Abstract Continuous-flow microfluidic devices are widely used in microbiology, fine organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, etc. Most applications require rapid mixing of the fluids that pass through chip. The mechanism natural diffusion is not always efficient due to limitations on length channel. In this work, we numerically study efficiency using various mechanisms convection for en...

The paper presents an analytical framework for elucidating the equity and social efficiency criteria that might be used to justify a housing policy aiming for a substantial mix of neighborhood residents by income, ethnicity, and/or immigrant status. This framework permits the classification of multivariate statistical studies comprising the Western European evidence base and shows the importanc...

The efficiency of traffic routing on complex networks can be reflected by two key measurements, i.e., the network capacity and the average travel time of data packets. In this paper we propose a mixing routing strategy by integrating local static and dynamic information for enhancing the efficiency of traffic on scale-free networks. The strategy is governed by a single parameter. Simulation res...
