Modeling Lysis Dynamcis Of Pore Forming Toxins And Determination Of Mechanical Properties Of Soft Materials
(2015-08-07)Pore forming toxins are known for their ability to efficiently form transmembrane pores which eventually leads to cell lysis. PFTs have potential applications in devel-oping novel drug and gene delivery strategies. Although ... -
Modeling of Coalescence Cascades in Liquid-Liquid dispersions
Agitated dispersions of one liquid in another immiscible liquid invert at a critical value of dispersed phase fraction, nearly catastrophically. The dispersed phase becomes continuous and vice versa. This phenomenon has ... -
Modeling of Contact in Orthotropic Materials using Variational Asymptotic Method
(2018-06-18)Composites are materials which cater to the present and future needs of many demanding industries, such as aerospace, as they are weight-sensitive for a given requirement of strength and stiff ness, corrosion resistant, ... -
Modeling Of Contaminant Transport Through Soils And Landfill Liners
(2013-04-26)Accurate modeling of contaminant transport and sorption processes in the soil and landfill liners is a prerequisite for realistic model simulations of contaminant fate and transport in the environment. These studies are ... -
Modeling Of Liquid Flow In A Packed Bed Under Influence Of Gas Flow
(2009-03-05)The aim of the current study is to model (non-wetting) liquid flow in a packed bed under the influence of gas flow. It has been observed experimentally that non-wetting liquid flows in a packed bed in form of small droplets ... -
Modeling of phase inversion phenomenon
Turbulent liquid–liquid dispersions are frequently encountered in the chemical industry in various operations such as liquid–liquid extraction, liquid–liquid reactions, polymerization, and direct contact heat transfer. ... -
Modeling of Solar Radiation Management : A Comparison of Simulations using Reduced Solar Constant and Stratospheric Aerosols
(2017-11-22)The climatic effects of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering have been often modeled by simply reducing the solar constant. This is most likely valid only for space sunshades and not for atmosphere and surface ... -
Modeling of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Centrifugal Compressors for Brayton Power Cycles
Due to several perceived advantages, supercritical Carbon dioxide (sCO2) cycles are viewed as potential replacements for steam-based power generation. Their successful deployment depends on several factors - one important ... -
Modeling of the Haltere-A Natural Micro-Scale Vibratory Gyroscope
(2018-06-05)Vibratory gyroscopes have gained immense popularity in the microsystem technology because of their suitability to planar fabrication techniques. With considerable effort in design and fabrication, MEMS (Micro-electro-mec ... -
Modeling of thermo-fluid dynamic processes in a new, Low-Emission two-stroke IC engine
A comprehensive numerical technique has been developed to simulate the various processes in a two?stroke engine. More specifically, detailed multi?dimensional models that can simulate compressible, turbulent, two?phase ... -
Modeling Of Transport Phenomena In Arteries
(2013-05-23)Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease that occurs due to the build-up of lipids, cholesterol and other substances in the arterial wall, collectively called plaque, leading to narrowing of the vessel lumen and, in time, ... -
Modeling Salinity Impact on Ground Water Irrigated Turmeric Crop
(2018-04-18)Soils in irrigated fields are impacted by irrigation water quality. Salts in the irrigation water may accumulate in the soil depending on amount of leaching, the quality of water and type of ions present. Salinity is an ... -
Modeling the Dependence Structure of Hydroclimatic Extremes
Analysis of extremes in a complex interacting hydroclimatic system is challenging due to rarity of events, small sample size, poor state of data or missing data, lack of statistical tools for analyzing observed changes and ... -
Modeling The Population Dynamics Of Erythrocytes To Identify Optimal Drug Dosages For The Treatment Of Hepatitis C Virus Infection
(2016-04-28)The current treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection – combination therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin – elicits sustained responses in only ~50% of the patients treated. Greater cumulative exposure ... -
Modelling And Analysis Of Fish Inspired Ionic Polymer Metal Composite Flapping Fins
(2014-03-03)Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC) are a new class of smart materials that have attractive characteristics such as muscle like softness, low voltage and power consumption, and good performance in aqueous environments. ... -
Modelling and evaluation of nitrate transit times in groundwater systems
Transit time distribution is one of the fundamental descriptors of flow and transport behavior of catchments. Intensification of agriculture and consequent anthropogenic inputs of nitrate rich fertilizers in agricultural ... -
Modelling and Experimental Studies on Dynamic Behaviour of Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors
lectrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) can store and deliver electrical energy at high power density with long cycle life, and can absorb peak charge/discharge loads. EDLCs can be used with batteries to insulate ... -
Modelling and optimization of novel therapies for HIV and hepatitis C virus infections
Curing infections by HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) have remained a challenge for a long time due to their efficient ways of evading host immune responses and therapies. They do so by rapidly mutating their genomes, which ...
