This study presents the development and evaluation of a novel shell-and-tube heat exchanger (STHX) design with segmental porous baffles. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in combination with machine learning tools are utilized to investigate the thermo-hy ...
In this paper, we present a mathematical model able to simulate the cardiac function. We first describe the basic physical principles behind the mathematical equations, then we illustrate a few examples of application to problems of clinical relevance. ...
Three-dimensional control is considered in the flow past a backward-facing step (BFS). The BFS flow at Reynolds number Re = 500 (defined with the step height and the maximum inlet velocity) is two-dimensional and linearly stable but increasingly receptive ...
The binding of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) to extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors generates tonic inhibition that acts as a powerful modulator of cortical network activity. Despite GABA being present throughout the extracellular space of the brain, previous ...
The thalamus, once believed to be a simple relay station between the body periphery and the neocortex, has started to be recognized as a key player in higher-order functions, such as attention. It participates in the transition between brain states, such a ...
System modeling and simulation plays a crucial role in the engineering of large and complex systems from various fields, such as industrial automation or power systems. In this paper, we propose a method that can be used to easily deploy high fidelity simu ...
We report on the fabrication and experimental characterization of single crystal diamond diffraction gratings fabricated with crystallographic dry etching. High aspect ratio atomic force microscopy reveals a characteristic V-groove profile exhibiting smoot ...
