A combined cycle power plant (CCPP) employs gas and steam turbines to generate 50% more power while utilizing the same fuel as a normal single cycle plant. The performance of a CCPP under full load is…
The electric field distribution is one of the main factors governing the long-term reliability of high voltage composite insulators. However, under severe pollution conditions, electric field stresses…
For testing the effectiveness of air purification devices in regard to the reduction of virus-containing aerosols, a test method involving test viruses has been lacking until now. The use of bacteriop…
Rapid point-of-care (POC) quantification of low virus RNA load would significantly reduce the turn-around time for the PCR test and help contain a fast-spreading epidemic. Herein, we report a droplet …
The COVID-19 pandemic is threatening billions of people's life all over the world. As of March 6, 2021, covid-19 has confirmed in 115,653,459 people worldwide. It has also a devastating effect on busi…
Powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR) are a high level of respiratory personal protective equipment. Like all mechanical devices, they are vulnerable to failure. The precise physiological consequen…
This commentary aims to address the field of social robots both in terms of the global situation and research perspectives. It has four polarities. First, it revisits the evolutions in robotics, which…
The epidemic at the beginning of this year, due to a new virus in the coronavirus family, is causing many deaths and is bringing the world economy to its knees. Moreover, situations of this kind are h…
The recent digital revolution led robots to become integrated more than ever into different domains such as agricultural, medical, industrial, military, police (law enforcement), and logistics. Robots…
The aim of this systematic review is to identify recent digital technologies used to detect early signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in preschool children (i.e., up to six years of age). A …
Piezoelectric actuators are candidates for use in radioactive environments but specific radiation tests are necessary to understand the radiation effects on the whole actuator assembly. The results of…
We evaluated the quantitative contribution of pulsatile flow to ultrafiltration (UF) in terms of fluid power, membrane stretch, and reduction of membrane layering. An in vitro comparison of the UF rat…
We introduce a new extension of image correlation spectroscopy (ICS) and image cross-correlation spectroscopy (ICCS) that relies on complete analysis of both the temporal and spatial correlation lags …
Experiments on dogs with long-term hypotony caused by blood loss have demonstrated irreversible lesions in the majority of cardiomyocytes and hypodynamic condition of the heart with a high content of …
A hybrid circuit of a semiconductor chip and synaptically connected neurons was implemented and characterized. Individual nerve cells from the snail Lymnaea stagnalis were immobilized on a silicon chi…
The N-terminus of the B-chain of insulin may adopt two alternative conformations designated as the T- and R-states. Despite the recent structural insight into insulin-insulin receptor (IR) complexes, …
The cleaning of fresh bones to remove their soft tissues while maintaining their structural integrity is a basic and essential part of bone studies. The primary issue is how the cleaning process influ…
We compared central venous oxygen saturation and central venous pressure (CVP) as indices of the effective blood volume during 50 degrees head-up tilt (anti-Trendelenburg's position) induced hypovolae…
PURPOSE: To develop an efficient MRI approach to estimate the nonwater proton fraction (f) in human brain.METHODS: We implement a brief, efficient magnetization transfer (MT) pulse that selectively sa…
Measurement of hemodynamic wall shear stress (WSS) is important in investigating the role of WSS in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Echo particle image velocimetry (echo PIV) is a n…
