This work computationally characterizes a new bipolar electrochemical sensing scheme recently developed for inexpensive detection of heavy metals in water. The sensing scheme employs a two-step optical anodic strip voltammetry protocol that couples a closed bipolar electrochemical cell ... En savoir plus
Modeling the effects of electromagnetic fields on biological structures on the order of the body and tissues to the micro (1e-6)-and nano (1e-9) level of cells and sub-cellular structures presents formidable challenges. We share the major lessons we have learned using COMSOL ... En savoir plus
Innovative materials, such as ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced-concrete (UHP-FRC), provide an opportunity to reduce building energy loss by developing energy-efficient facade panels. However, investigating the thermal performance of these façade systems without considering the ... En savoir plus
Thermal ablation is a treatment option in oncology that can be used to target primary and metastatic cancers. In this approach, high temperature heating is administered at the target tumor site to induce coagulative necrosis of malignant cells. One minimally invasive method for ... En savoir plus
Electricity has become the main source of heat, power, and light used in the modern world. Much of the technological advances made over the last few decades are due to electrical energy. One of the essential components of the electrical system is the grounding network. The continuous ... En savoir plus
In a pumping test the drawdown of the water table in a piezometer is recorded, as response to pumping from a nearby well. Pumping tests belong into the common toolbox of hydro-geologists, used to obtain basic parameters for aquifer characterization. There are various approaches to ... En savoir plus
Microbubble oscillations in the presence of ultrasound wave inside blood vessel have been widely studied for therapeutic applications like drug and gene delivery[1], blood-brain barrier opening[2], and lysis of blood clot[3] and cell membrane[4]. An oscillating bubble exerts stresses on ... En savoir plus
A pressurizer is a specialized vessel used to regulate pressure in the primary coolant loop of pressurized light water nuclear reactors (PWRs). During normal operation heat lost to the surrounding environment is replaced by heating coils in the pressurizer tank to maintain system ... En savoir plus
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used for the study of aging in eukaryotic cells. The traditional method for this study uses micromanipulators which makes it difficult, time consuming and expensive. Over time, different microfluidic platforms, usually referred to as 'mother ...

With the evolving trend of electrification in transportation, electric machines with higher power density and higher efficiency are demanded which results in the thermal limit of the stator winding becoming more of a key constraint. The achievable current density in stator windings is ... En savoir plus
