in this paper, numerical investigation of a flat passive micromixer with heterogeneous surface properties that the flow through it, is driven by the electroosmotic flow have been presented. the governing equations, which consist of a laplace equation for the distribution of external electric potential, a poisson equation for the distribution of electric double layer potential, modified navier-s...

Vavagiakis, Bachlechner, and Kleban reply: Fritz Bopp correctly points out that creating a potential difference necessitates nonzero electric field. He goes on to assert the field must cross particles’ paths, differentially accelerating them. If were case, in phase could indeed be explained by interaction of particles with As we describe our Quick Study, however, switched for while then off aga...

Stochastic population processes may cause differences between species histories and gene histories. These processes are assumed to only influence the most recent divergences in the tree of life; however, there may be underappreciated potential for microevolutionary processes to impact deep divergences. I used multispecies coalescent models to determine the impact of stochastic processes on deep...

The efficient and effective repair of damaged tissue is fundamental to human survival. Wound repair has therefore challenged generations of health care providers, and various strategies have been used to accelerate and perfect the healing process. One such strategy has involved the application of an exogenous electrical stimulus to chronic wounds with the aim of instigating electrotaxis (also c...

During the last years, the development of electric propulsion systems is pushed strongly, most notably for automotive applications. For ground based transportation, the system mass is relevant, but of relatively low importance. This paper addresses the application of electric propulsion systems in aeronautics, where all systems are much more constrained by their mass. After comparing different ...

This paper explores the theory and potential of a family of reluctance motors as well as brief review of different types of reluctance motors, motivated by the increased demands for geometric versatility and ruggedness for electric motors. This paper presents a new and novel disc type reluctance motor that has been designed built, tested, and analyzed. The magnetic circuit-based analysis shows ...

The electroelastic 4 × 4 Green’s function of a piezoelectric hexagonal (transversely isotropic) infinitely extended medium is calculated explicitely in closed compact form (eqs. (73) ff. and (88) ff., respectively) by using residue calculation. The results can also be derived from Fredholm’s method [2]. In the case of vanishing piezoelectric coupling the derived Green’s function coincides with ...

Let Mb be the operator of pointwise multiplication by b, that is Mb f = bf . Set [A,B] = AB−BA. The Reisz potentials are the operators Rα f(x) = ∫ f(x− y) dy |y|α , 0 < α < 1. They map L 7→ L, for 1 − α + 1 q = 1 p , a fact we shall take for granted in this paper. A Theorem of Chanillo MR84j:42027 [6] states that one has the equivalence ‖[Mb,Rα]‖p→q ≃ ‖b‖BMO with the later norm being that of th...
