We demonstrate the fabrication and operation of an integrated device containing a nanoelectromechanical system and an integrated detector. This on-chip silicon nanochannel field effect transistor is used to measure the motion of a silicon nanomechanical resonator at room temperature. Furthermore, we describe the operation of the device as a silicon-based room-temperature on-chip amplifier for i...

SIR,?The lighting of ophthalmic operation theatres has always been a subject 011 which much thought and money has been spent, but even yet the ideal has not been readied. I would call your attention to a simple plan by means of which any operation room, as constructed in India, can be used as a perfect room for eye operations. At some little distance from the side window should be arranged a ve...

Friday 4:15 pm Room 1 One Semester Calculus with the TI-92 Barbara Ashton Faculty: Wittenberg Univ Abstract: In this presentation, I will talk about my experiences teaching a one semester calculus course for manangement and biology majors. The course takes full advantage of the power of the TI-92 calculator. The discussion will include t...

This paper uses insights from behavioral economics to explain a particularly surprising borrowing phenomenon: One in six undergraduate students offered interest-free loans turn them down. Models of impulse control predict that students may optimally reject subsidized loans to avoid excessive consumption during school. Using the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS), we investigate st...

Applicability of two mathematical models in inhalation exposure prediction (well mixed room and near field-far field model) were validated against standard sampling method in one operation room for isoflurane. Ninety six air samples were collected from near and far field of the room and quantified by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. Isoflurane concentration was also predicted by th...

To obtain a natural view of the operation room and autonomous image selection and transformation during tele-surgical operation, we propose a telemonitoring system which is composed of two types of camera systems. One is an active camera system controlled by surgeon’s gesture and gaze direction to obtain natural view image. Another is a fixed camera system that is composed of multiple cameras a...

We conducted an experiment attempting to compare XP with a traditional approach to student software engineering projects. We tasked two groups of student teams with producing a simple room reservation system, one group following a traditional development process, the other using XP. We observed little actual difference between the products delivered by either process. However, in our opinion th...

Picture a first-time participant in a “brainwave” study. He is seated in the recording room, the experimenter shows him his brainwaves, and then leaves the room. The student watches his EEG with fascination until abruptly all the lines on the screen go flat. Does this mean his brain stopped working? His confidence only returns when the experimenter reassures him that she blocked the transmissio...
