Digital signal processors are ubiquitous in electronics, with applications ranging from sound processing to software-defined radio. Finite impulse response (FIR) filters are among the components that are used for the processing; the implementation is tailo ...
Background. Red blood cells collected in citrate-phosphate-dextrose can be stored for up to 42 days at 4 degrees C in saline-adenine-glucose-mannitol additive solution. During this controlled, but nevertheless artificial, ex vivo ageing, red blood cells ac ...
Heat exchangers are key components of energy conversion systems, including HVAC&R equipment. The compact microchannel design of a heat exchanger (MCHX) allows for significant reduction of its volume, weight, and raw material, in comparison to conventional ...
A channel W is said to be input-degraded from another channel W' if W can be simulated from W' by randomization at the input. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a channel to be input-degraded from another one. We show that any decoder that ...
Ion channel models are the building blocks of computational neuron models. Their biological fidelity is therefore crucial for the interpretation of simulations. However, the number of published models, and the lack of standardization, make the comparison o ...
In this project, we have studied a new microchannel fabrication technique based on the idea of the transference of a thin layer of Si3N4 on top of grooves to form channels. In order to do so, we have created two different wafers. The first of them was a si ...
Transient pressure drop of individual channels during flow boiling of R134a in four 0.54 mm square parallel minichannels was experimentally studied in this work. The design of the test section enabled the experimenter to control and to vary heat flux indep ...
The ordering of communication channels was first introduced by Shannon. In this paper, we aim to find a characterization of the Shannon ordering. We show that W' contains W if and only if W is the skew-composition of W' with a convex-product channel. This ...
Eukaryotic cyclic nucleotide-modulated (CNM) ion channels perform various physiological roles by opening in response to cyclic nucleotides binding to a specialized cyclic nucleotide-binding domain. Despite progress in structure-function analysis, the confo ...
The chloride channel (ClC) protein family comprises both chloride (Cl-) channels and chloride/proton (Cl/H+) antiporters. In prokaryotes and eukaryotes, these proteins mediate the movement of Cl- ions across the membrane. In eukaryotes, ClC proteins play a ...
