Patches As Agents
StarLogo Nova is a powerful agent-based game and simulation programming environment designed for classroom learning. This modeling tool allows students to apply their creativity and replicate real-world phenomena through game-like coding and scientific knowledge. However, the current …

Patches: The EP and Text
… of being black and gay in South Africa. Titled Patches, the project documents my personal experiences that informed and shaped my journey of becoming, especially when there is no guarantee of acceptance. An essential component of this exploration is the role of music as a usable space in the …

Urban scene parsing via low-rank texture patches
… these salient areas using low-rank texture patches. Areas in images such as building facades contain low-rank textures, which are an intrinsic property of the scene and invariant to viewpoint. The pipeline uses these low-rank patches to automatically rectify images and detect and segment out …

Predicting biodiversity loss in insular neotropical forest habitat patches
… changes and vertebrate extinctions in forest patches. Two approaches at different scales were conducted. First, a systematic literature review was carried out on the effects of fragmentation on Neotropical primates at a continental-scale. Second, biodiversity inventories were conducted on …

Design and evaluation of hot melt extruded transdermal patches.
… ibuprofen from Eudragit RS PO-based extruded patches was investigated. The formation of solid solutions with high drug loading (35% w/w) was achieved in relatively stable extruded Eudragit RS PO matrices under dry conditions. However, these systems were associated with limited drug release. …

Automatic patch generation via learning from successful human patches
… Genesis, which learn from past successful human patches to enhance the patch generation process. The core of Prophet and Genesis is a novel learning technique that extracts universal properties of correct code and a novel inference technique that generalizes universal patching strategies across …

The morphology and function of Peyer's patches in the dog
Canine Peyer's patches (PPs) were characterized by immunohistology, alkaline phosphatase histochemistry and electron microscopy. Duodenal PPs were very similar to jejunal PPs, except for the consistent presence of intrafollicular invaginations of the dome epithelium. The single ileal PP had small …

Low-velocity Impact Analysis of Composite Repair Patches of Different Shapes
… the surface area of the patch common. All these patches were compared and an ideal patch shape was found for the model on the basis of stress concentration on the patch. Finally a parametric study was performed considering the change in impactor speed and impactor material on the impact damage. …

Eindeutigkeit der Fortsetzung von Kurven zu Patches oder gestörten periodischen Pflasterungen
… beschrieben werden können, und welche Patches - d.h. also einfach zusammenhängende, beschränkte Ausschnitte einer periodischen Pflasterung - eindeutig durch ihren Rand bestimmt sind.

Effect of lifewave patches on fat metabolism in moderately active women
Lifewave patches are purported to restore the body's electromagnetic field, resulting in increased energy and fat metabolism. PURPOSE: To determine the effects of wearing Lifewave patches on body mass (BM), percent body fat (%BF), VO2 Peak, and mean exercise respiratory exchange ratio (RER) over 2 …

Microneedle array patches for skin hyperthermia and enhanced intradermal drug delivery
Microneedles (MN) arrays are micron-size needle arrays with length generally ranging between 50 μm and 2 mm. When applied to the skin surface, they pierce the stratum corneum creating micropores that can enhance the delivery of drugs into the viable skin layers. MN arrays offer great advantages for …

Induced strain of actuation of surface bonded and embedded piezoceramic patches
… by surface bonded and embedded piezoceramic patches was investigated. The free piezoceramic patch voltage/strain response was characterized using moire interferometry and Twyman-Green interferometry techniques. Moire interferometry experiments were conducted to investigate the induced strain …

Measurement and Analysis of Calcium-Dependent Exocytosis in Giant Excised Membrane Patches
… serotonin are mostly lost from excised patches. Small vesicles that are retained (non-SGs) do not contain substances detected by amperometry. Non-SG fusion is reduced by tetanus toxin light chain treatment, however, it is unaffected by N-ethylmaleimide, implying that SNARE cycling is not …

Design and characterization of flat lens antenna using aperture-coupled microstrip patches
… which are based on aperture-coupled microstrip patches are presented. The lens contains 7×7 elements with a diameter of 71 mm and operates in the X-band frequency range. The lens was experimentally validated and good agreement between simulation and measurement results were obtained. The …

Development of resource-rich patches by soil-disturbing animals in arid environments
… limited resources are concentrated into fertile patches that allow greater productivity than would otherwise be expected. Fertile patches are created and maintained by processes that modify soil topography and interrupt the flow of resources across the landscape. These processes may be abiotic or …

Lymph-targeted intradermal delivery of antiretroviral agents via dissolving polymeric microarray patches
… many drawbacks. Dissolving polymeric microarray patches (MAPs) are minimally-invasive and self-disabling delivery systems that can be employed for intradermal administration of various compounds. This thesis explores, for the first time, the lymph-targeted intradermal delivery of the …

A computational model for transdermal diffusion of lidocaine and tetracaine topical patches
In recent years, transdermal drug delivery patches (TDDP) have developed rapidly. This is because the TDD system has more advantages than traditional drug delivery systems such as oral medicine and intravenous injection. In order to reach the circulatory system of the human body, drug molecules …

Using selectively placed patches of constrained layer damping to quiet home appliances
This thesis introduces a procedure that identifies effective locations for small pieces of constrained layer damping material ( less than 10% of the total available surface area ) that produce significant noise reductions. Work performed to reduce the noise radiation from two real structures will …
