Explicit formulas are given for the hydrodynamic slip lengths associated with longitudinal shear flow over a superhydrophobic grating where the menisci have partially invaded the cavities and are only weakly curved. For flat menisci that have depinned from the top of the grating and have displaced downwards into the cavities, the axial velocity is ...
Three-phase flow in porous media is encountered in many applications including subsurface carbon dioxide storage, enhanced oil recovery, groundwater remediation and the design of microfluidic devices. However, the pore-scale physics that controls three-phase flow under capillary dominated conditions is still not fully understood. Recent advances in...

Although human serum albumin (HSA) has been used for many decades, there is still a lack of suitable quality control (QC) attributes. Its current use as a raw material in gene-, cell- and tissue-therapies requires more appropriate functionally-relevant quality attributes and methods. This study investigated the conformational stability of serum alb...
The characteristics of planar defects (no loss of material volume) that arise during industrial plant operation are difficult to predict in detail, yet these can affect the performance of non-destructive testing (NDT) used to manage plant structural integrity. Inspection modelling is increasingly used to design and assess ultrasonic inspections of ...
An advanced paper-based LFIA using engineered cellulose-binding protein linker fused with antibody-binding domains was developed to resolve problems associated with conventional LFIA strip, including the limitation of quantitative analysis and low sensitivity. CBP31-BC linker was prepared by genetically fusing the cellulose binding modules of famil...
When the inkjet printer jets inks, the nozzle of head plate is easily getting wet due to low surface energy of ink, high jetting frequency and high plate surface energy. As a result, non-ejection or diagonal ejection of ink occurs at the time of jetting, which causes non-uniform inkjet printing issues. To solve this problem, in current study, a sel...

Dynamically reconfigurable nanoscale tuning of visible light properties is one of the ultimate goals both in the academic field of nanophotonics and the optics industry demanding compact and high-resolution display devices. Among various efforts incorporating actively reconfigurable optical materials into metamaterial structures, phase-change mater...
