An increasing number of technologies require prediction of unsteady forced convection in porous media when the inlet flow is unsteady. To gain further insight into this problem, the unsteady equations of continuity, Navier ...

The long-known class of compounds called naphthalene diimides (NDI), bearing alkyl subtituents on the imide nitrogen atoms, have been widely used as active materials in thin film devices with interesting optical, sensing ...

Density functional theory has been used to investigate the behavior of the π electrons in bilayer graphene and graphite under compression along the c axis. We have studied both conventional Bernal (A-B) and A-A stackings ...

Weakly coupled multicore fiber (WC-MCF) is promising for use in short-reach fiber telecommunication systems in the near future. Intercore crosstalk (XT) plays an important role in WC-MCF-based short-reach intensity-modul ...

Organic inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskites have emerged as promising candidates for photovoltaics and light-emitting diodes. Recently, interest has been growing in the properties of low-dimensional metal halide ...

The nanotopography and nanoscale geometry of the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) are important regulators of cell adhesion, motility and fate decision. However, unlike the sensing of matrix mechanics and ECM density, the ...

An immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involving viscoelastic fluids and complex geometries is presented in this paper. In this method, the fluid dynamics and ...

Safer and more efficient airport ground movements can be planned by routing and scheduling systems based on the 4-dimensional trajectory (4DT). In order to achieve the benefits envisioned in the planning stage, an effective ...

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of pure cellulose (CE) and birchwood (BW) samples was carried out at temperatures between 160 and 280 °C, 0.5 h residence time and biomass-to-water ratio 1:5, to investigate the reactivity ...
