Hyperthermia is a type of cancer treatment in which cancer cells are exposed to high temperatures (in the range 42-45°C). Research has shown that high temperatures can damage and kill cells by maintaining them in that range ...

The present project has the objective to model and simulate a special linear motor known as a Berdut linear motor. The motor’s governing equations are derived from Maxwell's equation and Newton's law of motion. These ...

This research explores the use of quantified Gestalt principles: symmetry, parallelism, and continuity, as design variables to evaluate the aesthetics of two-dimensional and three-dimensional product representations. To ...

The fabrication, characterization and testing of sputtering targets were completed for the deposition of hybrid composites. The chemical composition of the target specimens consisted of an aluminum-silicon matrix reinforced ...

We consider physical situation of homogeneous, isotropic decaying turbulence in an incompressible fluid for computational study. It is well established that laminar and turbulent flows of Newtonian fluids are governed ...

The two way shape memory effect (TWSME), is described as a reversible change in the form of a shape memory alloy (SMA). The Nitinol alloy is one of the materials that reflect this phenomenon best. This investigation seeks ...

A device that can pump a fluid with no moving mechanical parts represents a very encouraging alternative since such device would be practically maintenance free. A magnetocaloric pump achieves this purpose by providing a ...

MC3T3-E1 Osteoblastic cells were mechanically stimulated using a static load of 3, 6 and 9 lb during 2, 4, 6 and 8 days of incubation. The Collagen Type I expression rate was analyzed using the Near Infrared Microscope ...

In order to predict and avoid disasters due to the structure failure, reliable strain information is necessary to be monitored in real time. Existing strain sensing technologies offer outstanding performance in terms of ...

The constant development of new technologies in the area of power electronics requires new interconnection materials capable of resisting high temperature environments for wide-bandgap semiconductors such as SiC. Die attach ...
