The formation of amyloid fibrils is a characterizing feature of a range of protein misfolding diseases, including Parkinson's disease. The propensity of native proteins to form such amyloid fibril, both in vitro and in vivo, is highly sensitive to the surr ...

Fault reactivation during fluid pressure oscillations: transition from stable to unstable slip

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Carolina Giorgetti, Corentin Jean-Marie Rémi Noël

High‐pressure fluid injection in deep geo‐reservoirs can induce earthquakes. Recent observations suggest that cyclic injections might trigger less seismicity than monotonic injections. Here, we report triaxial laboratory experiments conducted on faulted qu ...

A rise in fluid pressure decreases the effective normal stress acting on faults, facilitating reactivation. Within the upper crust, fluid pressure cyclic perturbations are common. They can originate from natural causes such as oceanic tides, seasonal hydro ...

An Experimental Study of Gas Lubricated Foil Journal Bearings Using an Instrumented Rotor with Wireless Telemetry

Karim Magdi Zakaria Abdelrahman Shalash

In order to increase their efficiency and power-density, turbomachines are continuously pushed to run faster, and hotter rotors. These requirements create enormous engineering challenges that affect the design of turbomachines down to the component level. ...

Fluidic Bypass Structures for Improving the Robustness of Liquid Scanning Probes

David Philipp Taylor

Objective: We aim to improve operational robustness of liquid scanning probes. Two main failure modes to be addressed are an obstruction of the flow path of the processing liquid and a deviation from the desired gap distance between probe and sample. Metho ...

A comparative study of earthquake source models in high- order accurate tsunami simulations

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Boris Bonev

The discontinuous Galerkin method is used to solve the non-linear spherical shallow water equations with Coriolis force. The numerical method is well-balanced and takes wetting/drying into account. The two fold goal of this work is a comparative study of d ...

Suppressing tip vortex cavitation by winglets

Mohamed Farhat, Ali Amini, Martino Reclari

Despite the numerous remedies prescribed so far, tip vortex cavitation (TVC) remains a major issue in design and operation of diverse applications. In this paper, we experimentally investigate the effectiveness of winglets in suppressing TVC. An elliptical ...

A Discussion About Two-Phase Flow Pressure Drop in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Mahbod Heidari

A proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell produces water during its operation which results in a liquid-gas two-phase flow within its flow channels. Because the length scales associated with flow channels are small, the two-phase flow in PEM fuel cell is ...
