Electrochemical Catheter Hub Operated by a Wearable Micropotentiostat Prevents Acinetobacter baumannii Infection In Vitro

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intraluminal infection of central venous catheters, used for long‐term treatment, can result in central line‐associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). These infections can be challenging to prevent and treat due to formation of biofilms within catheter lumens, which shield bacteria from the human immune response and conventional antimicrobial

Substantial drag reduction in turbulent flow using liquid-infused surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Experiments are presented that demonstrate how liquid-infused surfaces can reduce turbulent drag significantly in Taylor-Couette flow. The test liquid was water, and the test surface was composed of square microscopic grooves measuring 100 $\mu$m to 800 $\mu$m, filled with alkane liquids with viscosities from 0.3 to 1.4 times that of water.

Knowledge Infused Policy Gradients with Upper Confidence Bound for Relational Bandits [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Contextual Bandits find important use cases in various real-life scenarios such as online advertising, recommendation systems, healthcare, etc. However, most of the algorithms use flat feature vectors to represent context whereas, in the real world, there is a varying number of objects and relations among them to model in the context. For example, in a
