Electroadhesive Robots – Wall Climbing Robots Enabled By a Novel, Robust, and Electrically Controllable Adhesion Technology
This paper describes a novel clamping technology called compliant electroadhesion, as well as the first application of this technology to wall climbing robots. As the name implies, electroadhesion is an…

Thick Protective UHTC Coatings for SiC-Based Structures: Process Establishment
A new process to form thick and dense ultra-high-temperature ceramic (UHTC) composite coatings over SiC surfaces is described. Coatings of ZrB2/SiC/(ZrC) thicker than 100 μm are formed by a reaction-bonded…

Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Deep Gray Matter Brain Structures: Effects of Age and Iron Concentration
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of the brain has become a mainstay in the study of normal aging of white matter, and only recently has attention turned to the use of DTI…

High-Index-Contrast AlGaAs Waveguide Scattering Loss Reduction Via Oxidation Smoothing of Sidewall Roughness
The propagation loss of single mode high index contrast AlGaAs ridge waveguides is reduced nearly three orders of magnitude through application of a nonselective wet oxidation sidewall roughness smoothing technique.

Modeling and Verification of Time-Triggered Communication Protocols
We present the basis of the modeling method and discuss two related verification approaches for analyzing complex, real-time distributed systems.

Speech Segmentation and Spoken Document Processing
This article describes different levels of speech segmentation, approaches to automatically recovering segment boundary locations, and experimental results demonstrating impact on several language processing tasks.

Hafnium Reactivity with Boron and Carbon Sources Under Non-Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis Conditions
Kinetic studies of the homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, heat transfer model analyses, and their association with the investigation of microstructural phenomena were used to postulate the mechanism involved in the…

Microarray Evaluation of the Listeria Monocytogenes Infection and Amoxicillin Treatment in Mice
By using Affymetrix Mouse Genome Arrays and biological replicates, the predictive value of liver and blood gene expression profiles previously identified was validated as predictive of Listeria monocytogenes infection severity.

Expression, Activity, and Function of Phosphodiesterases in the Mature and Immature Ductus Arteriosus
We used ductus from immature (n = 25) and mature (n = 21) fetal sheep to investigate whether a developmental increase in PDE activity could explain the diminished cAMP accumulation that follows…

Mitochondrial DNA Content: Its Genetic Heritability and Association with Renal Cell Carcinoma
The extent to which mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content (also termed mtDNA copy number) in normal human cells is influenced by genetic factors has yet to be established. In addition, whether…
