We report on a high-efficiency and self-priming active-valve micropump consisting of a microfluidic chamber structure in glass that is assembled with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastic sheet. The latter comprises two valving membranes and a central pump ...
The project is developed around a central courtyard in response to the site where it is located, while taking advantage of the existing slope to resolve the position of the singular buildings in relation to the system of grouping classrooms; the direct con ...
The Lighthouse Project proposes a house. Named a House it had to address inhabitation: for whom was defined by each student. Additionally the Lighthouse had to include a public function. Light was considered as an attractor and conductor of flows in the ur ...
Earthquakes around the world have affected many unanchored tanks used for storage of gasoline. When these unanchored tanks are subjected to strong motion, the moment generated at the base, by the mass of liquid contained in the tank, will cause partial upl ...
Unanchored steel tanks subjected to strong ground motion may experience rocking motion if the moment generated by the inertial mass of the content stored is greater than the resisting moment provided by the weight of the tank and its content. Rocking of th ...
The relation between the near–field and far–field properties of plasmonic nanostructures that exhibit Fano resonances is investigated in detail. We show that specific features visible in the asymmetric lineshape far–field response of such structures origin ...
The device (1 ) comprises an endoscopic interface (2) with a guiding tube (4) for guiding an endoscope, said tube (4) being mounted on bearings (5) for free rotation and comprising windows for allowing a contact between said endoscope and friction rollers ...
Chapter in the exhibition catalogue outlining the instigation and concept for the creation of the exhibition at the Biennale. The text focuses on the relation of urban development in Bahrain with the traditional and cultural connection to water and the sea ...
Interactions between curvature-induced secondary flow, streamwise flow and bed morphology in open-channel bends lead to the development of a typical bar-pool bed morphology, shaped by scour at the outer bank and deposition at the inner bank. This typical b ...
A study of non-anchored tanks found in Switzerland (Koller, 2003) revealed that the plastic rotation of the shell-to-bottom connection in four of the six tanks studied did not satisfy the 0.2 radians limit established by the Eurocode (Eurocode-8, 2005). Th ...
