Time encoded multicolor fluorescence detection in a microfluidic flow cytometer
We present an optical detection technique that delivers high signal-to-noise discrimination to enable a multi-parameter flow cytometer that combines high performance, robustness, compactness and low cost.

Gender-Stratified Gene and Gene-Treatment Interactions in Smoking Cessation
We conducted gender-stratified analyses on a systems-based candidate gene study of regions involved in nicotinic response and the brain—reward pathway in two randomized clinical trials of smoking cessation treatments (placebo,…

Replaying the Fracture Process of a Failed Space Shuttle Orbiter Thruster
The work shows how a failure event can be replayed through fracture surface topography analysis, FRASTA, and how information on load conditions, relative crack growth rates, and fracture mechanics parameters…
