Protein Dielectrophoresis: A Tale of Two Clausius-Mossottis—Or Something Else?

Micromachines, 2022
Standard DEP theory, based on the Clausius–Mossotti (CM) factor derived from solving the boundary-value problem of macroscopic electrostatics, fails to describe the dielectrophoresis (DEP) data obtained for 22 different globular proteins over the past ...

PeriSim: A Simulator for Optimizing Peristaltic Table Control

Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2019
Peristaltic conveyance can be used for the sorting and transport of delicate and nonrigid objects such as meat or soft fruit. The non‐linearity and stochastic behavior of peristaltic systems make them difficult to control.

Reduction of the Energy Demand With Passive Approaches in Multifamily Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings Under Different Climate Conditions

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2020
Nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEBs) will be the standard in Europe in the future. How nZEBs are defined and therefore designed varies amongst Europe due to different national definitions/legislations. Furthermore, finding the optimal building design and
