[1] Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND, USA

Cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide. According to the American Cancer Society, there will be about 700,000 cancer related deaths in US in 2017. Cancer mortality will be reduced if it is detected and treated at the early stages. Previous studies have shown that ... Read More

Virtual Design of a Four-Bed Molecular Sieve for Exploration

T. Giesy [1], R. Coker [1], J. Knox [1], B. O'Connor [1],
[1] NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL, USA

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

[2] Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics Center, University of Los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia

In 2014, it was estimated that there are between 6 to 7 million people worldwide infected by Chagas disease and approximately 25 million people are currently at risk. The parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) causes this disease and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) it can ... Read More

Thermoviscous Acoustics – Piezoelectric Modeling and Simulation of Surface Acoustic Wave Devices

V. M. Dhagat [1], P. Dufilie [2],
[1] University of Connecticut, Mansfield, CT, USA
[2] Phonon Corporation, Simsbury, CT, USA

New drug discovery and development is costly; of all compounds investigated for use in humans, only a small fraction is approved for treatments around the world. The pharmaceutical industry has started switching from molecular drugs to protein-based drugs due to high specificity, ... Read More

Improved Understanding on Collection of Airborne Particles by Permanent Magnetic Assembly

MHD Electrolyte Flow within an Inter-electrode Gap Driven by a Sinusoidal Electric Field and Constant Magnetic Field

C. Bradley [1], J. Samuel [2],
[1] Benét Laboratories, U.S. Army RDECOM-ARDEC, Watervliet, NY, USA
[2] Department of Mechanical Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA

PECM is a necessary extension to traditional ECM for some high-performance materials. Electrolyte flow in the inter-electrode gap (IEG) can be assisted using a magnetic field to allow higher currents, but this creates a magnetohydrodynamic flow. This paper presents a study of flow ... Read More

A Simple Particle Saltation Model Using Computational Fluid Dynamics

A. Landázuri [1], V. Benavides [1],
[1] Chemical Engineering Department, GICAS Group, Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Quito, Ecuador

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
