A disconcerting ramification of water pollution caused by burgeoning populations, rapid industrialization and modernization of agriculture, has been the exponential increase in the incidence of algal growth across the globe. Harmful algal…
We develop a mother machine-like microfluidic device specifically designed to track the proliferation of T-cells via live-cell microscopy. Although numerous microfluidic setups have been developed to study cell proliferation at the…
Biological oscillations are periodic changes in various signaling processes crucial for the proper functioning of living organisms. These oscillations are modeled by ordinary differential equations, with coefficient variations leading to…
In this paper, an efficient fragile blind quad watermarking scheme for image tamper detection and recovery based on lifting wavelet transform and genetic algorithm is proposed. TRLG generates four compact digests with super quality based on…
The present study evaluates the removal capacity of two high rate algae ponds (HRAPs) to eliminate 12 pharmaceuticals (PhACs) and 26 of their corresponding main metabolites and transformation products. The efficiency of these ponds,…
Sperm motility is a prerequisite for male fertility. Enhancing the concentration of motile sperms in assisted reproductive technologies - for human and animal reproduction - is typically achieved through aggressive methods such as…
In this paper, we propose a local model reduction approach for subsurface flow problems in stochastic and highly heterogeneous media. To guarantee the mass conservation, we consider the mixed formulation of the flow problem and aim to solve…
The acoustofluidic method holds great promise for manipulating microorganisms. When exposed to the steady vortex structures of acoustic streaming flow, these microorganisms exhibit intriguing dynamic behaviors, such as hydrodynamic trapping…
In situ observation of precipitation or phase separation induced by solvent addition is important in studying its dynamics. Combined with optical and fluorescence microscopy, microfluidic devices have been leveraged in studying the phase…
As large--distance rays (say, 10\,-\,$24 ^\circ$) approach the solar surface approximately vertically, travel times measured from surface pairs for these large separations are mostly sensitive to vertical flows, at least for shallow flows…
Liquid-liquid segmented flows in microchannels have been extensively investigated in the context of nanoparticle synthesis. The enhanced mixing in the slugs results in monodispersed particles. Earlier studies have focused on Organic-Aqueous…
Parasitic extraction is a powerful tool in the design process of electromechanical devices, specifically as part of workflows that check electromagnetic compatibility. A novel scheme to extract impedances from CAD device models, suitable…
We extend a three-stage anaerobic digestion model by incorporating microbial mortality into the hydrolysis of particulate organic matter. The model describes hydrolysis, acidogenesis, and methanogenesis, each with distinct dilution and…
Estimating the parameters of compact binaries which coalesce and produce gravitational waves is a challenging Bayesian inverse problem. Gravitational-wave parameter estimation lies within the class of multifidelity problems, where a variety…
Bayesian statistical inference has become increasingly important for the analysis of observations from the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors. To this end, iterative simulation techniques, in particular nested…
Scalable technologies for the production of bio-compatible complex microfibers with controllable size and composition at competitively high throughput are urgently needed in order to meet the growing demand for such microstructures in…
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of primary treatment on the performance of two pilot-scale high rate algal ponds (HRAPs) treating urban wastewater, considering their treatment efficiency, biomass productivity, characteristics…
Cell spheroids are in vitro multicellular model systems that mimic the crowded micro-environment of biological tissues. Their mechanical characterization can provide valuable insights in how single-cell mechanics and cell-cell interactions…
Oysters are a vital keystone species in coastal ecosystems, providing significant economic, environmental, and cultural benefits. As the importance of oysters grows, so does the relevance of autonomous systems for their detection and…
High-throughput screening (HTS) using model organisms is a promising method to identify a small number of genes or drugs potentially relevant to human biology or disease. In HTS experiments, robots and computers do a significant portion of…
