The growing demand for efficient transmission (1), including refurbishing of existing lines, requires technological advances beyond the actual methodologies, basically electric parameters and electromagnetic fields estimation. Some analytical models developed at CEPEL (2, 3) provide ... En savoir plus
In clean coal technologies, improving energy conversion efficiency is one of the most important directions. Compared to traditional subcritical power plants, pressure-increased supercritical power plants improve the plant energy efficiency from 35% up to 45%. This work presents a study ... En savoir plus
Steel tubes are widely used in industries. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of industrial processes, electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) based guided wave technology has been developed for inspecting stainless steel tubes regularly. Theoretical models and finite ... En savoir plus
In this paper, we use the PDE interface of COMSOL Multiphysics® software to implement the 2.5D frequency wave-number domain method to investigate the wave propagation in a deviated borehole penetrating a transversely isotropic formation. A convolutional perfectly matched layer is ... En savoir plus
A wide variety of near-field optical phenomena such as apertureless near-field scanning microscopy (ANSM) at optical and terahertz (THz) regimes and surface enhanced Raman scattering relies on the electric field enhancement at the end of a sharp tip. Achieving and controlling this ... En savoir plus
Localized calcium events in the endothelial cells (EC) can modulate smooth muscle cell (SMC) calcium (Ca2+) and membrane potential dynamics through release of endothelium derived hyperpolarizing and relaxing factors. Ca2+ levels in the smooth muscle cell (SMC) determine its contractile ... En savoir plus
It is feasible to focus and guide nanoparticles with permanent magnets and ferromagnetic particles to achieve clinically significant olfactory dosages. With appropriate magnetophoretic guidance and selective drug release, an olfactory delivery efficiency of more than 20% can be ... En savoir plus
Understanding the interactions between microbubbles and surfaces is key to the successful deployment of microbubbles in a range of applications. Two important examples are their use as a drug delivery mechanism, and their potential use of acoustically-driven bubbles as microscale ... En savoir plus
Lake Victoria is the largest tropical lake in the world and is very important for environment and economy in East Africa. The hydrodynamic processes in the shallow (40-80 m deep) water system are unique due to its location at the equator which makes Coriolis effects noticeable also for ... En savoir plus
Thermally responsive microgel Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide), particles are embedded with iron oxide nanobeads creating magneto-thermally responsive microparticles (MTMs). The magnetic losses in the nanobeads activate the PNIPAM by heating it up to its lower critical solution temperature ... En savoir plus
