Geometric optimization of bodies submitted to an intense heat flux using bifurcated channel nets

open access: yesVetor, 2010
The present work studies the geometric optimization of a body submitted to intense heat flux. The body to be optimized is refrigerated by a ducts system whose circulating fluid will remove the heat.

Use and validity of principles of extremum of entropy production in the study of complex systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is shown how both the principles of extremum of entropy production, which are often used in the study of complex systems, follow from the maximization of overall system conductivities, under appropriate constraints.

Multi-Objective Constructal Design for Square Heat-Generation Body with “Arrow-Shaped” High-Thermal-Conductivity Channel

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Based on the square heat-generation body (HGB) with “arrow-shaped” high-thermal-conductivity channel (HTCC) model established in the previous literature, we performed multi-objective optimization (MOO) with maximum temperature difference (MTD ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
