Characterization of Mechanical Property Degradation of Ion-Irradiated Materials

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2022
Evaluating the degradation of mechanical properties under irradiation is crucial for nuclear structural materials. Although ion irradiations have been commonly used for fundamental research on irradiation effects and fast screening of potential materials,

Cost‐effective engineering of a small‐scale bioreactor

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, 2006
AbstractSeveral methods exist for increasing the scale of cell culture in the laboratory. While these methods provide significant increases in biomass, they are often prohibitively expensive for many laboratories. We have engineered a small‐scale bioreactor with a novel means of introducing oxygen through the catalytic breakdown of hydrogen peroxide ...

Effects of fluctuating energy input on the small scales in turbulence [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013
AbstractIn the standard cascade picture of three-dimensional turbulent fluid flows, energy is input at a constant rate at large scales. Energy is then transferred to smaller scales by an intermittent process that has been the focus of a vast literature. However, the energy input at large scales is not constant in most real turbulent flows.
