Genome-Wide and Candidate Gene Association Study of Cigarette Smoking Behaviors
The contribution of common genetic variation to one or more established smoking behaviors was investigated in a joint analysis of two genome wide association studies.

Trauma Pod: a Semi-Automated Telerobotic Surgical System
The Trauma Pod (TP) vision is to develop a rapidly deployable robotic system to perform critical acute stabilization and/or surgical procedures, autonomously or in a teleoperative mode.

Self-stabilization in amorphous silicon circuits
We study an interesting property of self compensation in fundamental analog TFT circuits with one a part of the circuit compensating for the effects of VT shift in the other and vice-versa.

On-the-flow absorption and refractive index measurements in a microfluidic device
Measuring the refractive index and optical absorption of an analyte (e.g., fluid, particle, and cells) in a microfluidic device with high accuracy and sensitivity is highly desirable for many applications.

Impact of hydrogen on indium incorporation at m-plane and c-plane In(0.25)Ga(0.75)N surfaces: first-principles calculations
We present first-principles calculations for m-plane and c-plane In(sub_0.25)Ga(sub_0.75)N surfaces.

Silver-clad nitride semiconductor laser diode
An edge-emitting laser diode structure is described in which the conventional upper cladding layer is replaced with a metal contact selected for its optical as well as electrical properties.
-
Spatially modulated fluorescence emission from moving particles
A fundamentally new design for the optical detection system in a flow cytometer is described that delivers high effective sensitivity (i.e., high signal-to-noise discrimination) without complex optics or bulky, expensive light sources to enable a flow cytometer that can combine high performance, robustness, compactness, low cost, and ease of use.

Ultraviolet laser diodes on sapphire and AlN substrates
The performance characteristics of InAlGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) lasers grown on sapphire and low defect density bulk AlN substrates has been compared.

A Consensus Definition of Cataplexy in Mouse Models of Narcolepsy
To establish a common language, the International Working Group on Rodent Models of Narcolepsy reviewed the literature on cataplexy in people with narcolepsy and in dog and mouse models of narcolepsy and then developed a consensus definition of murine cataplexy.
