Fate of the pathogen indicators phage phiX174 and Ascaris suum eggs during the production of struvite fertilizer from source-separated urine

Tamar Kohn, Brian Pecson, Loïc Decrey, Kai Udert

Human urine has the potential to be a sustainable, locally and continuously available source of nutrients for agriculture. Phosphate can be efficiently recovered from human urine in the form of the mineral struvite (MgNH4PO4•6H2O). However, struvite format ...

Network thermodynamics in the post-genomic era

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Keng Cher Soh

Network models have been used to study the underlying processes and principles of biological systems for decades, providing many insights into the complexity of life. Biological systems require a constant flow of free energy to drive these processes that o ...

Thermal-Aware Workload Scheduling for Energy Efficient Data Centers

Nedeljko Vasic

Increasing heat dissipation density is becoming a limiting factor in air-cooled data centers. The main control objective in data center thermal management is to keep the temperature of all the data processing equipment below a certain threshold and at the ...

Thermodynamic Analysis of Biodegradation Pathways

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Stacey Deleria Finley

Microorganisms provide a wealth of bio-degradative potential in the reduction and elimination of xenobiotic compounds in the environment. One useful metric to evaluate potential biodegradation pathways is thermodynamic feasibility. However, experimental da ...

Residual stresses in diffusion barrier films on polymer substrates for flexible displays

Yves Leterrier

A theoretical modeling framework is proposed to follow shape and residual stress evolutions of layered flexible display structures with respect to deposition, ambient temperature and relative humidity conditions. This model couples the mechanical equilibri ...

Characterization of an inertial micro gripper based on adhesion forces

Reymond Clavel, Walter Driesen, Mélanie Dafflon

Adhesive forces become predominant in the micro world comparing to the gravity effect implying the development of new micro manipulation strategies. This paper presents the design and conception of a gripper that use the inertial principle for the release ...

Water content of ambient aerosol during the Pittsburgh air quality study

Satoshi Takahama

The aerosol water content and volumetric growth factors of fine particulate matter were measured during July-August 2001 and January-June 2002 in an urban park about 6 km from downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Most of the aerosol during the study was tran ...

Modeling the diurnal variation of nitrate during the Pittsburgh Air Quality Study

Satoshi Takahama

A thermodynamic model, the Gibbs Free-Energy Minimization model (GFEMN), was used to simulate the partitioning of PM2.5 nitrate aerosol and nitric acid using highly time-resolved inorganic measurements collected at the Pittsburgh Air Quality Study during J ...

Construction material monitoring with "optical hair" hygrometers

Pascal Kronenberg

Moisture is an essential parameter in the behaviour of capillary-porous construction materials such as timber and concrete. It affects liquid and gas transport phenomena, chemical and biological degradation processes, mechanical properties and, in the case ...

Truly bulk-sensitive spectroscopic measurements of valence in heavy fermion materials

Marco Grioni

Intermediate valence is one of the typical phenomena of systems with strong electronic correlation. The Anderson impurity model predicts a scaling of the valence with the reduced temperature T/T-K, which is difficult to observe by traditional surface-sensi ...
