The application of turbulent plume theory in describing the dynamics of emptying filling boxes, control volumes connected to an infinite exterior through a series of openings along the upper and lower boundaries, has yielded novel strategies for the natural ventilation of buildings. Making the...

Excess of liquid water in gas channels of polymer electrolyte fuel cells is responsible for malfunctioning of these devices. Not only it decreases their efficiency via partial blockage of reactants and pressure drop, but it can also lead to the irreversible damage due to oxygen starvation in case...

Although a number of cytoskeletal derangements have been described in the setting of traumatic axonal injury (TAI), little is known of early structural changes that may serve to initiate a cascade of further axonal degeneration. Recent work by the authors has examined conformational changes in...

This study investigates the micro/nanostructural features and mechanical responses of a novel TiAl/Ti3Al/Al2O3 cermet fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis. The microscopic diagnosis was used to examine the material composition, phase distribution, and elemental concentration...

Sit-to-stand transfer (STS) is a common yet critical prerequisite for many daily tasks. Literature conducted on healthy STS often assume the body to behave symmetrically across the left and right side; yet only a few studies have been conducted to investigate this supposition. These studies have...

Experimental characterization of arch wires has been performed in many previous studies; however with the advent of new arch wire materials being introduced, some new experimental methods and characterization are required. Since literature is available for comparison, this paper examines...

In this paper, a trilinear cohesive zone modeling approach available in the explicit nonlinear finite element software LS-DYNA is used to model the dynamic impact failure of an adhesive layer. This approach is an improvement over simpler cohesive zone models presented in the literature. The model...

Purpose: A combined in vitro – in silico methodology was designed to estimate pharmacokinetics of budesonide delivered via dry powder inhaler. Methods: Particle size distributions from three budesonide DPIs, measured with a Next Generation Impactor and Alberta Idealized Throat, were input into a...

A process model was developed to determine the net energy ratio (NER) for the production of pellets from steam pretreated agricultural residue (wheat straw) and energy crops (i.e., switchgrass in this case). The NER is a ratio of the net energy output to the total net energy input from...
