A Versatile Approach to Stabilize Liquid-Liquid Interfaces using Surfactant Self-Assembly

Stabilizing liquid-liquid interfaces, whether between miscible or immiscible liquids, is crucial for a wide range of applications, including energy storage, microreactors, and biomimetic structures. In this study, a versatile approach for stabilizing the w ...

Influence of pore-scale heterogeneity on the precipitation patterns in Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP)

Ariadni Elmaloglou

The principle of tailoring material properties to improve the mechanical behaviour of soils through compaction or cement grouting dates to the 60s. The increasing trends of urbanization worldwide require new solutions for the development of resilient and s ...

Visualization and modelling of dynamic flow in fibrous preforms for liquid composite molding

Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

Nowadays, Liquid Composite Molding techniques are often used to manufacture high quality fiber reinforced composite parts at a relatively low cost. These involve an infiltration process, in which a liquid resin is forced to ingress into a dry fibrous porou ...

Active microrheology in corrugated channels: Comparison of thermal and colloidal baths

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Hypothesis: The dynamics of colloidal suspension confined within porous materials strongly differs from that in the bulk. In particular, within porous materials, the presence of boundaries with complex shapes entangles the longitudinal and transverse degre ...

Raman microspectroscopy reveals unsaturation heterogeneity at the lipid droplet level and validates an in vitro model of bone marrow adipocyte subtypes

Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Vasco Ledebur de Antas de Campos, Josefine Catharina Pedersen Tratwal, Daniel Naveed Tavakol, Charles Christopher Bataclan

Bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) constitute the most abundant stromal component of adult human bone marrow. Two subtypes of BMAds have been described, the more labile regulated adipocytes (rBMAds) and the more stable constitutive adipocytes (cBMAds), which d ...

On the effect of a penetrating recirculation region on the bifurcations of the flow past a permeable sphere

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Giuseppe Antonio Zampogna, Matteo Ciuti

We study the flow past a permeable sphere modeled using homogenization theory. The flow through the porous medium is described by the Darcy law, in which the permeability quantifies the resistance for the fluid to pass through the microstructure. A slip co ...

Data-Driven Reduced-Order Modeling of Convective Heat Transfer in Porous Media

Carlo Fiorina

This work presents a data-driven Reduced-Order Model (ROM) for parametric convective heat transfer problems in porous media. The intrusive Proper Orthogonal Decomposition aided Reduced-Basis (POD-RB) technique is employed to reduce the porous medium formul ...

A Note on BIBO Stability

Michaël Unser

The statements on the BIBO stability of continuoustime convolution systems found in engineering textbooks are often either too vague (because of lack of hypotheses) or mathematically incorrect. What is more troubling is that they usually exclude the identi ...

Preferential retention of algal carbon in benthic invertebrates: Stable isotope and fatty acid evidence from an outdoor flume experiment

Tom Ian Battin

According to the River Continuum Concept, headwater streams are richer in allochthonous (e.g. terrestrial leaves) than autochthonous (e.g. algae) sources of organic matter for consumers. However, compared to algae, leaf litter is of lower food quality, par ...

A cellulolytic fungal biofilm enhances the consolidated bioconversion of cellulose to short chain fatty acids by the rumen microbiome

Robert Lawrence Shahab

The ability of the multispecies biofilm membrane reactors (MBM reactors) to provide distinguished niches for aerobic and anaerobic microbes at the same time was used for the investigation of the consolidated bioprocessing of cellulose to short chain fatty ...

New method for measuring compressibility and poroelasticity coefficients in porous and permeable rocks

Lucas Xan Pimienta

Over the last decades, a large understanding has been gained on the elastic properties of rocks. Rocks are, however, porous materials, which properties depend on both response of the bulk material and of the pores. Because in that case both the applied ext ...

Sexual dimorphism in hepatic lipids is associated with the evolution of metabolic status in mice

Rolf Gruetter, Marc Moniatte, Hongxia Lei, Jonathan Paz Montoya, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares

Ectopic lipid accumulation in the liver is implicated in metabolic disease in an age- and sex-dependent manner. The role of hepatic lipids has been well established within the scope of metabolic insults in mice, but has been insufficiently characterized un ...

Multiscale methods for Stokes flow in heterogeneous media

Ondrej Budác

Fluid flow in porous media is a multiscale process where the effective dynamics, which is often the goal of a computation, depends strongly on the porous micro structure. Resolving the micro structure in the whole porous medium can, however, be prohibitive ...

A Dirichlet problem involving the divergence operatord

Bernard Dacorogna, Gyula Csató

We consider the problem {div u + (a; u) = f in Omega u = u(0) on partial derivative Omega. We show that if curl a (x(0)) not equal for some x(0) epsilon Omega, then the problem is solvable without restriction on f. We also discuss the regularity of the sol ...

Dysregulation of soluble epoxide hydrolase and lipidomic profiles in anorexia nervosa

Pierre Magistretti, Jiangyan Yang

Individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) restrict eating and become emaciated. They tend to have an aversion to foods rich in fat. Because epoxide hydrolase 2 (EPHX2) was identified as a novel AN susceptibility gene, and because its protein product, soluble ...
