He co-invented a welding machine for automated closure of nuclear fuel pins by magnetic pulse welding, in which the open end of a length of cladding was positioned within a complementary tube surrounded by a magnetic pulse welding machine. Seals were provided at each end of the tube, which could be evacuated or receive tag gas for direct introduction to the cladding interior. Loading of magnetic rings and end caps was accomplished automatically in conjunction with the welding steps carried out within the tube.

Świerczkowski had a very migratory career. He was allowed abroad from Poland to study at Dundee University where his work with Alexander Murray MacBeath would later attract the attention of André Weil. He then took up a research fellowship at Glasgow University before being obliged to return to Poland. When the Polish Academy of Sciences granted him a passport to attend a conference in Stuttgart he used this as an opportunity to leave Poland for good in 1961, first resuming his fellowship in Glasgow before taking a job in the recently created University of Sussex. In 1963 he visited André Weil at the Institute for Advanced Study and thereafter, between 1964 and 1973, held posts at the University of Washington, the Australian National University and Queen's University in Canada. In 1973 he left mathematics, moved to the Netherlands and built a yacht in which he sailed around the world for ten years. The period 1986 to 1997 was again spent teaching mathematics, at Sultan Qaboos University. His last post was at the University of Colorado at Boulder (1998–2001). Thereafter he retired to Tasmania.

Denver received the top western seed while WCHA co-champion Minnesota was afforded the #2 seed. Partially due to Denver and Minnesota having not played against one another all season the NCAA took the unprecedented step of placing both WCHA teams in the same semifinal game. This was the first time two teams from the same conference or region would play in an opening round of the NCAA tournament, an occurrence that would not happen again until 2008. Despite their being the top two teams from the WCHA from the drop of the puck it was obvious that Denver was far superior to the Golden Gophers. Minnesota did well to hold the Pioneers to six goals in their 6–1 victory that sent Denver back to the title game. In the championship match Denver faced Tri-State League champion St. Lawrence and were heavily favored to repeat as national champions. Despite that it was the Saints who scored first, less than 90 seconds into the contest. Denver was able to tie the score less than two minutes later and then built a two-goal lead before the Larries cut the lead to one with just under seven to play in the first period. After the second goal against Denver clamped down on the Saints' attack and controlled the rest of the game. In the final 45 minutes of play Denver scored the final 9 goals of the game (an NCAA tournament record) to win by an astounding 10-goal margin (also a record). Team captain Bill Masterton scored a hat trick with two assists and was named the tournament MOP. Denver's thoroughly dominating performance in the two games got five members of the team onto the All-Tournament first team (tied for the most in NCAA history): Marty Howe, Grant Munro, Trent Beatty, Bill Masterton and Jerry Walker with only Minnesota's Mike Larson stopping their bid for a sweep. Additionally George Kirkwood and George Konik made the second team.

On 26 September 1905, shortly before the monograph was due to be published, Ludwig Aschoff wrote an article about Tawara's work. It was subsequently read by the Scottish cardiologist James Mackenzie and forwarded to anatomist Arthur Keith, who was attempting to confirm the existence of the Bundle of His. Despite putting in his best efforts, he failed to locate the structure. On 15 January 1906, Keith wrote a letter to Mackenzie and acknowledged his skepticism about its existence: ""I have given up the search for His' bundle—having come to the conclusion that there is not and never was any such thing."”

Different materials exhibit different amounts of expansion/contraction, with a response that is dependent on the type of ion, as well as the amount of charge. For example, silicon expands by more than 300% when inserted with lithium, whereas graphite expands by around 13%. Carbon fibres expand by up to 1% when inserted with lithium, but only around 0.2% when inserted with potassium.

As mentioned above, many systems in nature incorporate mechanical gradients, and similarly for biomedical implants these gradients can be useful. Many implants are stiff and can cause damage to the surrounding tissues due to this difference in stiffness. This is a problem for instance in microelectrodes implanted into the brain which is extremely soft. The damage caused can create a buildup of fibrous tissue which can then interfere with the signal between the electrode and the brain. Similarly, in knee and hip implants, there is a need for high integration between the strong bone and the cartilage and tissue. Otherwise problems such as stress shielding can occur where the bone degenerates due to the implant having too strong of a modulus.

The vanadium terephthalate MIL-47, first reported by Barthelet and co-workers, is anexample of a metal organic framework consisting of infinite corner sharing metal chains of VO6 octahedra bridged by the linear terephthalate organic linker. This connectivity results in the formation of large diamond shaped channels. The channels in as-prepared vanadium MIL-47 contain some residual guest terephthalic acid and is reported as having the formula V(OH)(CO-CH-CO) and ahydroxide μ2-OH ion forming the infinite chains. Activation of the solid by heating in a tube furnace at 573 K for 24 hours results in deprotonation of the hydroxide on thechains to form a μ2-oxo and oxidation of the vanadium, to give VO(CO-CH-CO) as the formula for the activated material. The activated MIL-47(V) is anhydrous at roomtemperature under ambient pressure, as the channels are hydrophobic, being lined with phenyl rings and with no accessible metal sites or favourable hydrogen bonding positions the channels are hydrophobic.

Thwaites' greatest achievement was in the design and supervision of the construction of Melbourne's underground sewerage scheme, which was at the time the largest civil engineering project in the history of Victoria. He initially gave evidence to the Royal Commission into the Sanitary Conditions of Melbourne in 1889 at which he produced a detailed and comprehensive scheme for underground sewers for Melbourne. While British engineer James Mansergh was brought to Australia to advise on the Sewerage System and proposed a number of design options, a 2011 biography by Robert La Nauze has demonstrated that Mansergh drew strongly from Thwaites' earlier report, and it was left to Thwaites, when appointed to the task, to put the plans into practice and he successfully argued for a modification of Mansergh's proposals by reducing the size of the main sewer pipes and so "...removed a design fault in Mansergh’s scheme that would have led to embarrassing blockages". The large main sewers proposed by Mansergh would not have created sufficient velocity to scour the solids, particularly in the early stages before many properties were connected, and so Thwaites believed they would require manual cleaning. His solution was to reduce the diameter of the mains, and use ovoid section sewers, which had a narrow section at the base that concentrated the flow and therefore increased the velocity. Other changes were the construction of a single pumping station at Spotswood and a single sewage treatment farm at Werribee.

One observation in line with this hypothesis is chaperone buffering, where the activity of a chaperone masks or “buffers” deleterious or destabilizing mutations in a client protein. In "Drosophila melanogaster," reduced activity of "hsp90" resulted in deficient phenotypes caused by mutations in developmental pathways. "Hsp70" in "Drosophila" was also shown to buffer deleterious mutations. Similar results have been shown in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" and "Arabidopsis thaliana". Work in "Escherichia coli" showed that the GroES/GroEL system (aka "hsp10" and "hsp60" respectively) similarly buffered the effect of destabilizing mutations in a phosphotriesterase. The mutation disrupted the fold of the protein, but conferred an increase in efficiency upon chaperone-assisted folding. These results illustrate a model in which evolution can act on the phenotype of a protein while the deleterious effect of the genotype is mitigated by chaperones.

When a vehicle keeps advertising its current location in its BSMs, the RSUs that can hear the vehicle will keep sampling the "Received Signal Strength Indicator" (RSSI) calculated from the transmissions of these messages. These RSUs are called "witnesses" by the authors for the localization algorithm. After witnesses sampling RSSIs for a sufficient amount of time, the localization algorithm will use these samples to estimate the position of the vehicle. The algorithm solves the below formula as an optimization problem where "Mean Squared Error" (MSE) is minimized by varying the vehicle's estimated position formula_1.

With the creation of a dual-element transducer, these filtering methods are no longer critical. This is what distinguishes acoustic angiography from the more generic contrast-enhanced ultrasound. An element centered at a low frequency serves to excite the microbubbles at their resonant frequency, while an element centered at a high frequency receives the super harmonic response of the microbubbles. Since the tissue is excited by the low frequency input and does not produce a high frequency response, the only response received by the dual-element transducer is that originating from the microbubbles. Thus, little to no signal processing is necessary to remove tissue signal from the acquired data.

This process can introduce nutrients, most notably phosphorus, into the Columbia watershed. Both chemical and physical weathering occur, usually together, and this coupling tends to accelerate the other. Precipitation varies across the basin, influencing the amount of weathering and subsequent runoff that transports this material into the basin.

The eQTL analysis determines loci associated with a quantitative trait, where expression studies of loci associated with traits such as allergy are performed, with a functional explanation . Through these studies, an overlap between loci associated with allergy was observed and it loci previously implicated in autoimmune diseases. Thus, in a region of chromosome 5, presents a loci associated with allergic asthma, which is in the path of PTGER4, which encodes a prostaglandin receptor, and poses linkage disequilibrium ( LD ), which is the association between two alleles located near each other on a chromosome, which assumes more frequent than expected at random co-inheritance, as it presents a great LD with other SNPs associated with the disease of spondylitis. In addition, many loci associated with allergies are near genes involved in the differentiation of T helper cells. The association, according to the analysis can be eQTL since said SNP associated gene causes BCL6 expression, a transcription factor that suppresses the differentiation of T helper type 2 cells in animal models.

These cells can be double negative (CD4CD8), CD4 or CD8 and possess strong cytotoxic capabilities. Studies using CD1b tetramers presenting the mycobacterial product glucose monomycolate identified two CD4 TCRαβ T cell populations which differ from the otherwise variable TCR composition of previously isolated subsets, one termed 'GEM (Germline-encoded, mycolyl-reactive)' for their conserved TCR repertoire (specifically TRAV1-2TRAJ9) and 'LDN5-like' (TRBV4-1). These cells are rare in individuals that have not encountered "Mycobacterium tuberculosis".

MIL-53 was first reported with chromium (Cr3+) and shortly after with aluminium (Al3) with terephthalic acid as the linker. MIL-53 is isostructural with MIL-47, the main difference is that MIL-53 only contains the trivalent metal and a μ2-hydroxide bridge whereas the activated MIL-47 is the tetravalent V with μ2-oxobridging. As the activated form of the MIL-53 contains the metal hydroxide chains, the channels are hydrophilic with the hydroxide protons available for hydrogen bonding. When activated MIL-53(Cr or Al) is exposed to moisture, X-ray diffraction shows the material adopts a ‘closed’ structure, due to the strong hydrogen bonding interaction between the hydroxyl groups of the inorganic chains and the adsorbed water molecules. As a result of this hydration behavior, the unit cell volume reduces by ~30%, fully reversible upon subsequent dehydration. Such large structural changes, in response to adsorption of gas or solvent molecules, is commonly referred to as ‘breathing’.

formula_1 is the estimated position of the sender vehicle, formula_4 is the number of witnesses, formula_5 is the RSSI sampled at the witness formula_6, formula_7 is the RSSI that the witness formula_6 is supposed to observe given the sender vehicle's estimated position formula_1, according to the radio propagation model presented by Eltahir et al. Minimizing the Mean-Square Error (MSE) by varying formula_1 gives us the optimal estimated position formula_11. This formula_11 is then compared to the position advertised by the vehicle. If they are different above a certain threshold, it means that the localized vehicle is an attacker node that is currently performing a Sybil attack. Afterwards, the attacker vehicle along with its Sybil nodes (its forged identities) can be removed from the VANET by warning all the victim vehicles so that they can drop all the packets sent by these malicious nodes.

Because the inner element is receive only while the outer element is transmit only, special materials can be chosen to optimize the efficiency and sensitivity of this process. Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) works well as a material choice for the transmitting element because it has a high transmitting constant (d = 300 x 10^-12 m/V) while Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) works well as a material for the receiving element because it has a high receiving constant (g = 14 x 10^-2 Vm/N). Generally, PVDF is not a good choice for an ultrasound transducer because it has a relatively poor transmitting constant, however, since acoustic angiography separates the transmitting and receiving elements, this is no longer an issue.

The Coates cluster is named for Clarence L. "Ben" Coates, who came to Purdue in 1973 to head the School of Electrical Engineering (now Electrical and Computer Engineering) where, for the next decade, he emphasized computer education and the development of computing facilities. He was a driving force behind the high-performance computing and networking plan that led to the creation of the Engineering Computer Network (ECN) serving all of Purdue’s engineering schools. He also initiated a degree program in computer engineering at Purdue. As a research scientist at the General Electric Research Laboratory in New York, Coates developed five patents involving waveform recognition devices, circuit gates and accumulators on computer chips. The Coates cluster continues Purdue's practice of naming new supercomputers after notable figures in the university's computing history.
