Live-imaging techniques are at the forefront of biology research to explore behaviour and function from sub-cellular to whole organism scales. These methods rely on intracellular fluorescent probes to label specific proteins, ...

Using BaTiO3 as a model ferroelectric material we investigated the influence of the ferroelectric dipole on the photocatalytic activity of a heterogeneous BaTiO3/α-Fe2O3 photocatalyst. Two distinct BaTiO3 samples were used: ...

Based on the recently developed finite integration method (FIM) for solving one-dimensional partial differential equations by using the trapezoidal rule for numerical quadrature, we improve in this paper the FIM with an ...

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Simulation is an important method to investigate grinding temperature and prevent unwanted heat damages of workpiece by excessive grinding heat. Most previous numerical studies on grinding process ...

Acute leukemia is a clonal expansion of malignant hematopoietic cells leading to impaired production of normal blood cells in the bone marrow (BM). Acute leukemia can be classified, according to the lineage involved, into ...

Two commercial hybrid coatings, cured at temperatures lower than 300 °C, were successfully used to protect magnesium silicide stannide and zinc-doped tetrahedrite thermoelectrics. The oxidation rate of magnesium silicide ...

The hybrid Molecular Dynamics - Fluctuating Hydrodynamics model is extended for multi-resolution simulations of molecular diffusion in water under a steady shear flow. Cases of water self-diffusion and a small protein ...

A low swirl injector incorporating a lobed swirler and a plasma swirler was developed for combustion control. The lobed swirler was used to replace the vane swirler to enhance fuel/air mixing and stabilize flame downstream ...

Winter sports are high-energy outdoor activities involving high velocities and acrobatic maneuvers, thus raising safety concerns. Specific studies on the impact mechanics of back protectors are very limited. In this study ...
