In 2014, it was estimated that there are between 6 to 7 million people worldwide infected by Chagas disease and approximately 25 million people are currently at risk. The parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) causes this disease and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) it can ... Read More
New drug discovery and development is costly; of all compounds investigated for use in humans, only a small fraction is approved for treatments around the world. The pharmaceutical industry has started switching from molecular drugs to protein-based drugs due to high specificity, ... Read More
Magnetic nanoparticles have diverse applications ranging from contamination control to medical diagnosis and treatment. Small airborne particulate matter (PM) is known to have adverse impacts to human health,, due to its high mobility when penetrating human respiratory systems [1,2,3]. ... Read More
The Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) is an electric space propulsion concept being studied that utilizes a helicon source to generate a plasma and metal grids from inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion experiments to accelerate ions, generating a ...

The objective of the research is to design a broadband energy harvester device through the multi-beam approach and non-linear trapezoidal geometry approach. The performance of two piezoelectric PZT-PZN polycrystalline ceramic composition samples are simulated in COMSOL Multiphysics®, and ... Read More
PECM is a necessary extension to traditional ECM for some high-performance materials. Electrolyte flow in the inter-electrode gap (IEG) can be assisted using a magnetic field to allow higher currents, but this creates a magnetohydrodynamic flow. This paper presents a study of flow ... Read More
A three-dimensional model of particle saltation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is presented. This model domain reproduces a flat and irregular terrain with uniform roughness. The domain extends 2 m in X, 0.5 m in Y and 0.5 in Z for both cases. The model includes the motion of ... Read More
This paper presents the use of COMSOL's Conjugate Heat Transfer capabilities to model the coupled conduction, convection and surface-to-surface radiation heat transfer in a combustion chamber, firetube heat exchanger device. The paper details the geometry, mesh, governing equations and ... Read More
Strain gauges have been extensively used for detecting strain in various applications. Double-ended tuning fork (DETF) strain gages present better performance characteristics than standard foil gauges, including higher sensitivity, smaller size and higher resolution. This study focuses ... Read More
Valves are widely used to control fluid flow in various engineering applications. It’s crucial to study the flow characteristics inside the valve and the fluid-structure interaction between the fluid and valve’s sleeve for design, optimization and improvement of valves. However, because ... Read More
