The optimal design of groundwater circulation wells (GCWs) is challenging. The key to purifying groundwater using this technique is its proficiency and productivity. However, traditional numerical simulation methods are limited by long modeling times, random optimization schemes, and optimization results that are not…

'Scott Schoefernacker'] The interaction between surficial shallow aquifers of poorer quality and semi-confined water-supply aquifers poses a potential risk for degradation of the water supply. Groundwater engineers and hydrogeologists use groundwater models to synthesize field data, conceptualize hydrological…

The measurement of gene expression using fluorescence markers has been a cornerstone of synthetic biology for the last two decades. However, the use of arbitrary units has limited the usefulness of this data for many quantitative purposes. Calibration of fluorescence measurements from flow cytometry and plate reader…

'Nathalie Sieczkowski' 'Anne Julien' 'Jean Marie François' 'Kevin J Verstrepen' 'Vivek Malhotra'] Fungal adhesins (Als) or flocculins are family of cell surface proteins that mediate adhesion to diverse biotic and abiotic surfaces. A striking characteristic of Als proteins originally identified in the pathogenic…

Lipid vesicles are known to undergo complex conformational transitions, but it remains challenging to systematically characterize non-equilibrium membrane shape dynamics. Here, we report the direct observation of lipid vesicle relaxation from highly deformed shapes using a Stokes trap. Vesicle shape relaxation is…

'On Shun Pak'] Biological locomotion in nature is often achieved by the interaction between a flexible body and its surrounding medium. The interaction of a flexible body with granular media is less understood compared with viscous fluids partially due to its complex rheological properties. In this work we explore the…

Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a powerful technique used to probe the local environment of fluorophores. The phasor approach to FLIM data is a fit-free analysis and is increasingly used due to its ease of interpretation. To date, no open-source graphical user interface (GUI) for phasor analysis of…

— Flippers are essential components of tracked robot locomotion systems for unstructured terrain, especially within a rescue scenario. Achieving full and semi-autonomy for such rescue robots is the goal of many research efforts. In this work, we propose an algorithm to plan the morphologies of a small rescue robot with…
