave Obstacles Through Rotation of Nonlinear Dynamics by Huber, Lukas, Slotine, Jean-Jacques, Billard, Aude

“…This article introduces a novel approach called the rotational obstacle avoidance method (ROAM) for adapting the initial dynamics when obstacles partially occlude the workspace. ROAM presents a closed-form solution that effectively avoids star-shaped obstacles in spaces of arbitrary dimensions by rotating the initial dynamics toward the tangent space. …”

RoboCap: Robotic mucus-clearing capsule for enhanced drug delivery in the gastrointestinal tract by Srinivasan, Shriya S., Alshareef, Amro, Hwang, Alexandria V., Kang, Ziliang, Kuosmanen, Johannes, Ishida, Keiko, Jenkins, Joshua, Liu, Sabrina, Madani, Wiam Abdalla Mohammed, Lennerz, Jochen, Hayward, Alison, Morimoto, Josh, Fitzgerald, Nina, Langer, Robert, Traverso, Giovanni

“…Vancomycin (1.4 kilodaltons of glycopeptide) and insulin (5.8 kilodaltons of peptide) delivery mediated by RoboCap resulted in enhanced bioavailability 20- to 40-fold greater in ex vivo and in vivo swine models when compared with standard oral delivery (P < 0.05). …”

Electroweak three-body decays in the presence of two- and three-body bound states by Briceño, Raul A., Jackura, Andrew W., Pefkou, Dimitra A., Romero-López, Fernando

“…This formalism poses additional challenges when compared with the analogous well-studied two-body equivalent one, including the necessary step of solving integral equations of singular functions. …”

A Bayesian Approach to Forced Oscillation Source Location Given Uncertain Generator Parameters by Chevalier, Samuel, Vorobev, Petr, Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…Since forced oscillations are exogenous to dynamic power system models, the models by themselves cannot predict when or where a forced oscillation will occur. Locating the sources of these oscillations, therefore, is a challenging problem which requires analytical methods capable of using real time power system data to trace an observed oscillation back to its source. …”
