Cell free production of isobutanol
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-08)With a need for greener fuels, research into production of biofuels is essential. Isobutanol out preforms ethanol in key metrics such as engine compatibility, energy density, and gasoline blending. Current biofuel strategies ... -
Changes in electrical and thermal parameters of LED packages under different current and heating stresses
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)Experiment results showed that the series electrical resistance went through four phases of change; including periods of latency, rapid increase, saturation, and finally a sharp decline just before failure. Formation of ... -
Changes in spectral sensitivity of the human circadian system
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
Characterization of a novel self-powered solid-state neutron detector
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-08) -
Characterization of evaporation kinetics and wettability using a quartz crystal microbalance
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Evaporation of water is ubiquitous, found in a multitude of natural processes and industrial applications. While scientific studies of water evaporation have been performed for over a century, there exists continued interest ... -
Characterization of guanosine based hydrogels and application of hydrogels in microchip electrophoresis for sequence based separation of ssDNA
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)Information about the bulk properties of the binary G-gels led to consideration of possible applications for them. Previous work in the McGown group had found that sequence-based separation of single stranded DNA was ... -
Characterization of two novel thermoresponsive mediums for capillary gel electrophoresis
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-12) -
Characterizing Creatinine MIP Functionality Using Spectroscopy Techniques
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)The availability and timely use of novel diagnostic tools often benefits the prognosis and progression of many common diseases, including chronic and acute kidney disease, through better allotment of scarce treatment ... -
Characterizing the thermal resistance of alternating current light emitting diodes
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-12) -
Chemical vapor deposition and characterization of poly(p-phenylene vinylene) films
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08) -
Chemical vapor deposition of hexagonal boron nitride for the development of neutron detectors
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes were developed for hBN growth on sapphire, (111)Si, and AlN/(111)Si substrates, and (111)Si vertical sidewalls of parallel trenches. Detailed characterizations of the crystalline, ... -
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of heparan sulfates, and investigations of their role in cell signaling, human health and disease
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)Heparan sulfate and heparin are linear polysaccharides, called glycosaminoglycans, which possess many important biological and pharmacological activities. While heparin has historically received most of the scientific ... -
Circuit and system design for shingled magnetic recording

Coaxial rotor hover power reduction using dissimilarity between upper and lower rotor design
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)The present work investigates the power reductions that can be achieved through the use of dissimilar rotors in a coaxial rotor system. The aerodynamic interactions of the coaxial system are modeled using an adapted Blade ... -
Cognitive control of saccadic behavior in the antisaccade task : a model of voluntary and involuntary eye movements
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)An important question now is how does a system based on automatic (involuntary) saccade timing still allow for top-down (voluntary) control, like that which is needed in the antisaccade task? In order to test this idea, a ... -
Combinatorial neural network training algorithm for neuromorphic computing
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)In Computer Science, we have realized that the end of Moore’s Law is just around the corner, and it would not be possible to sustain the exponential increase in computation speed on conventional compute platforms like CPUs ... -
Combining supervised machine learning and structured knowledge for difficult perceptual tasks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)Learning models of visual perception lies at the heart of a number of computer vision problems, including object detection, image description, motion tracking, and more. There are a variety of models which may complete ...
