The relationship between contact resistance and contact force on Au coated carbon nanotube surfaces under low force conditions

open access: yes, 2009
Carbon-Nanotube (CNT) coated surfaces are investigated to determine theelectrical contact performance under low force conditions. The surfaces under investigationare vertically aligned multi-walled CNTs formed on a Silicon substrate and coated with anAu ...

The 3D nature of a real un-dismantled electrical contact interface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A 3D contact analysis and modeling suite of tools are developed and introduced in this work. The "3D Contact Map" of an electrical contact interface is presented demonstrating the 3D nature of the contact.

Application of Direct Resistance Heating in Hot Forging and Analysis of Processing Parameters based on Thermo-electro-mechanical Coupling FEM

open access: yesHigh Temperature Materials and Processes, 2018
A series of experiments were designed in order to directly heat the billet of 42CrMo4 to the forming temperature in the dies prior to forming and continue to heat the billet during the forming process.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

A comparison of the predictions of a finite element model and multiscale model for a rough MEMS electrical contact

open access: yes, 2013
Rough surface contact is difficult to model effectively due to multiple scales of detail that need to be considered. This work presents the results of a multiscale rough surface contact model in comparison to a finite element based deterministic model ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Improved micro-contact resistance model that considers material deformation, electron transport and thin film characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper reports on an improved analytic model forpredicting micro-contact resistance needed for designing microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) switches. The originalmodel had two primary considerations: 1) contact materialdeformation (i.e.
