Flies with Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Experimental Neurology, 2015 Parkinson's disease is an incurable neurodegenerative disease. Most cases of the disease are of sporadic origin, but about 10% of the cases are familial. The genes thus far identified in Parkinson's disease are well conserved. Drosophila is ideally suited to study the molecular neuronal cell biology of these genes and the pathogenic mutations in ...

Aerodynamics of the Smallest Flying Insects [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 We present fluid dynamics videos of the flight of some of the smallest insects including the jewel wasp, \textit{Ampulex compressa}, and thrips, \textit{Thysanoptera} spp. The fruit fly, \textit{Drosophila melanogaster}, is large in comparison to these insects.

Roll Control in Fruit Flies [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Due to aerodynamic instabilities, stabilizing flapping flight requires ever-present fast corrective actions. Here we investigate how flies control body roll angle, their most susceptible degree of freedom. We glue a magnet to each fly, apply a short magnetic pulse that rolls it in mid-air, and film the corrective maneuver.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study explores aerosol jet‐printed (AJP) surface roughness, its effects on the performance of microwave electronics, and its process contributors. First, an electromagnetic model is vetted for AJP's unique roughness signature. Simulations are built which show process‐induced roughness is as significant as conductor resistivity in driving microwave

Imbalanced Surface Charge Induced Phase Segregation in Mixed Halide Perovskites
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The key factor determining the phase segregation in mixed halide perovskites (MHP) is the intrinsic imbalanced surface charges in the crystal lattice. MHP films with excellent crystallinity and surface morphology can suffer severe phase segregation.
