Abstract

The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is an instrument for measuring, in fact “seeing”, phenomena at nanoscale (10−9m) and all the way down to the atomic scale (<10−10m). It was borne out of a need to observe physical reality below the resolution of optical microscopes. Invented in 1986 by Binnig, it has aided scientists, researchers, and engineers spanning many scientific and industrial domains. The typical sensing apparatus of the AFM is a very sharp tip (a few atoms wide) attached to the free-end of a fixed-free micro-beam.

Abstract

Coherent structures (CS), i.e., regions of flowing fluid that exhibit significant spatio-temporal coherence, have long been observed in turbulent fluid flow. These CS offer an opportunity to gain insights on fluid behaviour by bypassing the non-linear complexities associated with turbulent flows. Historically, the identification of CS in turbulent flows has involved using manual thresholds to label regions of interest.

Abstract

Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of injury-induced death and disability. For patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI), in the first 48 hours, 48% of patients show a clinically relevant neurological worsening and therefore, it is critical that clinicians can identify neurological worsening quickly and act on treatment accordingly. 

Abstract

Self-powered, flexible, and uncooled mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) detectors based on photothermoelectric (PTE) mechanism are promising in the next-generation wearable Internet of Things (IoT). The photovoltage of PTE detectors is controlled by the Seebeck coefficient and temperature difference under local or global illumination. Previous PTE detectors show a less outstanding performance enhancement, and rare papers report their potential applications.

Abstract

Muscle Torque Generators (MTGs) have been developed as an alternative to muscle-force models, reducing the complexity of muscle-force models to a single torque at the joint. Current MTGs can only be applied to single Degree of Freedom (DOF) joints, leading to complications in modeling joints such as the shoulder. Therefore, this project aimed to develop, for the first time, an MTG model that accounts for the coupling between 2 DOF at the shoulder joint.
