The aim of this work is to study heat pump cycles, using CO 2 based mixtures as working fluids. Since adding other chemicals to CO 2 moves the critical point and generally equilibrium lines, it is expected that lower operating pressures as…
Luminescence thermometry has been extensively exploited in the last decades both from the fundamental and applied point of views. The application of photoluminescent nanoparticles on the microscopic level based on rare-earth doped (RED)…
Modern science is dependent on imaging on the nanoscale, often achieved through processes that detect secondary electrons created by a highly focused incident charged particle beam. Multiple types of measurement noise limit the ultimate…
Capillary refill time (CRT) is a method for evaluating peripheral perfusion by visual assessment. CRT is especially useful for quick evaluations in the absence of sophisticated equipment. However, there are repeatability and reproducibility…
The ability to directly measure radiative-association rate coefficients for reactions between ions and neutral molecules has long challenged chemical physics laboratories, yet radiative association is one of the most important processes…
We present a new numerical method for calculating the transfer of ionizing radiation, called C^2-Ray=Conservative, Causal Ray-tracing method. The method is explicitly photon-conserving, so the depletion of ionizing photons by bound-free…
A priori, cosmic-ray measurements offer a unique capability to determine the vertical profile of atmospheric temperatures directly from ground. However, despite the increased understanding of the impact of the atmosphere on cosmic-ray…
In this paper, we present the design and the analysis of an electrochemical circuit for measuring the concentrations of therapeutic drugs using structure-switching aptamers. Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids, whose sequence is…
This paper explores the prospect of CMOS devices to assay lead in drinking water, using calorimetry. Lead occurs together with traces of radioisotopes, e.g. Lead-210, producing $\gamma$-emissions with energies ranging from 10 keV to several…
Because of growing interest in temperature-based sampling methods like replica exchange, this note aims to make some observations and raise some potentially important questions which we have not seen addressed sufficiently in the…
Cosmic rays (CRs) heavily impact the chemistry and physics of cold and dense star-forming regions. However, characterising their ionisation rate is still challenging from an observational point of view. In the past, a few analytical…
A numerical modeling study based on 3D finite element method (FEM) simulation and 1D analytical solutions has been carried out to evaluate the capabilities of two ac methods for measuring in-plane thermal conductivity of thin film deposited…
Subspace methods like canonical variate analysis (CVA) are regression based methods for the estimation of linear dynamic state space models. They have been shown to deliver accurate (consistent and asymptotically equivalent to quasi maximum…
