Flexible electronics processing techniques were applied to integrate a glucose sensor with a hormone-delivery catheter in order to create a cheap and minimally invasive method for patients with type 1 diabetes to continually monitor and control their blood sugar levels. Ultimately, this work intends to move toward the development of...
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) aerogels are coated with thin conformal layers of Al₂O₃ using
atomic layer deposition to form hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposites. Electron probe
microanalysis and scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated the Al₂O₃ penetrated more
than 1500 μm into the aerogel for extended precursor pulse and exposure/purge times. The
measured profile...
This study details the use of printing and other additive processes to fabricate a novel amperometric glucose sensor. The sensor was
fabricated using a Au coated 12.7 μm thick polyimide substrate as a starting material, where micro-contact printing, electrochemical
plating, chloridization, electrohydrodynamic jet (e-jet) printing, and spin coating were used...

Sustained time series have provided compelling evidence for progressive acidification of the
surface oceans through exchange with the growing atmospheric reservoir of carbon dioxide. However,
few long-term programs exist, and extrapolation of results from one site to larger oceanic expanses is
hampered by the lack of spatial coverage inherent to...

Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) supports a valuable commercial fishery along the Pacific coast of North America. In recent decades the fishery has intensified significantly, with most crab landed during the first six weeks of the seven-month season. Management approaches to slow this intensifying and dangerous race have been elusive. This...

We examined short-term (24–72 h) responses of naturally occurringmarine N2 fixing microorganisms (termed diazotrophs) to abrupt increases in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in seawater during nine incubation experiments conducted between May 2010 and September 2012 at Station ALOHA (A Long-term Oligotrophic Habitat Assessment) (22°45′N, 158°W) in the...
