The mechanism responsible for the production of energetic ions in the plume of hollow cathodes for electric propulsion is still an open issue. These ions are of concern to cathode and thruster lifetime, particularly for cathodes operating at high (>20 A) d ...
Periodic buckled beams possess a geometrically nonlinear, load-deformation relationship and intrinsic length scales such that stable, nonlinear waves are possible. Modeling buckled beams as a chain of masses and nonlinear springs which account for transver ...
Modular aircraft for flexible transportation The modular Clip-Air aircraft decouples the transportation module - a flying wing - from its load - capsules that can carry passengers, freight, or fuel. This project is laying the groundwork for tomorrow’s air ...
With growing awareness of the vulnerability of the near-Earth space region and the anticipated surge in satellite objects, efforts are underway to assess and implement various mitigation strategies. These aim to minimize the impact of space activities and ...
In recent years, considerable interest has been devoted to the interactions between cavitation bubbles and tissue-mimicking materials due to their promising applications in medicine and biomedical sciences. The strong fluid-structure interaction between a ...
We present an experimental study of the low-energy stereodynamics of the Ne(3P2)+N2 reaction. Supersonic expansions of the two reactants are superposed in a merged beam experiment, where individual velocity control of the two beams allows us to reach avera ...
In article number 1800482, Andrea Testino and co‐workers investigate calcium carbonate clusters in‐situ by small angle X‐ray scattering using a liquid jet setup at constant pH, temperature, and saturation level. The saturation is kept constant and below th ...
Motivated by improving the performance of particle-based Monte-Carlo simulations in the transitional regime, Fokker–Planck kinetic models have been devised and studied as approximations of the Boltzmann collision operator. By generalizing the linear drift ...
Basis adaptation in Homogeneous Chaos spaces rely on a suitable rotation of the underlying Gaussian germ. Several rotations have been proposed in the literature resulting in adaptations with different convergence properties. In this paper we present a new ...
Many newly developed active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are poorly soluble in water and thus have a dissolution-limited bioavailability. The bioavailability of Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) class II APIs increases if they dissolve fas ...
