Cold season thunderstorms are a threat for wind turbines in several areas of the world because the thundercloud is much closer to the earth compared to warm season thunderstorms. As a consequence, the electric field between cloud and ground is much higher during these storms, triggering ... Read More

Disciplines such as neutron polarimetry and medical imaging depend on highly uniform magnetic fields to preserve target polarization, and have turned to "magic boxes" to reliably generate these fields. Searches for the permanent Electric Dipole Moment of the neutron (nEDM) are sensitive ... Read More

Granular and powdered activated carbons have been widely used for purification/filtration in air and water as catalysts or organic adsorbents. To obtain mechanical filtration capacity and inorganic reduction performance, activated carbon can be formed as a block-shaped porous media, ... Read More

Cancer cells have an increased sensitivity to heat compared to healthy cells; at 42°C cancer cells are destroyed while normal cells can survive up to 47°C. Thus hyperthermia-based approaches that target specific spatial locations and simultaneously provide controlled thermal exposure ... Read More

Increasing demand for enhanced functionality and smaller form factor has led to significant increases in the power consumed by today’s electronic control modules. Consequently, improved thermal management of individual components and control modules is now a primary consideration to ... Read More

Carbon fiber composites are used across a wide range of industries to provide products with a combination of reduced weight and increased strength. Integration of carbon fiber composites into gun barrels not only offers superior strength, rigidity and lighter weight compared to ... Read More

Propagation of radio signals can be significantly affected by the characteristics of the medium in which they travel such that the properties of the propagation path affect both the level and quality of the received signal as well as the distance over which signals can be reliably ... Read More

Due to particle interactions, magnetic particles suspended in non-magnetic fields tend to form chains, clusters or columns under magnetic fields. The non-spherical magnetic particles in the suspension show different rheological properties compared to spherical particles. In this paper, ... Read More

This study investigates the effect of a uniform magnetic field on the lateral migration behavior of a ferrofluid droplet in a plane Poiseuille flow at arbitrary directions by means of numerical simulation. A numerical scheme called level set method in combination with the laminar two ... Read More

The low dimensional systems show a behavior that is strongly depending on external effects such as the intense non-resonant laser field. The control of electronic and optical properties by means of a laser field lets us to adapt the matter-light interaction to several applications [1]. ... Read More
