Gravity, Dual Gravity and A1+++
We construct the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of the
very extended algebra A1+++ and its vector representation. This theory has an
infinite number of fields that depend on a spacetime with an infinite number of
coordinates. Discarding all except the lowest level field and coordinates the
dynamics is just Einstein's equation for the graviton field. We show that the
gravity field is related to the dual graviton field by a duality relation and
we also derive the equation of motion for the dual gravity field.Comment: 27 page
The non-linear dual gravity equation of motion in eleven dimensions
We derive the non-linear dual graviton equation of motion in eleven
dimensions in the context of E theory
Meeting the Challenges of an Aging Population with Success
With 117,099 people over the age of 65, Franklin County has the second-highest number of seniors among all Ohio counties. Projection data from the Ohio Department of Development indicates that Franklin County's 65-and-over population will grow to 224,340 by the year 2040. Key findings from this report indicate that improved coordination between the complex web of federal, state, county, and municipal resources would have significant impact on seniors' health and quality of life. The report also includes an analysis of the most vulnerable seniors in Franklin County identified at the neighborhood level

The string little algebra
We consider the string, like point particles and branes, to be an irreducible
representation of the semi-direct product of the Cartan involution invariant
subalgebra of E11 and its vector representation. We show that the subalgebra
that preserves the string charges, the string little algebra, is essentially
the Borel subalgebra of E9. We also show that the known string physical states
carry a representation of parts of this algebra
The massless irreducible representation in E theory and how bosons can appear as spinors
We study in detail the irreducible representation of E theory that
corresponds to massless particles. This has little algebra Ic(E9) and contains
128 physical states that belong to the spinor representation of SO(16). These
are the degrees of freedom of maximal supergravity in eleven dimensions. This
smaller number of the degrees of freedom, compared to what might be expected,
is due to an infinite number of duality relations which in turn can be traced
to the existence of a subaglebra of Ic(E9) which forms an ideal and annihilates
the representation. We explain how these features are inherited into the
covariant theory. We also comment on the remarkable similarity between how the
bosons and fermions arise in E theory

Biosensor technology: Technology push versus market pull
Biosensor technology is based on a specific biological recognition element in combination with a transducer for signal processing. Since its inception, biosensors have been expected to play a significant analytical role in medicine, agriculture, food safety, homeland security, environmental and industrial monitoring. However, the commercialization of biosensor technology has significantly lagged behind the research output as reflected by a plethora of publications and patenting activities. The rationale behind the slow and limited technology transfer could be attributed to cost considerations and some key technical barriers. Analytical chemistry has changed considerably, driven by automation, miniaturization, and system integration with high throughput for multiple tasks. Such requirements pose a great challenge in biosensor technology which is often designed to detect one single or a few target analytes. Successful biosensors must be versatile to support interchangeable biorecognition elements, and in addition miniaturization must be feasible to allow automation for parallel sensing with ease of operation at a competitive cost. A significant upfront investment in research and development is a prerequisite in the commercialization of biosensors. The progress in such endeavors is incremental with limited success, thus, the market entry for a new venture is very difficult unless a niche product can be developed with a considerable market volume.NRC publication: Ye
Boron-doped diamond electrode : Synthesis, characterization, functionalization and analytical applications
In recent years, conductive diamond electrodes for electrochemical applications have been a major focus of research and development. The impetus behind such endeavors could be attributed to their wide potential window, low background current, chemical inertness, and mechanical durability. Several analytes can be oxidized by conducting diamond compared to other carbon-based materials before the breakdown of water in aqueous electrolytes. This is important for detecting and/or identifying species in solution since oxygen and hydrogen evolution do not interfere with the analysis. Thus, conductive diamond electrodes take electrochemical detection into new areas and extend their usefulness to analytes which are not feasible with conventional electrode materials. Different types of diamond electrodes, polycrystalline, microcrystalline, nanocrystalline and ultrananocrystalline, have been synthesized and characterized. Of particular interest is the synthesis of boron-doped diamond (BDD) films by chemical vapor deposition on various substrates. In the tetrahedral diamond lattice, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to its neighbors forming an extremely robust crystalline structure. Some carbon atoms in the lattice are substituted with boron to provide electrical conductivity. Modification strategies of doped diamond electrodes with metallic nanoparticles and/or electropolymerized films are of importance to impart novel characteristics or to improve the performance of diamond electrodes. Biofunctionalization of diamond films is also feasible to foster several useful bioanalytical applications. A plethora of opportunities for nanoscale analytical devices based on conducting diamond is anticipated in the very near future.NRC publication: Ye
