Simulation, Design, Fabrication, and Testing of a Mems Resettable Circuit Breaker
We describe a novel concept for a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resettable circuit breaker. The concept involves fabricating the circuit breaker and the reset switch using a single microcantilever.

Use of CR-39 Detectors to Determine the Branching Ratio in Pd/D Co-deposition
These analyses identified and quantified the energetic particles responsible for the tracks observed in the CR-39 detectors and made it possible to estimate the branching ratios of the primary and…

Air Plasma-Material Interactions at the Oxidized Surface of the PM1000 Nickel-Chromium Superalloy
We present an experimental study on the interactions between PM1000, an oxide dispersion strengthened nickel-chromium superalloy, and air plasma at surface temperatures between 1000 and 1600 K and pressures of 1500,…

The Feasibility of Assessing Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolism in Cellular Models of Prostate Cancer with Hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]-Ketoisocaproate
Our goals were to investigate branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT) activity in prostate cancer with a novel molecular probe, hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]-2-ketoisocaproate ([1-(13)C]-KIC), and explore the potential of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism…

Conceptual Models of Energy Transfer and Regulation
We consider a representation of energy transfer and regulation for biological processes, and consider several example questions that can be answered using this representation.

5′-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) Supports the Growth of Aggressive Experimental Human Breast Cancer Tumors
Here, we used triple-negative human breast cancer cells in which AMPK activity had been knocked down to investigate the contribution of AMPK to experimental tumor growth and core glucose metabolism.
