This research explores the use of quantified Gestalt principles: symmetry, parallelism, and continuity, as design variables to evaluate the aesthetics of two-dimensional and three-dimensional product representations. To ...

The purpose of this research is to verify that the translational movement of a microbubble in a complex three-dimensional geometry subjected to a standing acoustic field, can be predicted with the acoustic pressure gradient ...

There is a need for electromechanical devices capable of operating in high temperature environments (>200°C) for a wide variety of applications. Today’s widebandgap semiconductor based power electronics have demonstrated ...

Exposure to significant changes in ambient pressure commonly occurs in divers during surfacing. These changes induce the formation of nitrogen bubbles in tissues and the presence of these bubbles can cause symptoms of ...

In order to predict and avoid disasters due to gene mutation, reliable DNA information is necessary to be monitored in real time. Existing DNA sensing technologies offer outstanding performance in terms of the resolution ...

The Regional Ocean Modeling System has been implemented in the San Juan bay estuary, Puerto Rico, to investigate quantitatively the ocean currents at a harbor scale with tidal, wind and river forcing and to develop a ...

Extensive resources have been utilized to develop SiC (silicon carbide) semiconductor devices, there has been relatively little effort into the development of adequate, environmentally benign electronic packaging materials ...

The need and desire to use renewable, sustainable, and efficient energy have led to increased research in this field as the long term consequences of not doing so will affect the environment. As an alternative to drying ...

Understanding wave breaking phenomena is a challenging problem that still lacks satisfactory understanding. The present study is concerned with the development of novel instrumentation adapted to obtain Lagrangian field ...

Complex colloidal fluids have become an emerging composite material useful for novel industrial and technological applications. The dispersion of colloids in anisotropic fluids with crystal-like structures, such as nematic ...
