Time Estimation of Polymer Translocation through Nano-Membrane

Maria-Alexandra Paun

In this paper, the charged polymer escapement phenomenon, via a little hole of nano-metric dimensions arranged in a constitutive biological membrane, is studied. We will present the case of the transport process of an ideal polymer in a 3-dimensional exten ...

Friction Induces Anisotropic Propulsion in Sliding Magnetic Microtriangles

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In viscous fluids, motile microentities such as bacteria or artificial swimmers often display different transport modes than macroscopic ones. A current challenge in the field aims at using friction asymmetry to steer the motion of microscopic particles. H ...

Large eddy simulation of the tip-leakage cavitating flow with an insight on how cavitation influences vorticity and turbulence

Mohamed Farhat, Huaiyu Cheng

Cavitation within a tip leakage flow remains a challenging issue in a variety of axial hydraulic machines. It is still not possible nowadays to predict cavitation occurrence in such a flow with acceptable accuracy. In the present study, we have carried out ...

Density effects on nanoparticle transport in the hyporheic zone

David Andrew Barry, Ho Ling Li, Qihao Jiang

A carbon solution composed of nanoparticles was used in experiments designed to explore nanoparticle transport characteristics within the hyporheic zone of a riverbed. Experiments and numerical simulations demonstrated that nanoparticle transport in the hy ...

Foldable aircraft with protective cage for transportation and transportability

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev, Przemyslaw Mariusz Kornatowski

An aerial vehicle, configured to transport cargo, and including a propulsion system and a foldable cage is described. The foldable cage is substantially linear while in a folded configuration, and substantially circular while in a deployed configuration. M ...

Using SAS functions and high-resolution isotope data to unravel travel time distributions in headwater catchments

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter

We use high-resolution tracer data from an experimental site to test theoretical approaches that integrate catchment-scale flow and transport processes in a unified framework centered on selective age sampling by streamflow and evapotranspiration fluxes. T ...

Wave-reducing Stern Flap on Ship Convoys to Protect Riverbanks

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Pfister, Robin Amacher, Théodora Cohen Liechti

Inland navigable waterways are significant in cargo transport and leisure activities. In parallel, these channels and rivers often suffer from the ship traffic, as the generated waves may damage waterway banks, along with their riparian fauna. As a consequ ...

Storage selection functions: A coherent framework for quantifying how catchments store and release water and solutes

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Gianluca Botter

We discuss a recent theoretical approach combining catchment-scale flow and transport processes into a unified framework. The approach is designed to characterize the hydrochemistry of hydrologic systems and to meet the challenges posed by empirical eviden ...

Probabilistic multimodal map-matching with rich smartphone data

Michel Bierlaire, Jingmin Chen

This article proposes a probabilistic method that infers the transport modes and the physical paths of trips from smartphone data that were recorded during travels. This method synthesizes multiple kinds of data from smartphone sensors, which provide relev ...

A compact synchrotron-based transmission X-ray microscope

Giorgio Margaritondo, Ying Chen

A compact transmission X-ray microscope has been designed and implemented based on a cylindrical symmetry around the optical axis that sharply limits the instabilities due to thermal mechanical drift. Identical compact multi-axis closed-loop actuation modu ...
