We demonstrate by use of automated electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) the rapid growth of grains in non-passivated, sputtered Al-1Si interconnects during...
The ability to image complex general three-dimensional (3D) structures, including re-entrant surfaces and undercut features using scanning probe microscopy, is...
A homogenization method combining the Eshelby equivalent eigenstrain approach and the phase-field microelasticity for numerically solving the eigenstrain, is...
A mathematical model, based on thermodynamics, was developed to demonstrate the substrate mechanics influences the cell morphology and migration. The mechanisms...

The theory of quantum electrodynamics predicts that beta decay of the neutron into a proton, electron, and antineutrino should be accompanied by a continuous...
Scientific knowledge of the brain and technology of intelligent systems have developed to a point where a computational theory of mind is feasible. This paper...
Sensor-centric navigation of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) operating in rugged and expansive terrains requires the competency to evaluate the utility of...
Using the Common Industry Format ( CIF) to specify usability measures can positively influence the development process. The CIF remains inherently flexible and...
