300,000 to 500,000 annual deaths in the United States are attributed to sudden cardiac failure [1]. While remaining the leading cause of death in industrially developing countries, effective diagnosis remains an elusive ...

Flow fields provide a mathematical model of fluid flows and arise in various fields of science and engineering. Fluid flows are often visualized with streamlines and stream surfaces. A streamline is a curve that is tangent ...

Autonomous Aerial Refueling of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV-AAR) has been determined to be possible through the development of an autonomous system with terminal guidance capabilities for a probe-and-drogue refueling ...

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a phase change material that rapidly changes from an electrical insulator to a conductor at 68 C. Because of this property, VO2 has recently been applied in different fields as a thermally activated ...

Perovskite solar cells (PSC) represents a new promising solar technology with great prospects. Much of research has been done to study and enhance the photovoltaic performance and so far, a power conversion efficiency (PCE) ...

Postural control deficits are associated with increased risk of loss of balance and potential injury. To assess for balance deficits and increased injury risk, there is a need to evaluate postural control during dynamic ...

The industrial gravitation towards data driven improvement methods is absent from university departmental strategies. In order to apply a systems approach to department improvement, data driven quality metrics (system ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective surgical treatment for drug-resistant neurological movement disorders like Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. However, as the complexity of DBS leads increases, the ...

The EcoCAR challenge is a three year competition with a goal of re-engineering a 2009 General Motors crossover utility vehicle to improve vehicle emissions and fuel economy, while maintaining drivability and consumer ...

Overarm baseball throwing requires highly coordinated control of the entire body to achieve maximal performance. Muscles in the trunk of the body are theorized to play a major role in the transfer of power from the legs ...
