Inter- and intra-individual variability in CO2 production and metabolic rate

Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohamad Rida

Carbon dioxide generated by the human body and exhaled (VCO2) is commonly used for ventilation controls, while the metabolic rate (i.e., energy expenditure EE) is an important parameter defining human thermal comfort in buildings. These two parameters are ...

Maximizing friction by liquid flow clogging in confinement

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Xiaoqi Zhang

In the nanoscale regime, flow behaviors for liquids show qualitative deviations from bulk expectations. In this work, we reveal by molecular dynamics simulations that plug flow down to nanoscale induces molecular friction that leads to a new flow structure ...

Systematic analysis of biomolecular binding reactions using microfluidic systems

Amir Shahein

Transcription factor binding to a single binding site on DNA and its functional consequence in a promoter context are beginning to be relatively well understood. However, binding to clusters of sites has yet to be characterized in depth, and the functional ...

Model order reduction of flow based on a modular geometrical approximation of blood vessels

Simone Deparis, Luca Pegolotti

We are interested in a reduced order method for the efficient simulation of blood flow in arteries. The blood dynamics is modeled by means of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. Our algorithm is based on an approximated domain-decomposition of the ...

Structural and Dynamical Properties of Potassium Dodecahydro-monocarba-closo-dodecaborate: KCB11H12

Mirjana Dimitrievska

MCB11H12 (M: Li, Na) dodecahydro-monocarba-closo-dodecaborate salt compounds are known to have stellar superionic Li+ and Na+ conductivities in their high-temperature disordered phases, making them potentially appealing electrolytes in all-solid-state batt ...

Iterative learning control of multivariable uncertain nonlinear systems with nonrepetitive trajectory

Mohamed Bouri

Iterative learning control (ILC) theory is based on the traditional assumptions of resetting condition and repetitive trajectory. To overcome these restrictions, a novel ILC is developed in this paper for MIMO uncertain nonlinear systems subject to externa ...

On the Number of Containments in P-free Families

Abhishek Methuku

A subfamily {F-1, F-2, ..., F-vertical bar P vertical bar} subset of F is a copy of the poset P if there exists a bijection i : P -> {F-1, F-2, ..., F-vertical bar P vertical bar}, such that p

Collective behavior of red blood cells in confined channels

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We study the flow properties of red blood cells in confined channels, when the channel width is comparable to the cell size. We focus on the case of intermediate concentrations when hydrodynamic interactions between cells play a dominant role. This regime ...

Quantum correlation measurement with single photon avalanche diode arrays

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ivan Michel Antolovic

Temporal photon correlation measurement, instrumental to probing the quantum properties of light, typically requires multiple single photon detectors. Progress in single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array technology highlights their potential as high-perf ...

Dynamic pressure probe response tests for robust measurements in periodic flows close to probe resonating frequency

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

A single-hole probe was designed to measure steady and periodic flows with high fluctuation amplitudes and with minimal flow intrusion. Because of its high aspect ratio, estimations showed that the probe resonates at a frequency two orders of magnitude low ...

Three-dimensional Rayleigh–Taylor instability under a unidirectional curved substrate

François Gallaire, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Nicolas Igor Jacques Kofman

We investigate the Rayleigh–Taylor instability of a thin liquid film coated on the inside of a cylinder whose axis is orthogonal to gravity. We are interested in the effects of geometry on the instability, and contrast our results with the classical case o ...

The effect of “objecthood” in the Ebbinghaus illusion

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Einat Rashal

In the Ebbinghaus illusion, observers overestimate the size of a target when it is surrounded by large flakers and compared with a control target surrounded by small flankers. We examined whether “objecthood” – the degree to which an object is a cohesive e ...

Superplastic behavior of silica nanowires obtained by direct patterning of silsesquioxane-based precursors

Yusuf Leblebici

Silica nanowires spanning 10 μm-deep trenches are fabricated from different types of silsesquioxane-based precursors by direct e-beam patterning on silicon followed by release through deep reactive ion etching. Nanowire aspect ratios as large as 150 are ac ...
