Modern methods of multidimensional display are extremely limited in their depiction of three dimensional environments. Improving upon modern integral imaging displays with respect to viewing angle and angular resolution, ...

In this thesis, we present a novel method to improve the finite element stress predictions in static, dynamic and nonlinear analyses of solids. We focus on the use of low-order displacement-based finite elements, 3-node ...

With initiatives such as edX beginning to spread low-cost education through the world, a question has arisen. How can we provide hands-on experience at minimal cost? Virtual online experiments are not enough. To build ...

Two-phase microchannel heat sinks are of significant interest for thermal management applications, where the latent heat of vaporization offers an efficient method to dissipate large heat fluxes in a compact device. However, ...

Reconstruction of phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing reveals that so far only a tiny fraction of microbial diversity has been cultured in the laboratory. One major reason behind this "unculturability" is ...
