Design and Development of an Intubation Catheter Integrated with MEMS-based Sensors for Central Airway Obstruction
Airway pathology leads to alteration in fluid flow, tissue biomechanics, and loss of patency. To address this clinical challenge, we developed an intraoperative tool to locate the site of obstruction, characterize tracheal ... -
Investigation of strongly correlated paramagnetic state at sub-Kelvin regime for S ≥ 1/2 systems: Role of disorder and dimensionality
A magnetic system usually orders ferro- or anti-ferromagnetically at temperatures comparable to interaction strength between the spins. Moreover, an interacting spin system tends to order with the increase of dimensionality ... -
Wide Area Measurement Based Cyber-Attack Resilient Breaker Failure Protection Scheme
Breaker Failure Protection(BFP) is a backup protection that comes into action when the primary protection schemes are unable to clear the fault. In power systems, every component has a redundant version to avoid failures. ... -
