Design and analysis of planar UHF wearable antenna

Slotted PIFA on the textile substrate suitable for body-centric applications in the UHF band is proposed. The influence of slot in the ground plane on the antenna parameters is theoretically investigated using simplified model of human body. © 2012 IEEE. ...

Forces exerted by a correlated fluid on embedded inclusions

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol

We investigate the forces exerted on embedded inclusions by a fluid medium with long-range correlations, described by an effective scalar field theory. Such forces are the basis for the medium-mediated Casimir-like force. To study these forces beyond therm ...

Integrated MEMS actuation for force spectroscopy in liquid

Jürgen Brugger, Rosario Maurizio Gullo, Jonas Gustav Henriksson

This work aims to develop arrays of individually actuated cell force spectroscopy probes. Cross et al. (Nat. Nanotech. 2007) have shown that human cells undergo substantial mechanical changes as they become cancerous. Cell force spectroscopy using AFM has ...

Wireless manipulation of single cells using magnetic microtransporters

Mahmut Selman Sakar

For such biomedical applications as single cell manipulation and targeted delivery of chemicals, it is important to fabricate microstructures that can be powered and controlled without a tether in fluidic environments. In this work, we describe the constru ...

On The Stochastic Modeling Of Rigid Body Systems With Application To Polymer Dynamics

John Maddocks

The stochastic equations of motion for a system of interacting rigid bodies in a solvent are formulated and studied. Three-dimensional bodies of arbitrary shape, with arbitrary couplings between translational and rotational degrees of freedom, as arise in ...

On surface tension modelling using the level set method

The paper describes and compares the performance of two options for numerically representing the surface tension force in combination with the level set interface-tracking method. In both models, the surface tension is represented as a body force, concentr ...

Gravity-driven slug motion in capillary tubes

Dani Or, Ivan Lunati

The velocity of a liquid slug falling in a capillary tube is lower than predicted for Poiseuille flow due to presence of menisci, whose shapes are determined by the complex interplay of capillary, viscous, and gravitational forces. Due to the presence of m ...

Transient Behavior of variable speed pump-turbine units

François Avellan, Jean-Jacques Simond, Christophe Nicolet, Basile Kawkabani, Yves Pannatier, Alexander Schwery

This paper presents the modeling, simulation and analysis of the dynamic behavior of a fictitious 2x320 MW variable speed pump-turbine power plant including hydraulic system, electrical installations, rotating inertias and control systems. First, the model ...

Young's law and the effects of interfacial energy on the pressure at the solid-fluid interface

Ivan Lunati

In a recent paper [R. Finn, Phys. Fluids 18, 047102 (2006)] the attention has been drawn on the tension component perpendicular to the solid surface that results from Young's law. Considering the problem of a solid sphere floating in zero gravity, it has b ...
