Concept

Subtended angle

In geometry, an angle is subtended by an arc, line segment or any other section of a curve when its two rays pass through the endpoints of that arc, line segment or curve section. Conversely, the arc, line segment or curve section confined within the rays of an angle is regarded as the corresponding subtension of that angle. It is also sometimes said that an arc is intercepted or enclosed by that angle. The precise meaning varies with context. For example, one may speak of the angle subtended by an arc of a circle when the angle's vertex is the centre of the circle.

Numerical characterization of electrochemical transport in three-dimensional rhombic zero-depth pores

Philippe Renaud

Three-dimensional (3D) rhombic zero-depth pores present a promising solution to the challenges associated with the requirement for ultrathin membranes in DNA sequencing. This study provides a comprehensive numerical analysis of 3D rhombic zero-depth pores formed at the intersection of triangular microchannels using finite element modeling. The model was validated with a mean absolute error of 2.75% between numerical and experimental results. We identified a critical channel length, beyond which pore conduct

Forward scattering of snow as a factor in local surface energy balance and winter PV production

Because of its high albedo, snow changes the surface energy balance very signiKcantly and this introduces a strong positive feed-back loop with the local climate. In complex, mountainous terrain, the high albedo causes shortwave solar radiation to be reQected multiple times between slopes, which is known to increase the total incoming surface radiation as a result. Snow is also known to have a highly anisotropic reQectance function with a peak for forward scattering. This should inQuence the radiative trans

Mechanotransduction of epiphyseal chondro-progenitors in 3D hydrogel system.

Of the many external factors that affect cell behavior, mechanical cues are fundamental in modulating a cell’s phenotype. Biomimetic mechanosensing requires the three-dimensional encapsulation of cells within a controlled microenvironment. As musculoskeletal tissues are both routinely subjected and highly sensitive to mechanical cues, studying the effect of substrate properties on cellular behavior takes on a more complex angle when looked at in 3D, as is the case in vivo. This project will therefore focus
