TRANSATLANTIC RADIO CONTROLLED MODEL FLIGHT
Abstract: On August 9, 2003, Maynard Hill launched a radio-controlled aeromodel at Cape Spear, Newfoundland. After 38 hours, 52 minutes and 14 seconds of non-stop flight, the model plane was landed at Mannin Beach, Ireland, on August 11. This flight was the first time a model aeroplane weighing less than 11 pounds had flown across the Atlantic Ocean.

CELL BIOMECHANICS AND HUMAN DISEASE STATES
Abstract: We explore coupling among mechanics, biology and medicine at the cell and subcellular levels by investigating: the molecular changes induced by invasion of parasites or from exposure to chemicals occurring naturally in the human body, the consequent changes in the mechanical response of the cell, and possible implications for disease progression. The two cases considered are: human red blood cells invaded by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and Panc-1 pancreatic cancer cells.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Thermal Management of Nanoelectronics
The rapid migration of microelectronics into nanoelectronics, with the consequent rise in transistor density and switching speed, has led to steep increases in die heat flux and power dissipation. In the absence of new and more aggressive thermal management techniques, nanoelectronic chips can be expected to experience rising average temperatures, on-chip “hot spots” and sharp temperature gradients, leading to accelerated failure rates and an overall loss in IC reliability and performance.

Space Shuttle Technology Forum

The tragic loss of the Columbia and its crew has prompted a broad review of the technologies that underpin the shuttle and the manned exploration of space. At this Forum, Clark School faculty and research staff shared first hand experience and knowledge of these technologies and the trade-offs and risks inherent in the development of spacecraft. Following a series of brief presentations, the Forum opened for questions and comments from the audience.
