Qualitative Characterization of Single-event Transient and Latchup Trends in 180 nm CMOS Technology (2011-04-15)Department: Electrical EngineeringSingle-event upsets and errors are of growing concern as technology scales toward smaller transistor sizes. While smaller transistors allow for greater on-chip integration, this comes with the penalties of reduced supply ...

(2012-06-05)Department: Biomedical EngineeringCell motility plays an important role in development, wound healing and cancer progression. A fundamental unresolved challenge in the field is to obtain reliable measures of motility metrics from single cells and then ...
-
(2014-11-24)Department: Chemical and Physical BiologyIntratumor heterogeneity underlies the failure of targeted cancer therapy. The origins of this phenotypic variability derive from the coincident contributions of genetic, non-genetic, and stochastic factors. However, few ...
-
(2016-11-29)Department: Cancer BiologyIn spite of recent advances in therapy, cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Therapy response is often unpredictable and relapse frequently occurs. In many cases, this therapy resistance is attributed to ...
-
(2012-04-21)Department: Electrical EngineeringLevodopa remains the most effective medication for Parkinson’s disease. Prolonged use of levodopa leads to a side effect called dyskinesia that is characterized by abnormal involuntary movements. The assessment of dyskinesia ...
