Download PDF Frontiers of Engineering December 1, 2008 Volume 38 Issue 4 Winter 2008 issue of The Bridge on Frontiers of Engineering Articles In This Issue Cognitive Engineering Applications in Health Care Monday, December 1, 2008 AuthorAnn m. Bisantz Cognitive engineering methods can improve human performance in the complex health care environment. The goal of cognitive engineering is to support the cognitive activities associated with behavior, particularly in complex working environments, through the design of system components, such as user ... Driving Attention: Cognitive Engineering in Designing Attractions and Distractions Monday, December 1, 2008 AuthorJohn D. Lee A driver's attention is a limited, critical resource that can be compromised by distractions. Driving confronts people with many of the same demands as other high-tempo, high-consequence, complex activities. People who provide health care, manage power plants, and control aircraft face ... The Role of DNA in Nanoarchitectonics Monday, December 1, 2008 AuthorMihrimah Ozkan and Cengiz S. Ozkan DNA and peptide nucleic acids are attractive assembly linkers for bottom-up nanofabrication. In the last several decades, the scaling of complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technologies has fueled multiple industries, which have produced new industrial and defense ... Roll Printing of Crystalline Nanowires for Integrated Electronic and Sensor Arrays Monday, December 1, 2008 AuthorZhiyong Fan, Johnny C. Ho, Roie Yerushalmi, and Ali Javey Printable microscale and nanoscale inorganic materials, such as crystalline semiconductor nanowires, provide both high performance and air stability. Fabrication of printable sensor arrays on bendable/flexible substrates may enable the development of a wide range of new technologies, including ... Targeted Polymeric Nanotherapeutics Monday, December 1, 2008 AuthorJeff Hrkach New drug-delivery strategies will lead to safer, more effective treatments for previously intractable diseases. This paper provides an overview of steps being taken by BIND Biosciences Inc. to translate innovative research conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard ... Recent Development in Needle-Free Drug Delivery Monday, December 1, 2008 AuthorSamir Mitragotri Macromolecular drugs can be delivered with painless, patient-friendly alternatives to injections. Delivering medicines to patients in a safe, effective, and compliant way can be a major challenge (Langer, 2003). Pills and injections are the most common modalities for administering ... Highlights of the 2008 U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium Monday, December 1, 2008 AuthorJulia Phillips Editor's Note Every year NAE sponsors a U.S. symposium on the Frontiers of Engineering (US FOE). For three days, about 100 outstanding young engineers (ages 30 to 45) from academia, industry, and government laboratories come together to share ideas and learn about cutting-edge research on a ...
