Radiant heating generally addresses all heat emission systems having a share of radiant heat emission greater than 50%, compared to a convector or fan coil where the heat is transferred mainly by means of convection. Recently, so-called infrared-heating systems are discussed as a cost ... Read More
Cilia are slender micro-organelles (200 nm diameter, 10 µm long) that generate propagating waves to propel cells or move fluid. The cytoskeletal structure of the cilium (the axoneme) consists of 9 outer microtubule doublets and 2 central microtubule singlets. Outer doublets are connected ... Read More
It is a fact that IEC 60287 standard introduces important errors in the computation of the armor losses of submarine three-core lead sheathed armored cables, since the twisting of phases and armor wires is not considered. This results in an overestimation of cable size, and hence its ... Read More
Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can significantly affect the quality of the metal powder used in power bed fusion additive manufacturing, leading to variations in the integrity of finished components. It is therefore important to monitor and minimize the exposure ... Read More
Energy performances and building energy quality can be achieved by high performance envelopes. In this paper the thermal performance of a naturally ventilated façade, applied to a traditional wall, widely used in existing buildings, was investigated by a transient simulation. A ... Read More
Silver nanoparticles are valuable in the field of plasmonics since silver has a higher field enhancement factor compared to other metals that possess plasmonic properties. The plasmonic properties of silver nanoparticles can be finely tuned to the incident light wavelength through their ... Read More
The DUNE experiment (http://www.dunescience.org/) is an international collaboration of more than 100 research institutes and universities (among them CERN and Fermilab) which is taking the challenge of building the next-generation experiment for the study of neutrino particles. The ... Read More
COMSOL® has been used to compare 2D and 3D model results to quantify what simplifications can be made when modeling thermal bridges. Currently there are suggestions put forward as to when it is appropriate to use 2D vs 3D models to capture the effects of thermal bridges. It is known ... Read More
This paper reports the structural solid mechanic simulation of a MEMS out-of-plane platform that provides thermal and electrical isolation for a device built on it. When assemble, the platform lifted for approximately 400 μm above the substrate level. A mechanical stress analysis is then ... Read More
In a diagnostic system small magnetic beads of about 1µm diameter will be moved along a path in a viscose medium due to magnetic field actuators. Specific ligands on the beads will bound to specific samples. If bound, the diameter and mass of the beads rise and the bead movement is ... Read More
