Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) are essential supramolecular complexes involved in pre-mRNA splicing, the process of post-transcriptional RNA modifications. The particles undergo complex assembly steps inside the cell nucleus in a highly dynamic compartment called the ... Read More
An attempt was made, as described in this paper, to assign material properties like shear strength and modulus of elasticity randomly. In this way, the behaviour of a masonry wall with a prefabricated concrete lintel was experimentally tested and simulated using COMSOL. The paper ... Read More
The paper presents the application of COMSOL Multiphysics® software to the modelling of superconducting accelerator magnets. A 2D magneto-thermal model is developed, using an equivalent magnetization formulation to take into account the eddy-currents’ effects. Due to the model ... Read More
Introduction: Single-photon detectors capable of ensuring high fidelity read-out of quantum information delivered via photons of specific polarization are crucial in QIP [1]. Our previous studies have shown that different types of one dimensional plasmonic structures enhance the ... Read More
Fiber optic sensors have been designed for applications ranging from simple proximity detectors to state of the art inertial navigation systems. The optical sensing technique used in each of these applications depends primarily on the requirements. Fiber Bragg Grating Laser (FBGL) based ... Read More
Surface acoustic wave gas sensors use a chemically sensitive resistive layer to detect gas concentration. The resistivity of the sensing material, the sensing layer thickness, and the spacer layer thickness all affect the surface wave propagation velocity. Existing analytic theory ... Read More
Breathing motion is a major problem in radiotherapy of lung tumors. The development of techniques to adequately account for respiratory motion requires detailed knowledge about breathing dynamics. Thus, computer aided modeling of respiratory motion gains in importance. In this paper we ... Read More
Axisymmetric acoustic waves propagating along buried water pipes have been investigated by FEM and experimentally. Universal dispersion relations of the fundamental mode were obtained as a function of the standard dimension ratio SDR and of the material surrounding the pipe (soil, air). ... Read More
Hydrodynamic flow focusing is an important requirement of microfluidic cell sorting devices. It allows the cells to arrive sequentially at the sorting location making detection easier. The simplest flow focusing configuration uses a three input Y-shaped microchannel. The sample enters ... Read More
The use of proton therapy for cancer treatment shows a growing trend, since the radiation dose delivered to the target volume is maximized and the dose to the surrounding healthy tissues is minimized. To direct the proton beam from all directions to the tumor in the patient, the last ... Read More
