Optical Quartz Crystal Microbalance (OQCM) for Dual-Mode Analysis
(2018)
Label-free biosensors allow for real-time measurements of the target molecule, providing valuable kinetic data about the unperturbed biological system. Yet, they generally rely on a single transduction mechanism that ...
Probing Heat Transport and Energy Conversion at the Atomic and Single Molecule Scale
(2018)
The study of heat transport and energy conversion constitutes an important subject in modern physics and engineering research. The widely-applied Fourier’s and Planck’s laws have proven to be very useful to describe heat ...
Spatial Nonlocality and Its Effects on the Scattering Characteristics of Wave-Bearing Media
(2022)
Reciprocity is the principle in the study of wave propagation that states that given a source and a receiver in a linear domain, switching their locations will not affect the received signal. Systems that break reciprocity ...
Theoretical and Experimental Study of Fuel Injector Tip Wetting as a Source of Particulate Emissions in Gasoline Direct-Injection Engines
(2019)
Gasoline fuel film deposited on the tip of a fuel injector, i.e. injector tip wetting, has been identified as a significant source of particulate emissions at some operating conditions of gasoline direct-injection engines. ...
Regulating Gene Expression Through DNA Mechanics: Tightly Looped DNA Represses Transcription.
(2010)
It is now widely accepted that the mechanical state of DNA can play a major role in regulating the activity of RNA polymerase (RNAP). Not only have the global levels of supercoiling been shown to regulate transcription, ...
