Fully Wireless and Flexible Valves for Multiplexed and Prolonged Intravesical Liquid Release

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A fundamental mechanism for the simultaneous control of multiple magnetic valves is reported in a miniature soft robotic patch for intravesical drug delivery, enabling fully wireless and programmable liquid release. Integrated with a bioadhesive interface and induction‐coupling‐based liquid volume sensing, the soft robotic patch is promising to enable ...

Extending the Role of Computational Fluid Dynamics in Screw Machines [PDF]

, 2011
Previous publications show that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be readily used for the flow prediction and analysis of screw compressors. Several case studies are presented in this article to show the scope and applicability of such methods ...

Plasmonic Enhancement of Fluorescence and Protein Dynamics in Living Mammalian Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates plasmonic enhancement of the function of fluorescent voltage sensing proteins (genetically encoded voltage indicators, (GEVIs), QuasAr6) in live mammalian cells. Coupling to plasmonic nanoparticles does not just increase fluorescence, but influences the protein photocycle, creating a hybrid sensor with its response speed to ...

Off-design comparison of subcritical and partial evaporating ORCs in quasi-steady state annual simulations [PDF]

, 2018
The subcritical ORC (SCORC) is considered the industry standard due to its simple configuration, acceptable efficiency and low costs. However, it is known that alternative ORC configurations have the potential to increase efficiency. A cycle modification

Crystal Growth Engineering for Dendrite‐Free Zinc Metal Plating

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This research employed the rare‐earth ion dysprosium (Dy) to modulate aqueous zinc (Zn) metal plating. Integrated multiscale experiments and computational modeling unveiled the preferential adsorption of Dy on specific crystal facets, which activated screw dislocation‐driven Zn growth.

Single stage corpectomy. Expandable cage insertion and pedicle screw fixation by posterior approach.

, 2013
Objective: Burst fractures represent 10% to 20% of all spine injuries at or near the thoracolumbar junction, and can cause neurologic complications and kyphotic deformity. The goal of surgical intervention is to decompress the neural elements, restore vertebral body height, correct angular[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]

Flexoelectrically Induced Polar Topology in Twisted SrTiO3 Membranes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Twisted SrTiO3 bilayers host polar vortices of flexoelectric origin, revealed through combined experiment and theory. By reconstructing polarization from the toroidal moment of strain gradients, the work establishes a 3D chiral state with broken inversion and mirror symmetries.

Ammonium Salts as Curing Agents to Obtain Ionic Epoxy Resins With a Thermoplastic‐to‐Thermoset Transition

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic epoxy networks are prepared using ammonium salts as hardeners, leading to a two‐stage curing process with a thermoplastic‐like intermediate. This uncommon behavior enables extrusion and fabrication of thermoplastic prepregs that can be cured into thermoset composites.

A comparison between cascaded and single-stage ORC systems taken from the component perspective [PDF]

, 2019
Compared to single-stage ORC systems, cascaded ORC systems could have benefits for relatively high- temperature waste-heat recovery applications, which include the potential for higher expander isentropic efficiencies owing to lower expansion ratios, the
