Welcome to OpenBU
The Boston University Institutional Repository contains documents and publications authored or co-authored by BU faculty, students, and staff.
OpenBU is an open access repository, which means that the full text of the work deposited here is freely accessible to the world via the web. Access is restricted only in unavoidable instances, for example where publisher copyright restrictions prevail. However over 90% of scholarly publishers worldwide now allow some version of the documents they publish to be made available in a repository such as this.
If you are looking for information on BU's opt-out open access policy, please visit the BU Open Access website.

Experimental demonstration of single neuron specificity during underactuated neurocontrol
(2020)Population-level neurocontrol has been advanced predominately through the miniaturization of hardware, such as MEMS-based electrodes. However, miniaturization alone may not be viable as a method for single-neuron resolution ... -
Sensitivity to interaural time differences across sound frequency: models of auditory-brainstem neurons
(2020)Normal-hearing listeners can locate sound sources, using binaural cues for azimuth angle. These binaural differences in the timing and intensity of sound arriving at the two ears, interaural time differences (ITDs) and ... -
From single particle polarizability to asembling and imaging hierarchical materials
(2020)High performance natural materials typically employ highly tuned structures spanning the nanoscopic to macroscopic length scales. Synthetically recapitulating this degree of complexity has become a unifying goal connecting ... -
Motion planning and control for safety-critical systems
(2020)Motion planning and controller design are essential in many autonomous applications, such as self-driving cars, surveillance with drones, and assistive robotics for home or medical applications. In these areas, the dynamical ... -
Acoustic and videoendoscopic techniques to improve voice assessment via relative fundamental frequency
(2020)Quantitative measures of laryngeal muscle tension are needed to improve assessment and track clinical progress. Although relative fundamental frequency (RFF) shows promise as an acoustic estimate of laryngeal muscle tension, ... -
Development of single-particle counting assays with interferometric reflectance imaging
(2020)Biomarkers are biological measures used for clinical assessment, whether an individual has a particular medical condition or to monitor and predict health states in individuals. Sensitive detection and quantification of ... -
Interrogation of nanostructured soft materials & interfaces from fundamental to emergent properties
(2020)The emergence of nanotechnology and nanoscience was largely due to the development of instruments that enabled sensing and manipulating materials at the nanoscale. Characterization at this scale is necessitated because ... -
Cathode polarization effects in rare Earth nickelate cathodes for solid oxide fuel cells
(2020)The US navy has a critical need for air independent advanced electric power sources to replace batteries in unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs). Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are being considered as one potential replacement ... -
Fab-on-a-chip: a MEMS approach to nanofabrication
(2020)Modern semiconductor fabs are multi-billion dollar systems capable of producing devices with features as small as 7 nm for a cost of nano-dollars each. The nanoscale devices they fabricate have reshaped the world. Whole ... -
Probabilistic metabolic modeling of microbial communities
(2020)Microbial communities (microbiomes) comprise a vast component of life on our planet. They are involved in many fundamental processes, ranging from balancing global biogeochemical cycles to influencing human health. Recently, ...
