Investigating Hemodynamic Responses to Electrical Neurostimulation
… has steadily risen. With the advent of antihypertensive drugs and non-invasive surgical procedures, such as intravascular stenting, these numbers have begun to level off. Despite this trend, the number of patients diagnosed with some form of cardiovascular disease has only increased. By 2030, …

TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL STIMULATION DOES NOT DECREASE TORQUE LOSS OVER HIGH INTENSITY REPETITIONS
<p>Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation, TENS, has been used widely as an analgesic and ergogenic aid for many years. Compared to other modalities of electrical stimulation, TENS has been shown to provide some benefits in exercise performance by reducing pain and increasing endurance in low …

Modeling of generation and transport of particles in low pressure glow discharges and contamination of wafers
Large particles (tens of nm to tens of $\mu$m in diameter) are problematic in low pressure ($<$1 Torr) plasma processing (etching, deposition) discharges because they can contaminate the product and can perturb electron transport. The role of negative ions in the formation of large clusters, the …
