The Complexity of Constructing Gerechte Designs [PDF]

open access: yesThe Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2009
Gerechte designs are a specialisation of latin squares. A gerechte design is an $n\times n$ array containing the symbols $\{1,\dots,n\}$, together with a partition of the cells of the array into $n$ regions of $n$ cells each. The entries in the cells are required to be such that each row, column and region contains each symbol exactly once.

Constructal design of T-shaped cavity cooled by convection

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper, we rely on the Constructal method to optimize the geometry of a T-shaped cavity intruded into a conducting solid wall. The cavity is cooled by a steady stream of convection while the solid generates heat uniformly and it is insulated on ...

A constructal theory framework for optimizing HRSG design: Enhancing thermal performance and cost-effectiveness

open access: yesResults in Engineering
This study utilizes Constructal Theory and genetic algorithms to formulate a comprehensive optimization framework for selecting the appropriate type of Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) in combined cycle power plants.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Constructal Law and the Unifying Principle of Design

open access: yes, 2013
Design happens everywhere, whether in animate objects (e.g., dendritic lung structures, bacterial colonies, and corals), inanimate patterns (river basins, beach slope, and dendritic crystals), social dynamics (pedestrian traffic flows), or engineered ...

On the construction of handcuffed designs

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1974
AbstractA handcuffed design with parameters ν, k, λ consists of a set of ordered k-subsets of a v-set, called handcuffed blocks; in a block (a1, a2, ak) each element is assumed to be “handcuffed” to its neighbors. A block, therefore, contains k − 1 handcuffed pairs, the pairs being considered unordered.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Constructal design of particle volume fraction in nanofluids

open access: yes, 2009
We perform a constructal design of particle volume fraction of four types of nanofluids used for heat conduction in four systems: a circular disk, a sphere, a plane slab, and a circular annulus.

Constructal Design of Thermal Systems (Chapter 17)

open access: yes, 2013
Constructal Theory accounts for the universal phenomenon of generation and evolution of design. Constructal Theory has been used to explain deterministically the generation of shape in flow structures of nature (river basins, lungs, atmospheric ...

Nanofluids Research: Key Issues

open access: yesNanoscale Research Letters, 2010
Nanofluids are a new class of fluids engineered by dispersing nanometer-size structures (particles, fibers, tubes, droplets) in base fluids. The very essence of nanofluids research and development is to enhance fluid macroscopic and megascale properties ...
