The ability to control and optimize the interactions between light and matter has much utility in engineering design across various fields and particularly in the fields of energy generation and storage. Surfaces that are ...

This project was an attempt to design a deterministic algorithm for dose prediction using cone beam CTs (CBCTs) that could output a prediction on the time-scale of pa- tient setup during proton image guided radiotherapy ...

The population of individuals with transfemoral amputation is expected to grow rapidly over the next few decades. The impact of mobility due to lower extremity loss worsens the quality of life of these individuals. One of ...

Decision-making—whether individual or in groups—can be subject to revision based on social influence, often pulling one’s opinions towards the apparent consensus (Mason, Conrey, & Smith, 2007). Social influence has been ...

In a large production environment, failing machinery is not only hazardous but can be extremely costly in lost time and resources. Specifically in rotating equipment, shaft misalignment is responsible for over 70% of issues. ...

Organ-on-a-chip platforms, referring to microfluidic biomimetic systems, combine cell culture, fluid gradients, and material design to simulate the microenvironment of various human organs. This technology has been growing ...

Liver fibrosis, a characteristic of most liver diseases, results from chronic liver injury in conjunction with the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins1,2. The cellular mechanisms underlying hepatic dysfunction ...

Proton therapy has great advantage over photon therapy in head and neck cancer radiotherapy due to the absence of exit dose from the proton beams. However, proton therapy is much more sensitive to anatomical changes and ...

Infectious diseases, like mumps, flu, or measles, can cause devastating impacts on universities. To protect the community's health, schools must learn how to operate during epidemics. In the light of Covid-19, for instance, ...

Powered exoskeletons are a wearable technology that seeks to use robotic power to augment the capabilities of the human using them. Lower limb exoskeletons in particular are designed to aid in mobility tasks, rehabilitation, ...
