Nanoscale pipettes allow for exciting extensions of traditional current- and voltage-clamping electrophysiology experiments. However, bulk electrodynamic properties begin to break down at nanoscale openings, introducing unusual effects that must be understood in order to properly ... Read More
The erosion of the interior of soil pipes is an important process in the fields of geomechanics and geomorphology. Soil pipes can form in water holding structures like dams and levees, and water flow through these structures becomes concentrated into the soil pipes as they evolve by the ... Read More
In electrochemical machining process, it is very important to control electrolyte flow field to remove contamination such as slug, or gas to be generated by the machining process as well as heat control for electrolyte, machining tool and work piece. To reduce the overcut of workpiece, ... Read More
Electroporation is a highly efficient cellular transfection method which is used to inject molecules into living cells. The electroporation involves creating temporary pores in cell membranes using an electrical field. It has been successfully utilized in medicine and biology for ... Read More
Aboard the International Space Station, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere using a four-bed adsorptive separation process, referred to generally as a 4-Bed Molecular Sieve (4BMS). Experience with the current 4BMS design in space has led to a list of areas for improvement for a ... 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
In a recent publication (Limitations of Breakthrough Curve Analysis in Fixed-Bed Adsorption, Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2016, 55, 4734-4748) the authors discussed the a priori prediction of the axial dispersion coefficient from available correlations versus obtaining it and also mass transfer ... Read More
A finite element model for underground corrosion is presented. The model is capable of predicting regions experiencing high levels of corrosion due to differential aeration and helps identify "corrosion hotspots" where physical examination of the buried asset is not feasible. ... Read More
