In video-assisted minimally invasive surgery, visibility obstruction from contamination of the laparoscope lens is a significant challenge. This work presents an innovative solution where a protective gas curtain is generated around the optical lens by directing the insufflation gas ... Read More
The two most commonly used membrane profiles for sound reproduction of the high frequency audio band are the dome shape and the annular shape. The annular (also known as ring) shape has some different basic design features if compared to a dome with the same outer size. For example, ... Read More
During the evolution of multicellularity, cells needed to find a way to self-organise into structures able to fulfil a broad range of physiological functions. Directed cell migration (DCM) is an elegant way to reorder cells and break symmetry based on simple rules and local information, ... Read More
Pasteurisation and sterilisation are crucial thermal processes for insuring microbiological safety and stability of foods. In food industry, microwave (MW) heating enables to treat food products into their final packaging, thus limiting post-process recontamination. During the design ... Read More
Introduction: Polymer materials are increasingly used in machine elements such as seals and plain bearings. In particular, PEEK has gained attention for use in wind turbine applications due to its strength and resistance to harsh operating conditions. However, its low thermal ... Read More
The thermoelectric response of a nanoscale device can be characterized by measuring either the open-circuit thermovoltage or the closed-circuit thermocurrent. While theoretically equivalent through the device's conductance, the thermocurrent measurement offers significant practical ... Read More
Superconductors are increasingly used in a variety of systems, including MRI systems, particle accelerators, nuclear fusion reactors, superconducting electronics, and even superconducting electrical machines. Modeling superconductors involves several challenges, such as the resistivity ... Read More
The investigation into the cooling performance of the UniVessel® SU 10 L was conducted through a series of studies utilizing Conjugate Heat Transfer and Heat Transfer in Solids, focusing on design iterations to optimize the cooling channel. The studies aimed to assess temperature ... Read More
Energy generation from sunlight is a cornerstone of the renewable energy future. In this context, photovoltaic (PV) modules, particularly those based on silicon, play a central role. However, the lack of circularity in the PV industry could lead to millions of tons of PV waste worldwide ... Read More
In the Netherlands, radioactive substances and ionizing radiation are widely used in sectors such as medicine, industry, agriculture, research, education, and energy production. These applications inevitably produce radioactive waste. Under current Dutch policy, this waste must be ... Read More
