(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016-08)An effectiveness number of transfer units (ε–NTU) model is developed for use in evaporators where the evaporating stream: (1) comprises a volatile solvent and nonvolatile solute(s) and (2) undergoes a significant, but ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2013-02)Abstract: Background: Innovative models of care are required to cope with the ever-increasing number of patients on antiretroviral therapy in the most affected countries. This study, in Khayelitsha, South Africa, evaluates ...
-
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-02)This paper considers the effectiveness of a Pre-fabricated Vertical (PV) drain array for mitigating the earthquake-induced permanent ground deformations of a water-fronting loose sand fill based on results of numerical ...
-
(Elsevier, 2010-05)While the infection rate of orthopedic implants is low, the required treatment, which can involve six weeks of antibiotic therapy and two additional surgical operations, is life threatening and expensive, and thus motivates ...
-
(American Physical Society, 2014-04)We show that the near-field functionality of hyperbolic metamaterials (HMM), typically proposed for increasing the photonic local density of states (LDOS), can be achieved with thin metal films. Although HMMs have an ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2010-07)The effective hydrodynamic size and free mobility of particles of varying aspect ratio were evaluated by Ferguson analysis of gel electrophoresis. The ligand layer thickness was estimated from the difference between the ...
-
(Cambridge University Press, 2010-09)In a variety of applications, most notably microfluidics design, slip-based boundary conditions have been sought to characterize fluid flow over patterned surfaces. We focus on laminar shear flows over surfaces with periodic ...
-
(American Physical Society, 2009-01)Superhydrophobic surfaces reduce drag by combining hydrophobicity and roughness to trap gas bubbles in a microscopic texture. Recent work has focused on specific cases, such as arrays of pillars or grooves, with limited ...
-
(American Meteorological society, 2011-01)Water vapor directly affects the dynamics of atmospheric eddy circulations through the release of latent heat. But it is difficult to include latent heat release in dynamical theories because of the associated ...
-
(American Physical Society, 2009-10)The effective transport properties and percolation of continuum composites have commonly been studied using discrete models, i.e., by mapping the continuum to a lattice or network. In this study we instead directly solve ...
-
(American Physical Society, 2010-03)The behavior of a conductive membrane in a static (dc) electric field is investigated theoretically. An effective zero-thickness model is constructed based on a Robin-type boundary condition for the electric potential at ...
-
(American Physical Society, 2012-06)The effect of [superscript 13]C isotope impurities on the phonon properties of graphene is discussed theoretically. We calculated the values of the phonon lifetimes due to isotope impurity scattering for all values of ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-04)The objective of this crossover experiment was to investigate the effect of a methane inhibitor, 3-nitrooxypropanol (3NOP), on enteric methane emission, methane isotopic composition, and rumen fermentation and microbial ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2016-01)Chitin fiber is the load-bearing component in natural chitin-based materials. In these materials, chitin is always partially deacetylated to different levels, leading to diverse material properties. In order to understand ...
-
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2014-08)Introduction: Whether red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is beneficial remains controversial. In both retrospective and prospective evaluations, transfusion has been associated with adverse, neutral, or protective effects. ...
-
(Wiley Blackwell, 2016-07)Presented here are computed rates for the thermal unimolecular decomposition of a variety of alkoxy radicals with four- and five-carbon length backbones. Three classes of molecules are examined: alkoxy radicals with saturated ...
-
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2013-08)Transcription inhibition by platinum anticancer drugs is an important component of their mechanism of action. Phenanthriplatin, a cisplatin derivative containing phenanthridine in place of one of the chloride ligands, forms ...
-
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-04)In coherent beam combining (phased arrays), control of the relative amplitudes (powers) of array elements is needed to maximize the beam combining efficiency. Here, expressions are derived for the efficiency in approaches ...
-
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014-03)Purpose: The present multimodal neuroimaging study examined whether amyloid pathology and glucose metabolism are related to cortical volume loss over time in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and healthy elderly controls. ...
-
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2009-09)It has long been speculated that underlying variations in tissue anatomy affect in vivo spectroscopic measurements. We investigate the effects of cervical anatomy on reflectance and fluorescence spectroscopy to guide the ...
