Technical Papers and Presentations

Array-based technologies are important for many applications in drug discovery, microbiology and cell biology. A large-scale array of single cells allows high-throughput monitoring of behaviors of individual cells in parallel, avoiding the lack of cell specificity inherent to bulk ... Read More

Recently, acoustic black holes (ABH), a new passive structural modification approach to control vibration and noise from mechanical structures have been developed and studied. This preliminary study presents the work on the influence of acoustical black holes on the vibration and sound ... Read More

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact on number of baffles placed in horizontal- or vertical-alignment of an anaerobic baffled reactor (HABR and ABR, respectively). Computational fluid dynamics was used to evaluate hydraulic performance of each and determine what number ... Read More

The interest to study the nanoparticles absorbed on the substrate is caused by the multiple practical applications of such systems [1, 2]. The author suggests a method of examining their properties by calculating the absorption and scattering of the electromagnetic field by such system ... Read More

The thermal performance of the dry type power transformers is directly connected to the internal heat source caused by electrical losses. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate the temperatures reached by the transformer core to ensure optimum operation. This paper presents a detailed ... Read More

This poster describes a simulation of reverse saturable absorption in a solution C60 molecules using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The optical processes in C60 can be modeled through a five-level system. The energy states include three levels of the singlet state, coupled to two ... Read More

This poster presents the electric field flowing through an insulated cable due to a high frequency voltage pulse in the presence of water trees. Read More

The delivery of chemotherapy for cancer into the central nervous system, in particular the brain, remains a challenge. This results in brain metastases commonly being a cause of death from cancer. Here, we look at the environment of the blood-brain barrier. Then, we explore two proteins ... Read More

Chemical reactions performed under microwave irradiation often have high reaction rates and high selectivities, which enable reactor sizes to be compact and processes to be energy-conserving. A microwave oven is widely used for microwave chemical processing and chemical synthesis. The ... Read More

Air supply hoses are also predominantly used in the medical industry to aid in patient oxygen intake. In many situations, the outside of the hose can be contaminated with chemicals, especially if the hose lies on the ground in an environment where chemicals are easily found. Permeation ... Read More
