NASA’s future human exploration missions will require chemical processing plants to convert local resources into consumables to support astronaut activities [1]. The thin and mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere of Mars is estimated to have 5 – 10 particles/cm3 with diameter of 3.2 – 5 μm ... Read More
Localized Joule heating within integrated circuit (IC) chips is the leading cause of non-uniform temperature distribution within the circuit structure of the chips. Such variation in temperature enhances the biased diffusion of metal atoms along current carrying interconnects, a ... Read More
Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are easier to install and maintain since the rotor shaft they attached to is typically set transverse to the wind direction. Therefore, the generator and rotation transmission mechanisms can be placed at the base level, where it is close to the ground. ... Read More
Hot air is required in many engineering applications such as heating spaces and drying food. Solar air heater is used to heat air in an environmentally friendly way. The solar air heater consists of many components that are worthy to be studied to improve the performance of the solar air ... Read More
Flow of lava in underground lava tubes is an important mechanism in volcanic eruptions. Most direct measurements of active lava tube flows are typically impossible due to unstable and dangerous terrain, high temperatures (2140°F / 1170°C), and complex and spatially extended tube networks ...

Introduction: Discovering therapeutic drugs that target renal disease is a challenge due to the adverse effects not detected until late in drug development [1]. Preclinical drug studies in animals and static human cell cultures fail to characterize <em>in vivo</em> renal ... Read More
Electrochemical systems are devices or processes in which an ionic conductor mediates the interconversion of chemical and electrical energy. This paper presents a model to simulate the electroplating of copper in a microcavity typically found in the plating of copper onto circuit ... Read More
Introduction Oversized microbubbles traveling through confining conduits can create flow blockages when the lubrication layer surrounding them drains, requiring undesirable increases in pressure gradient for discharging channel contents. In increasingly demanding industrial ... Read More
Microencapsulation-based drug delivery has paved the way for the next generation of drug carrier systems that can deliver a therapeutic agent in a programmable fashion. In this method, therapeutic agent is encapsulated within a microparticle and delivered through hypodermic needles to ... Read More
Flexible and highly sensitive piezoresistive nanomaterial systems have been demonstrated to possess considerable potential for monitoring structural integrity and human physiological performance. The piezoresistivity of the nanomaterial systems mainly stem from conductive/semi-conductive ... Read More
