In-situ calibration of the water vapor channel for multi-filter rotating shadowband radiometer using collocated GPS, AERONET and meteorology data
(SPIE, 2016-08)The difficulty of in-situ calibration on the 940 nm channel of Multi-Filter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (MFRSR) stems from the distinctive non-linear relationship between the amount of precipitable water vapor (PW) and ... -
In-situ measurements of surface tension-driven shape recovery in a metallic glass
(Elsevier, 2009-03)A new technique, involving nanoindentation and in situ scanning probe microscopy at high temperature under an inert atmosphere, is used to study deformation of a Pt-based metallic glass. As temperature is increased into ... -
In-situ mechanical weakness of subducting sediments beneath a plate boundary décollement in the Nankai Trough
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018-11)The study investigates the in-situ strength of sediments across a plate boundary décollement using drilling parameters recorded when a 1180-m-deep borehole was established during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) ... -
In-situ monitoring of drug release from therapeutic eluting polyelectrolyte multilayers under static and dynamic conditions
(SPIE, 2015-06)The release profiles of gentamicin sulfate (GS) from [chitosan (CHI)/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)/GS/PAA]n polyelectrolyte multilayers were investigated in situ using an innovative lab-on-fiber (LOF) optofluidic platform that ... -
In-situ observations of jetting in the divergent rebound regime for high-velocity metallic microparticle impact
(AIP Publishing, 2020)© 2020 Author(s). Metallic bonding of certain materials can be achieved via high-velocity impact, and this type of bonding is often linked to an intense extrusion of material from the impact site, known as jetting. We ... -
In-situ observations of single micro-particle impact bonding
(Elsevier BV, 2018-03)We study supersonic impact of individual metallic microparticles on metallic substrates, that is, the unit process of materials buildup in cold spray coatings/additive manufacturing. We resolve the moment of impact bonding ... -
In-situ visualization of solute-driven phase coexistence within individual nanorods
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018)© 2018 The Author(s). Nanorods are promising components of energy and information storage devices that rely on solute-driven phase transformations, due to their large surface-To-volume ratio and ability to accommodate ... -
In-solution enrichment identifies peptide inhibitors of protein–protein interactions
(Springer Nature, 2019-03-18)The use of competitive inhibitors to disrupt protein–protein interactions (PPIs) holds great promise for the treatment of disease. However, the discovery of high-affinity inhibitors can be a challenge. Here we report a ... -
In-vehicle air gesture design: impacts of display modality and control orientation
(Springer International Publishing, 2023-09-14)Abstract The number of visual distraction-caused crashes highlights a need for non-visual displays in the in-vehicle information system (IVIS). Audio-supported air gesture controls can tackle this problem. ... -
In-vehicle technology for self-driving cars: Advantages and challenges for aging drivers
(The Korean Society of Automotive Engineers, 2014-03)The development of self-driving cars or autonomous vehicles has progressed at an unanticipated pace. Ironically, the driver or the driver-vehicle interaction is a largely neglected factor in the development of enabling ... -
In-vivo Anterior Cruciate Ligament Elongation in Response to Axial Tibial Loads
(Springer Japan, 2009-06)Background: The knowledge of in vivo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deformation is fundamental for understanding ACL injury mechanisms and for improving surgical reconstruction of the injured ACL. This study investigated ... -

In-vivo time-dependent articular cartilage contact behavior of the tibiofemoral joint
(Elsevier, 2010-04)Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the in-vivo time-dependent contact behavior of tibiofemoral cartilage of human subjects during the first 300 s after applying a constant full body weight loading and ... -
Inactivating Mutations in NPC1L1 and Protection from Coronary Heart Disease
(New England Journal of Medicine, 2014-11)Background Ezetimibe lowers plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by inhibiting the activity of the Niemann–Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) protein. However, whether such inhibition reduces the risk of coronary ... -
Inactivation of Bacteria by Electric Current in the Presence of Carbon Nanotubes Embedded Within a Polymeric Membrane
(Springer US, 2014-10)Uniform conductive composite membranes were prepared using a phase inversion method by blending carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a polysulfone polymer. At 6 % of the embedded CNTs, the ... -
