Performance improvements of microchannel heat sink using wavy channel and nanofluids by Sakanova, Assel, Keian, Chan Chun, Zhao, Jiyun

“…It is found that in case of the pure water is applied as the coolant the heat transfer performance of the MCHS is significantly improved comparing with the traditional straight channel MCHS, while the replacement of the pure water by nanofluids makes the effect of wavy wall unnoticeable.…”

Study of flow, bioheat transfer and cardiac thermal pulse of aneurysm in the abdominal aortic by Ng, Eddie Yin Kwee, Looi, Leonard Jun Cong

“…AAA had a CTP that only responded to systolic phase at regular body temperature. Whereas the AAA wall would establish thermal homeostasis with blood temperature following a quasi-linear relationship as the body experienced fever or stage-2 hypothermia. …”

Minimally invasive inspection of technical and medical intracavities using a novel opto-digital scheme by Murukeshan Vadakke Matham.

“…This early stage of cancer development is indicated by the presence of polyps of very small size (≈mm) originating from the inner mucosal layer of the colon wall. The diagnostic techniques, which can identify small abnormalities such as polyp growth present at either the surface or subsurface of the mucosal layer, will be of much help in the early detection of cancer. …”

Dynamic simulation of granular filtration by Leong, Lee Man

“…Further works on optimizing the numerical model through the application of a better shape for the representation of the granular media and minimizing the gaps near the wall of the simulation domain are suggested. Experimental analysis could also be done on the filtration process using filter media resembling the design on the engineered grain.…”

‘You could start a new country, but you would need to discover new land’: exploring understandings of statehood with primary school pupils in England by Saddington, L, McConnell, FR

“…Geographical education in schools draws upon a range of representations from atlases to wall maps, which portray a highly ordered image of a world that is neatly divided up into bounded nation-states. …”

Progressive buckling of large-diameter monopiles due to boulder collision during installation by Chen, B

“…</p> <p>The third stage explored truncated 3D simulations, reducing the problem to a quarter section of the pile, and examining the impact of the ratio between the pile diameter and the pile wall thickness. These 3D models build links between the 2D benchmarks and 3D simulations, to complete the calculation approach for reliable simulation of the progressive buckling phenomena of monopiles during installation. …”

Potential of emodepside for vector-borne disease control by Khemrattrakool, P, Hongsuwong, T, Phanphoowong, T, Sriwichai, P, Poovorawan, K, Tarning, J, Kobylinski, KC

“…Emodepside targets the calcium-activated voltage-gated potassium slowpoke 1 (SLO-1) channels of presynaptic nerves of pharynx and body wall muscle cells of nematodes leading to paralysis, reduced locomotion and egg laying, starvation, and death. …”
