Micro-Trenches That Retain Trapped Gas Under High-Speed Water Flows (UCLA Case No. 2023-204)
Summary: UCLA researchers in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering have developed a design of microstructured surfaces capable of retaining air pockets under water at flow speeds above 10 knots so that watercraft can travel with a reduced drag. Background: A major challenge limiting efficiency and speed of watercraft is the friction...

New Promoter for Driving Tissue-Specific Gene Expression in Plants
This promoter drives constitutive and/or tissue-specific expression of genes in transgenic plants. A promoter is a specific DNA sequence that regulates the expression of downstream coding or other noncoding nucleic acids. As such, promoters are important molecular tools for agricultural biotechnology. There are two main constitutive promoters currently...

Chance-Constrained Optimization for Treatment of Prostate and Other Cancers in Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy
The quality of IMPT treatment plans may be drastically diminished by uncertainties such as proton range and patient setup errors. If these uncertainties are not figured into treatment planning, the dose distribution that the patient receives may not be the same as the planned dose distribution. New treatment plans, which include optimized software/programming,...
