Abstract: An apparatus for an autonomous vehicle may include a plurality of sensors and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may be configured to receive a trip plan via including a pick-up location, a drop-off location, an identity of the passenger, and control parameters, execute the trip plan according to the pick-up location, the drop-off location, the identity of the passenger, and the control parameters, receive sensor data from the plurality of sensors, and analyze the sensor data in relation to a criteria profile to determine whether compliance boundaries of the criteria profile have been violated. The criteria profile may be generated based on the trip plan and may indicate compliance boundaries for the trip plan. The processing circuitry may be further configured to send an alert in response to determining that the sensor data indicates that a violation of a compliance boundary of the criteria profile has occurred.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems using ADAM30 as a biomarker to help early diagnosis of congenital malformed vasculatures in children and which can also serve as a companion diagnostic biomarker for malformed vasculatures, as well as a subpopulation of cancer cells, wherein blockage of activity of ADAM30 by a neutralized antibody or inhibitor can be used as a treatment strategy for those ADAM30-positive vascular endothelial cells and cancer cells.

Abstract: A polymer-protein core-shell nanoparticle is generally provided. In one embodiment, the polymer-protein core-shell nanoparticle includes a pyridinyl group grafted polymer assembled with a protein or a glycoprotein based antigen to form a core-shell particle. A method is also generally provided for treating an infected organism. In one embodiment, the method includes administering the polymer-protein core-shell nanoparticle to the infected organism.

Abstract: A new vibration test-cell that allows a static load to be applied simultaneously with lateral vibration coupled with in-situ microscopy that allows for the ability to open a fatigue crack up to a desired gap, as well as generate acoustic emission (AE) from vibration excitation, micro-fracture events are captured by the AE measurement while the physical observation of the crack faying surfaces is performed in-situ with an optical microscope embedded in the test cell.
