Utilization of raw ligno-cellulosic biomass for energy use is limited because of its low heating value and low yield per unit area of biomass. Pellets are densified and compressed form of biomass which has less moisture and higher energy density compared to raw biomass. Pellets are typically...

Upper limb movement yields rich streams of sensory information that are cortically integrated with motor commands. This is drastically altered in those with upper limb (UL) amputation as sensations of touch and movement are inherently lost. This absence impedes prosthetic control by forcing...

Generally, a design process involves multiple modeling and analysis interaction iterations accommodating changes and verifications. It is convenient to develop generative programs to automate some tedious and repetitive processes in order to minimize cycle times and the engineer’s routine efforts...

The efficacy of heat pipes is often constrained by their ability to effectively return condensed liquid from the condenser to the evaporator section through capillary pumping. However, when the heat pipe wick is absent or flooded due to overfilling, capillary pumping becomes irrelevant, resulting...
