Comparing Online to Face-to-Face Delivery of Undergraduate Digital Circuits Content
(2017-08)This paper presents a comparison of online to traditional face-to-face delivery of undergraduate digital systems material. Two specific components of digital content were compared and evaluated: a sophomore logic circuits ... -
Airborne lidar detection of an underwater thermal vent
(2017-08)We report the lidar detection of an underwater feature that appears to be a thermal vent in Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National Park, USA, with the Montana State University Fish Lidar. The location of the detected vent ... -
Reliability Analysis of Field-Programmable Gate-Array-Based Space Computer Architectures
(2017-04)This paper presents an analysis of the radiation tolerance of field-programmable gate-array-based space computers. The primary failure mechanism studied in this paper is single-event effects due to high-energy ionizing ... -
Modulating motility of intracellular vesicles in cortical neurons with nanomagnetic forces on-chip
(2017-02)Vesicle transport is a major underlying mechanism of cell communication. Inhibiting vesicle transport in brain cells results in blockage of neuronal signals, even in intact neuronal networks. Modulating intracellular vesicle ... -
Four-zone varifocus mirrors with adaptive control of primary and higher-order spherical aberration
(2016-06)Electrostatically actuated deformable mirrors with four concentric annular electrodes can exert independent control over defocus as well as primary, secondary, and tertiary spherical aberration. In this paper we use both ... -
Dynamic performance of microelectromechanical systems deformable mirrors for use in an active/adaptive two-photon microscope
(2016-12)Active optics such as deformable mirrors can be used to control both focal depth and aberrations during scanning laser microscopy. If the focal depth can be changed dynamically during scanning, then imaging of oblique ... -
Multi-Timescale Power Management for Islanded Microgrids Including Storage and Demand Response
(2015-05)Power management is an essential tool for microgrid (MG) safe and economic operation, particularly in the islanded operation mode. In this paper, a multi-timescale cost-effective power management algorithm (PMA) is proposed ... -
Cobleigh hall weather station data, 2005-present [dataset]
(2015-11)This record links to data collected by a weather station operated by the Optical Remote Sensor Laboratory at Montana State University, under the direction of Dr. Joseph Shaw. The weather station is on top of Cobleigh Hall ... -
A Load Profile Management Integrated Power Dispatch Using a Newton-Like Particle Swarm Optimization Method
(2014-10)Load profile management (LPM) is an effective demand side management (DSM) tool for power system operation and management. This paper introduces an LPM integrated electric power dispatch algorithm to minimize the overall ... -
Teaching and learning geometric optics in middle school through the Turning Eyes to the Big Sky project
(2013-06)The Turning Eyes to the Big Sky project offered schools in southwestern Montana a unique opportunity to strengthen science instruction. The project implemented, in a formal setting, a nationally established informal science ... -
Infrared cloud imager development for atmospheric optical communication characterization, and measurements at the JPL Table Mountain Facility
(2013-02)The continuous demand for high data return in deep space and near-Earth satellite missions has led NASA and international institutions to consider alternative technologies for high-data-rate communications. One solution ... -
Correcting for focal-plane-array temperature dependence in microbolometer infrared cameras lacking thermal stabilization
(2013-01)Advances in microbolometer detectors have led to the development of infrared cameras that operate without active temperature stabilization. The response of these cameras varies with the temperature of the camera’s focal ... -
Real-Time Digitization of Metabolomics Patterns from a Living System Using Mass Spectrometry
(2014-10)The real-time quantification of changes in intracellular metabolic activities has the potential to vastly improve upon traditional transcriptomics and metabolomics assays for the prediction of current and future cellular ... -
Radiometric calibration of infrared imagers using an internal shutter as an equivalent external blackbody
(2014-12)Advances in microbolometer long-wave infrared (LWIR) detectors have led to the common use of infrared cameras that operate without active temperature stabilization, but the response of these cameras varies with their own ...
