Graphene is an allotrope of carbon having the structure of a plane sp2-hybridized atom with a band length of 1.42Å, and representing the basis of any carbonaceous material. This 2D material consisting on pure forms of carbon exhibits high crystalline and electronic quality. Thus, despite ... En savoir plus

Radiofrequency catheter ablation is the interventional therapy that be employed to eliminate cardiac tissue caused by arrhythmias. During radiofrequency catheter ablation, the formation of thrombus can occur at electrode tip if the temperature of interface between electrode tip and ... En savoir plus

I. INTRODUCTION Migraine is a neurological disorder which affects nearly 15% of the population and it has been estimated that the European Community spends about €27 billion in a year. Its symptoms may be categorized as attacks of often severe, throbbing head pain with sensory ... En savoir plus

Nano and pico-litre sessile droplet are of large interest in many areas including pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. In particularly it can be used for drug delivery, protein testing or to control nucleation in confined environment. Industrial and research use of such methods ... En savoir plus

In industrial countries, people spend most of their time indoors. Stringent heat-insulation measures in combination with deficient ventilation have a negative impact on indoor air quality [1]. Integration or retrofitting of a photocatalytic oxidation or PCO reactor into continuous flow ... En savoir plus

The aim of this paper is to optimize with COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation, the design geometry of a near field biosensor which could be used for dielectrophoretic (DEP) immobilization and simultaneous sensing of biomolecules of the order of nanometers to micrometers. COMSOL Multiphysics® ... En savoir plus

During growth, tissue expands and deforms. Given its elastic properties, stresses emerge in an expanding and deforming tissue. Cell rearrangements can dissipate these stresses and numerous experiments confirm the viscoelastic properties of tissues. On long time scales, as characteristic ... En savoir plus

Knee joints are often subject to high loads, which can lead to injury, malalignment, and the progression of osteoarthritis in patients. To better understand the behavior, and the effect of meniscal damage and different meniscectomy repair approaches, a 3D structural mechanics model of a ... En savoir plus

Silver and gold nanoparticles are widely used in the field of surface enhanced raman spectroscopy (SERS) because of the unique plasmonic properties. Plasmons or surface plasmon resonance result from the wavelength dependent dielectric properties of noble metals like Ag, Au, Pt etc., ... En savoir plus

Neural electrodes for sensing neurotransmitters are embedded within the brain, detecting electrical signals produced by kinetic reaction of neurotransmitters in the brain. Sensing utilizes cyclic voltammetry (CV), which applies sweeping potentials to identify chemical kinetics of ... En savoir plus
