Here we study thermal modulation effect on nanofluid convection and discuss heat mass transfer in the layer. The non-uniform time periodic boundary conditions of system are considered. A weak non-linear stability analysis has been performed obtained coefficients as a function parameters. Ginzburg Landau model was employed to derive convective amplitude at different stages flow disturbances modu...

High-voltage-activated calcium currents (HVA) of CA1 neurons are prominently attenuated following a switch from HEPES-buffered solution to one buffered with CO(2)/HCO(3)(-). In the present study we investigated whether bicarbonate ions or the dissolved CO(2) induce this alteration in current characteristic. The study was carried out on freshly isolated CA1 neurons using the whole cell patch-cla...

Methods for tuning extracellular matrix (ECM) mechanics in 3D cell culture that rely on increasing the concentration of either protein or cross-linking molecules fail to control important parameters such as pore size, ligand density, and molecular diffusivity. Alternatively, ECM stiffness can be modulated independently from protein concentration by mechanically loading the ECM. We have develope...

Oxygen is not only important which people rely on but also one type of important industrial gas. Considering that there are some disadvantages of traditional methods to measure the oxygen concentration, the tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy is researched in this paper combined with the phase-lock amplify technique. This method combines the high power, good monochrome, wavelength tuned...

Abstract Friction is an energy dissipation process. However, the electronic contribution to channels remains elusive during sliding friction The and on atomically thin MoS 2 with semiconductive characteristics are studied tuned by gate-modulated carrier concentration. of was confirmed regulated through tuning strength electron-phonon coupling. coupling can be strengthened depressed increase dec...

We present a tunable diode laser spectrometer with a novel, rapid time multiplexed direct absorption- and wavelength modulation-spectroscopy operation mode. The new technique allows enhancing the precision and dynamic range of a tunable diode laser absorption spectrometer without sacrificing accuracy. The spectroscopic technique combines the benefits of absolute concentration measurements using...
