Numerical Analysis of Convective Heat Transfer in Fenestration with Between-the-Glass Louvered Shades
(Elsevier, 2009-10)A two-dimensional steady laminar natural convection model of a window cavity with between-panes louvers (i.e., slats) was developed by approximating the system as a vertical cavity with isothermal walls at different ... -
Numerical considerations for the simulation of proppant transport through fractures
(Elsevier, 2019-09)Injection of a proppant slurry (fluid mixed with granular material) into a reservoir to keep fractures open is a common procedure in hydraulic fracturing treatments. This article presents the numerical methodology for ... -
Numerical modeling and experimental investigation of a prismatic battery subjected to water cooling
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-03-19)In this paper, a numerical model using ANSYS Fluent for a minichannel cold plate is developed for water-cooled LiFePO4 battery. The temperature and velocity distributions are investigated using experimental and computational ... -
Numerical Modeling of Solid-Phase Microextraction: Binding Matrix Effect on Equilibrium Time
(American Chemical Society, 2015-09-07)Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a well-known sampling and sample preparation technique used for a wide variety of analytical applications. As there are various complex processes taking place at the time of extraction ... -

Numerical Study on Single Flowing Liquid and Supercritical CO2 Drop in Microchannel: Thin Film, Flow Fields, and Interfacial Profile
(MDPI, 2018-06-01)Taylor segments, as a common feature in two- or multi-phase microflows, are a strong flow pattern candidate for applications when enhanced heat or mass transfer is particularly considered. A thin film that separates these ... -
Observing Scattering Mechanisms of Bubbled Freshwater Lake Ice Using Polarimetric RADARSAT-2 (C-Band) and UW-Scat (X- and Ku-Bands)
(IEEE, 2018-05-01)A winter time series of ground-based (X- and Ku-bands) scatterometer and spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) (C-band) fully polarimetric observations coincident with in situ snow and ice measurements are used to ... -
Ocular impression-taking - which material is best?
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019-01)Objectives: To assess the efficacy and effect on clinical signs of a polyvinylsiloxane (Tresident; Shütz Dental Group GmbH, Germany) compared with an irreversible hydrocolloid (Orthoprint; Zhermack SpA, Badia Polesine, ... -
Of, By, and For the Internet: New Media Studies and Public Scholarship
(Routledge, 2018)This paper proposes we must actively work to craft a new media studies of, by, and for the internet, one that must seek to transform rather than simply disrupt both scholarship and the broader social landscape, or our ... -
OFF-DIAGONAL CORNERS OF SUBALGEBRAS OF L(Cn)
(Elsevier, 2020-12-15)Let n ∈ N, and consider Cn equipped with the standard inner product. Let A ⊆ L(Cn) be a unital algebra and P ∈ L(Cn) be an orthogonal projection. The space L := P ⊥A|ran P is said to be an off-diagonal corner of A, and L ... -
Off-normal solar optical property measurements using an integrating sphere
(Elsevier, 2012-01-01)Shading devices attached to windows can be used to control solar gain and hence reduce building peak load and annual energy consumption. The performance of a shading device in this regard is strongly dependent on its solar ... -
Off-Normal Solar-Optical Performance of Pleated Drapery: Simulation versus Measurement
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2016-01)In recent years, significant advances have been made in modeling fenestration with shading attachments. Most shading devices have great potential for reducing both peak building cooling load and annual energy consumption ... -
Oil Spill Candidate Detection Using a Conditional Random Field Model on Simulated Compact Polarimetric Imagery
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-04-20)Although the compact polarimetric (CP) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mode of the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) offers new opportunities for oil spill candidate detection, there has not been an efficient machine ... -
Older males exhibit reduced anterior upper leg and anterior abdominal muscle thickness compared to younger males when matched for relative appendicular lean tissue
(Elsevier, 2021-10)Background Ageing-related muscle atrophy does not occur uniformly across the body; rather, atrophy occurs to a greater extent in specific muscle groups compared to others. However, site-specific comparisons of muscle mass ... -
Oligomerization and hemolytic properties of the C-terminal domain of pyolysin, a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin
(NRC Research Press, 2013-04)Pyolysin (PLO) belongs to the homologous family of the cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs), which bind to cell membranes containing cholesterol to form oligomeric pores of large size. The CDC monomer structure consists ... -
