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
Microphysiological systems (MPS) combine microfluidics, MEMS, and biotechnology techniques to mimic human organ function in vitro. Such devices are being developed to provide better levels of tissue and organ functionality compared with conventional cell culture systems, and have great ... En savoir plus
Modern home audio products are starting to feature dedicated upward firing height channel speakers, which are a combination of unique physical speaker design and special signal processing, to reproduce audio as if the sound source is located in the ceiling. Due to slim form factor design ... En savoir plus
Introducing nanostructures into conventional III-V solar materials can improve the light capturing ability of solar devices. Nanowires are thin columns light absorbing material with such a small footprint that they can be grown epitaxially on lattice mismatched substrates. By growing III ... En savoir plus
A significant population of microorganisms (bacteria, archae and fungi) live inside the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and are collectively known as microbiota [1]. The microbiota contain lifelong information on the health of an individual and can assist in early diagnosis of diseases such ... En savoir plus
Aerodynamic sound is generated by unsteady fluid motion and enhanced when the flow becomes turbulent. For example, drone is loud because the ambient air is stirred by their propeller to get lift and movement and the air becomes turbulent. Reduction of aerodynamic noise is an important ...

An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed in a smartphone-based platform using a disposable disk-shaped carbon electrode. A time-varying square waveform potential was applied to the working electrode, and the current and ECL intensity data were measured. The applied ... En savoir plus
Smouldering is flameless combustion which depends on an exothermic surface reaction occurring within a porous medium. It is harnessed by engineers to destroy organic liquid wastes in soil as the technology Self-sustaining Treatment for Active Remediation (STAR). During this remediation ... En savoir plus
