The initial consolidation settlement process of saturated cohesive soils has been one of the most important issues to geotechnical engineers especially in important and sensitive structures based which are located on saturated clay layer with high thickness.  In dealing with initial consolidation settlement process and reducing its negative and destructive consequences, a number of solutions ha...

Electroosmotic flow (EOF) is one of the fundamental processes affecting both resolution and separation times in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). EOF is a function of pH and buffer composition (zeta potential) in bare-silica capillaries at any pH above 3 and runs in the cathodal direction, decreasing the effective separation length for cationic species. On the other hand, the absence of EOF...

The capillary/channel length is an important factor in capillary electrophoresis (CE) systems since it is directly related to the amount of separation attainable. In this work we present methods to increase the effective channel length without the need to modify the physical channel length. Using an electrode located close to the capillary surface it is possible to dynamically modify zeta-poten...
