(2009-04-10)Department: Computer ScienceAgile techniques are a promising approach to facilitate the development of large-scale component-based distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. Conventional agile techniques help ensure functional concerns of such ...
-
(2011-11-28)Department: Electrical EngineeringDefects that lie at or near the semiconductor-oxide interface of MOS transistors were characterized using 1/f noise and charge pumping measurements. The frequency, gate-voltage, and temperature dependence of the noise were ...

(N.Y.U. Environmental Law Journal, 2008)Agriculture has long been the Rubik's Cube of environmental policy. Although agriculture is a leading cause of pollution and other environmental harms, it has been resistant to regulation and remarkably successful at ...
-
(Environs Environmental Law & Policy Journal, 2002)Three very powerful and widely disseminated myths, what I call the Three Myths, have obscured the reality that agriculture is a leading source of environmental harm in our nation. Until we can divorce the dialogue on ...

(2017-01-23)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyMechanisms driving persistent airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are incompletely understood. As secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) deficiency in small airways has been reported in COPD ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Medical Center, 2007-05-20)Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is not a new mode of mechanical ventilation, but it seems to be gaining a great deal of popularity lately. Many people find this mode very complicated and think that it is reserved ...
