Development of a Cavitation Generator Mimicking Pistol Shrimp

open access: yesBiomimetics
Pistol shrimp generate cavitation bubbles. Cavitation impacts due to bubble collapses are harmful phenomena, as they cause severe damage to hydraulic machinery such as pumps and valves.

Challenges and Opportunities in Combining Ultrasound and Inductive Coupling for Energy Supply and Bidirectional Data Exchange in Bioelectronics Medicine Implant Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In this contribution, it is shown that miniaturized nerve stimulation implants can be used in collaborative networks. Inductive links and ultrasound are combined to supply these implants with energy and data; the advantages and disadvantages of each method, as well as safety risks and possibilities for improvement are discussed and the best ...

Nucleation in a Fermi liquid at negative pressure

open access: yes, 2001
Experimental investigation of cavitation in liquid helium 3 has revealed a singular behaviour in the degenerate region at low temperature. As the temperature decreases below 80 mK, the cavitation pressure becomes significantly more negative.

Deciphering fire tolerance of trees at the Amazonia–Cerrado transition by trait‐based approach: Implications from species to communities

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding how fire impacts trees is essential for predicting the effects of novel fire regimes on plant diversity in the transition between the world's two most diverse biomes, the Cerrado and the Amazonia. Here we addressed knowledge gaps regarding physiological damage and mortality in transitional species within fire‐prone ...

Understanding crack versus cavitation in pressure-sensitive adhesives: the role of kinetics

open access: yes, 2006
We perform traction experiments on viscous liquids highly confined between parallel plates, a geometry known as the probe-tack test in the adhesion community.

Cavitation And Bubble Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Abstract The book describes and explains the fundamental physical processes involved in bubbly dynamics and the phenomenon of cavitation. The study of cavitation and bubbly flow applies to many areas of interest; from valve damage in hydroelectric equipment, ship propellors and internal combustion engines to the performance of turbines ...

Testing key tenets of pyro‐ecophysiology: Indicators of drought response in relation to shoot flammability

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Relationships between flammability and drought tolerance influence vegetation dynamics during fires. A goal of the emerging subdiscipline of pyro‐ecophysiology is to identify ecophysiological traits that determine live fuel flammability, but empirical studies of these relationships are rare.
