Fully integrated digital microfluidics platform for automated immunoassay; a versatile tool for rapid, specific detection of a wide range of pathogens
(2019-03-01)
With the tangible threat posed by the release of chemical and biological warfare (CBW) agents, detection of airborne pathogens is a critical military and security concern. Recent air sampling techniques developed for ...
Power system security enhancement by HVDC links using a closed-loop emergency control
(2019-03-01)
In recent years, guaranteeing that large-scale interconnected systems operate safely, stably and economically has become a major and emergency issue. A number of high profile blackouts caused by cascading outages have ...
Thermal Performance Analysis of an Underground Closed Chamber with Human Body Heat Sources under Natural Convection
(2018-12-25)
In this article, a combined experimental and numerical study has been performed to investigate the thermal performance of a mine refuge chamber (MRC) under natural convection. In the current study, a 20-hour heating ...

Miniaturized Resonator and Bandpass Filter for Silicon-Based Monolithic Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits
(2018-12-12)
This paper introduces a unique approach for the implementation of a miniaturized on-chip resonator and its application for the first-order bandpass filter (BPF) design. This approach utilizes a combination of a broadside-coupling ...
Preparation of N-doped carbon dots based on starch and their application in white LED
(2018-12-01)
N-doped carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized simply and economically by a one-step hydrothermal method using starch as a carbon source and ethylenediamine (EDA) as a nitrogen dopant. The prepared CDs possess the properties ...
A review of acid recovery from acidic mining waste solutions using solvent extraction
(2018-12-01)
The minerals industry is increasingly being forced by regulatory and cost pressures to reduce the amount of liquid acidic waste they produce. This requires a strong focus on waste reduction by recycling, regeneration and ...
Design and dynamic investigation of low-grade power generation systems with CO2 transcritical power cycles and R245fa organic Rankine cycles
(2018-12-01)
This paper deals with the dynamic experimental investigation on low-grade power generation systems with CO2 transcritical power cycles (T-CO2) and R245fa organic Rankine cycles (ORC). These two systems were heated indirectly ...
Abrasive water jet drilling of advanced sustainable bio-fibre-reinforced polymer/hybrid composites : a comprehensive analysis of machining-induced damage responses
(2018-12-01)
This paper aims at investigating the effects of variable traverse speeds on machining-induced damage of fibre-reinforced composites, using the abrasive water jet (AWJ) drilling. Three different types of epoxy-based composites ...
