2 Introduction Ever since the introduction of liquid-phase chromatography,1 efforts have been made to increase the speed and resolution of the technology. Undoubtedly, the major breakthrough came with the introduction of high-pressure instruments and the availability of uniform packing materials, leading to the advent of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in the 1970s.2–3 To further ...

Straight-bladed crossflow turbines are computationally explored for harvesting energy in wind and water currents. One challenge is the transient occurrence of high apparent angles attack on blades that reduces efficiency due to flow separation. This paper explores kinematic manipulation angle through intracycle control angular velocity. Using an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes model at...

Mixed Criticality systems require a difficult compromise to be drawn between efficient system utilisation and sufficient separation of critical components. In addition to these challenges, hardware platforms are becoming increasingly multicore in nature bringing up additional scheduling issues. Previous publications have met these challenges by suggesting a Cyclic Executive based approach for M...

Microfabricated capillary array electrophoresis (microCAE) microchannel plates are the next generation of bioanalytical separation devices. To fully exploit the capabilities of microCAE devices, supporting technology such as robotic sample loading, gel loading, microplate washing, and data analysis must be developed. Here, we describe a device for loading gel into radial capillary array electro...

Efficient charge separation is a critical factor for solar energy conversion by heterogeneous photocatalysts. This paper describes the complete spatial separation of oxidation and reduction cocatalysts to enhance the efficacy of charge separation and surface reaction. Specifically, we design Pt@TiO2@MnO x hollow spheres (PTM-HSs) with Pt and MnO x loaded onto the inner and outer surface of TiO2...

A collection of computational fluid dynamics tools and techniques are being developed and tested for application to stage separation and abort simulation for next-generation launch vehicles. In this work, an overset grid Navier-Stokes flow solver has been enhanced and demonstrated on a matrix of proximity cases and on a dynamic separation simulation of a belly-to-belly wing-body configuration. ...

BACKGROUND Antithrombin (AT) levels decrease during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), particularly when combined with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Low AT levels might lead to imbalance of pro- and anticoagulant factors promoting systemic thrombotic events. We hypothesized that low levels of AT might lead to increased in vitro thrombin generation when procoagulant factors are added to...

We present empirical formulae for the electron density vs. line profile widths and shifts developed from precise measurements of hydrogen Balmer series alpha and beta emissions for diagnostics of laser-induced plasma. The formulae are for the Stark width and Stark red shift of the Hα line, as well as for the Stark width and peak separation of the Hβ line and are tested using measurements of Hα ...

The energetic driving force required to drive charge separation across donor/acceptor heterojunctions is a key consideration for organic optoelectronic devices. Herein we report a series of transient absorption and photocurrent experiments as a function of excitation wavelength and temperature for two low-band-gap polymer/fullerene blends to study the mechanism of charge separation at the donor...
