(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)It is challenging to obtain accurate predictions of ocean surface wavefield evolutions due to several complex dynamic processes involved, including nonlinear wave interaction, wave breaking and wind forcing, and also wave ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The reagent delivery mechanism in a point-of-care, HIV diagnostic, microfluidic device is studied. Reagents held in an aluminum pack are released on the opening of a fluidic seal. Fluidic seals, controlling the flow of ...
