Tailor-designed alternating current electroosmotic (AC-EO) stagnation flows are used to convect bioparticles globally from a bulk solution to localized dielectrophoretic (DEP) traps that are aligned at the flow stagnation points. The multiscale trap, with a typical trapping time of seconds for a dilute 70 microL volume of 10(3) particles per cc sample, is several orders of magnitude faster than...

As promising candidate frequency bands, millimeter wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) communications can provide ultrahigh transmission rate to enable vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks for connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs). However, beam alignment is extremely challenging in mmWave/THz due its narrow width fast mobility of CAV. In this article, we propose a new joint communication control ...

alignment of information technology in business increases performance and effectiveness of information technology used in organization’s business and improves goals, strategies, resources, integration, investment and other relevant factors in the business. methodologies used and aligned technology to business always was considered by firms, large and small companies and organizations. until now...

It is now accepted that the visual system integrates local orientation information across space to define spatial contours [Vision Research 33 (1993) 173]. More recently, it has been shown that similar integration occurs for the direction of local motion signals, in different parts of the visual field, if they are aligned along the axis of a spatial contour [Vision Research 42 (2002) 653]. Here...

We report several experiments showing that a Gabor patch moving in apparent motion sequences appears much faster when its orientation is aligned with the motion path than when it is at an angle to it. This effect is very large and peaks at high speeds (64 degrees /s), decreases for higher and lower speeds and disappears at low speeds (4 degrees /s). This speed bias decreases as the angle betwee...

In this article, elastic wave propagation and scattering in a solid medium permeated by uniaxially aligned penny-shaped microcracks are studied. The crack alignment refers to the case in which the unit normals of all cracks are randomly oriented within a plane of isotropy. The analysis is restricted to the limit of the noninteraction approximation among individual cracks. Explicit expressions f...

To conclude that there is a dedicated color motion system, the hypothesis that the luminance motion pathway is processing color motion due to some nonlinearity must be rejected. Many types of nonlinearities have been considered. Cavanagh and Anstis (1991) considered interunit variability in equiluminance, but they found that adding a color-defined modulation to a luminance-defined drifting modu...

We present an algorithmic framework for solving multi-robot path planning problems in general, two-dimensional, continuous environments while seeking to minimize globally the task completion time. The framework obtains its high levels of effectiveness through the composition of an optimal discretization of the continuous environment and the subsequent fast, near-optimal resolution of the result...

We report a new 3D microscopy technique that allows volumetric imaging of living samples at ultra-high speeds: Swept, confocally-aligned planar excitation (SCAPE) microscopy. While confocal and two-photon microscopy have revolutionized biomedical research, current implementations are costly, complex and limited in their ability to image 3D volumes at high speeds. Light-sheet microscopy techniqu...

A dual-plane snapshot POD analysis of turbulent pipe flow at a Reynolds number of 104,000 is presented. The high-speed PIV data were simultaneously acquired in two planes, a crossstream plane (2D-3C) and a streamwise plane (2D-2C) on the pipe centerline. The cross-stream plane analysis revealed large structures with a spatio-temporal extent of 1-2R, where R is the pipe radius. The temporal evol...
