The design and construction of a biomimetic flapping
foil autonomous underwater vehicle is detailed. The vehicle was
designed as a proof of concept for the use of oscillating foils as
the sole source of motive power for a cruising and…

Three related methods are presented for determining the least-cost generating capacity investments required to meet given future demands for electricity. The models are based on application of large-scale mathematical programming decomposition techniques. In the first method, decomposition techniques are applied…

This dissertation is an historical inquiry into the concomitant transformations of architectural discourse and the discipline of architecture in America. It proceeds on the theoretical assumption that the documents produced and used in architecture not only reflect but constitute architecture…

The action of adenine nucleotides on vascular endothelial cells is apparently mediated by the local flow conditions. Because
nucleotides are sequentially degraded from ATP - ADP - AMP -- adenosine by ecto-enzymes at the endothelial surface, it has been
hypothesized…

We present here a first step towards developing a quantitative model that relates investor emotions to financial markets. We used Wall Street Journal articles as a proxy of investor emotions on a "macro" level. We measured the emotional characteristic of…

We have derived a broad, deterministic model of the steady-state actin cycle that includes its major regulatory
mechanisms. Ours is the first model to solve the complete nucleotide profile within filaments, a feature that determines the
dynamics and geometry of…

Significant progress has been made in understanding
some of the basic mechanisms of force production and flow manipulation
in oscillating foils for underwater use. Biomimetic observations,
however, show that there is a lot more to be learned, since
many of…
