Methane detection and quantification is of great importance due to its natural abundance, potential to cause explosions and known greenhouse effect. Leak detection and concentration monitoring at source is highly challenging as CH4 is odorless and colorless. This can be performed mounting sensor network over a potential diffusion area. It requires optimal positioning of those sensor nodes to ...

定量分析生物颗粒形态的变化可以为疾病诊断提供依据。例如血红细胞形态的变化常常会伴随有相应的血液疾病[1]，细胞的癌变常常伴随有细胞核形态的变化[2]等等。无标记的光学显微成像技术已经可以对生物颗粒的尺度和形状进行直接测量。光声显微成像技术 (PAM) 利用生物颗粒固有的吸光本领，已经可以对单个生物颗粒（如细胞和细胞器）进行成像[3]。 最近，光声流式仪(the photoacoustic flow-cytometry)已经实现了对单个生物颗粒进行连续检测[4]。然而，为了在大量的生物颗粒中快速检测生物颗粒的形貌，最好的方法是并非对其进行直接成像，而是采用高频光声显微技术[5]，它的分辨率来源于实际测量与光声功率谱的分析。 光声功率谱分析需要通过计算建模来获取。我们使用 COMSOL Multiphysics® 有限元分析软件的声学模块用来建模 MFC7 细胞核的光声功率谱 ...

引言：柔性压力传感器在电子皮肤、智能假肢以及医疗监测诊断等领域发挥着十分重要的作用。因此压力传感器需要很高的灵敏度、较宽的敏感区间及稳定的性能。利用典型有机硅 PDMS 作为支撑层，聚合物 PEDOT: PSS 作为导电感应层制得的高度不均一微突结构的双压敏机制压阻传感器灵敏度达到了 851kPa-1。其探测范围广，性能优异，为解决目前压阻传感器中灵敏度低、敏感压力区间窄的难题提供了新思路。 COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS® 软件的使用：本文利用 COMSOL Multiphysics® 软件建立了不均匀微突结构的压阻式传感器模型，采用了结构力学与电流场两个物理场，通过电子接触对进行多物理场的耦合。研究在指定位移情况下，压阻式传感器电阻与电流的变化，从而得到灵敏度，验证不均匀微突结构压阻式压力传感器的双作用机制。同时，与均一微金字塔结构的压力传感器进行比较 ...
Hydrothemal Carbonization: A Renewable Alternative to Fossil Fuels and Respective Evaluation

[1] National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece.
Humanity is faced with an imminent energy crisis. The exponential growth of the human population and the consequential increase of the required energy on a global scale, the dramatic climate change and the exhaustibility of natural resources combined, force us to strive towards a sustainable future. The majority of energy is being produced by fossil fuels, carriers of high density of primary ...
Oxygen Based Diffusion Modeling of Oxidation Behaviour of Encapsulated Lipids

Encapsulation is an established technique to protect sensitive materials from environmental factors such as oxygen and light. Nutritionally beneficial fatty acids like omega 3 fatty acids are susceptible to oxidation and are therefore encapsulated by drying an oil in water emulsion. It is assumed that the wall matrix, that is surrounding the lipid droplets, acts as an oxygen diffusion barrier. ...

[1]Centro Láser UPM, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Madrid, Spain
Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a non-contact direct-write technique that enables the deposition of small volumes of material into user-defined high-resolution patterns with a wide range of structural and functional materials. There are many variations of the LIFT process, each differing in how the laser is absorbed and converted into the mechanical energy required for material ejection ...

硅通孔在实现高级集成系统中起着至关重要的作用，但是其发展受到多物理场耦合效应的极大阻碍。硅通孔的多物理场耦合过程非常复杂，热场分布、电磁场分布及结构分布是相关联、相互作用的。针对硅通孔的多物理场耦合问题，本文开展了硅通孔多物理场仿真分析研究。结合国内外在硅通孔多物理场本质研究的基础上，从多物理场耦合理论出发，建立单个硅通孔的多物理场分析模型。通过运用 COMSOL Multiphysics 软件进行建模如图 1，在稳态下选择相应的焦耳热和热膨胀接口进行仿真如图 2，经影响分析确定了硅通孔的一些结构参数，如二氧化硅隔层厚度取 0.8um，硅基质厚度取 5.5um，硅通孔高度取 83.6um。最后，选择焦耳热接口进行瞬态仿真，研究了电压周期函数的幅值大小和占空比对硅通孔温度变化的影响关系。数值结果表明，随着幅值的增大，最终稳定后，温度的波动范围和最高温度都将增大如图 3；随着占空比不断增大 ...

建筑发生火灾时玻璃受热破裂发生脱落行为对于火灾的发展有显著的影响。玻璃暴露区域热膨胀使得遮蔽区域受到拉应力直至发生破裂。而后，玻璃发生脱落，形成新的通风口加速火蔓延。本文采用 COMSOL 有限元的方法建立了风载荷作用下火灾中玻璃的三维物理模型，使用 Coulomb-Mohr 判据来判断玻璃是否发生破裂，研究了玻璃发生首次破裂时间和应力场分布，模拟结果与实验结果的首次破裂时间的相对误差小于 3%。本研究也为建筑防火和结构抗火提供理论基础和技术支撑。

Université de Toulouse, Toulouse, France
Excilamps are artificial Ultraviolet sources based on the emission of excimers or exciplexes. The latter are excited states of weakly bound rare gas or halide/rare gas atoms which emit a photon in the UV region when they dissociate. Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) excilamps are promising UV sources for the future, provided the coupling between their power supply is optimized. The model ...

The present work focuses on modeling a new experimental technique: Scanning Electro-chemical Potential Microscopy (SECPM), which is used to probe the potential profile of the electric double layer (EDL). We used an electrostatic approach to compute the EDL potential measured within the metallic probe. Also, we investigated the effect of the interaction of the electrode/probe double layers on the ...
