A preparative scale free-flow isoelectric focusing (FF-IEF) device is developed and characterized with the aim of addressing needs of molecular biologists working with protein samples on the milligrams and milliliters scale. A triangular-shape separation channel facilitates the establishment of the pH gradient with a corresponding increase in separation efficiency and decrease in focusing time ...

A preparative scale free-flow IEF device is developed and characterized with the aim of addressing needs of molecular biologists working with protein samples on the milligrams and milliliters scale. A triangular-shape separation channel facilitates the establishment of the pH gradient with a corresponding increase in separation efficiency and decrease in focusing time compared with that in a re...

Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technique is often employed to increase capacity in comparing to systems with single antenna. However, the computational complexity in evaluating channel capacity or transmission rate (data rate) grows proportionally to the number of employed antennas at both ends of the wireless link. Recently, the QR decomposition (QRD) based detection schemes have emerge...

In this paper the effect of corrugated diaphragm on performance of MEMS microphone is described. The corrugated diaphragm is modeled in order to improve the sensitivity of micromachined silicon acoustic sensor. Analytical analyzes have been carried out to derive mathematic expressions for the mechanical sensitivity and displacement of corrugated diaphragm with residual stress. It is shown that ...

Experimental study of natural convection heat transfer inside smooth and rough surfaces of vertical and inclined equilateral triangular channels of different inclination angles with a uniformly heated surface are performed. The inclination angle is changed from 15o to 90o. Smooth and rough surface of average roughness (0.02mm) are used and their effect on the heat transfer characteristics are s...

A micro-channel heat exchanger reactor with different micro-baffle shapes has been studied numerically. Governing equations were solved base on the finite volume method with FLUENT software. In upper section, oxidation reaction of methanol was occurred and in lower section, steam reforming of methanol was done. Two sections were separated with solid part which played as heat exchanger and trans...

Propagation of rays in 2D and 3D corrugated waveguides is performed the general framework stability indicators. The analysis based on Lyapunov reversibility error. It found that error growth follows a power law for regular orbits an exponential chaotic orbits. A relation with Shannon channel capacity devised approximate scaling increase corrugation depth.

In this paper we present a new model for calculating the capacitance of MEMS sensor with corrugated diaphragm. In this work the effect of residual stress is considered on deflection of diaphragm and capacitance of sensor. First, a new analytical analyzes have been carried out to derive mathematic expressions for central deflection of corrugated diaphragm and its relationship with residual stres...

A novel 3D printing methodology using continuous carbon fiber (CCF) reinforced thermosetting epoxy (EP) composites was proposed to fabricate triangular corrugated structures (TCSs). The single-stroke path ensured a strong connection between the core and face sheets. Silicone rubber deposited vulcanized solve shape retention problem of preformed sample during post-curing. Flatwise compression te...
