The nanostructure, wear and corrosion performance of arc-evaporated CrBxNy nanocomposite coatings
(2009)
The composition, nanostructure, tribological and corrosion behaviour of reactive arc evaporated CrBxNy coatings have been studied and compared to CrN. The CrBxNy coatings were deposited on a commercial Oerlikon Balzers RCS ...
Immersed boundary method for the MHD flows of liquid metals
(2009)
Wall-bounded magnetohydrodynamic (MHD hereafter) flows are of great theoretical and practical interest. Even for laminar cases, MHD simulations are associated with very high computational cost due to the resolution ...
Mathematical modeling of herpes simplex virus distribution in solid tumors: Implications for cancer gene therapy
(2009)
Purpose: Although oncolytic viral vectors show promise for the treatment of various cancers, ineffective initial distribution and propagation throughout the tumor mass often limit the therapeutic response. A mathematical ...
Numerical modeling of turbulent airflow and particle deposition in a bifurcating airway model
(Affiliation: UCY-CompSci Computational Sciences Laboratory, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Radhakrishnan, H.UCY-CompSci Computational Sciences Laboratory, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus, 2009)
Understanding transport and deposition of inhaled particles in the human airways plays a crucial role in the targeted therapy of pulmonary diseases, and the administration of inhaled medicines. Numerous researchers have ...

Modeling of the self-propagating reactions of nickel and aluminum multilayered foils
(2009)
In this study, we performed simulations of self-propagating reactions of nanoscale nickel-aluminum multilayers using numerical methods. The model employs two-dimensional heat transfer equations coupled with heat generation ...
Image-based multiscale modeling of collagen tissue-equivalents: Comparison of predicted fiber mechanics with polarimetric imaging
(Affiliation: Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, United StatesAffiliation: Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Sander, E. A.Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, United States, 2009)
Upper limb assessment of people with multiple sclerosis with the use of a haptic nine hole peg-board test
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Xydas, E. G.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of CyprusCyprus, 2009)
In this work, a nine-hole peg-board test (NHPT) arrangement is implemented in a Virtual Environment with the use of a Haptic Interface that has the form of a small robotic arm. The Haptic NHPT is used as a mean for ...
Ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy of In2 O3 nanowires
(2009)
Ultrafast carrier dynamics in In2 O3 nanowires with an average diameter of ≈100±20 nm grown by the vapor-liquid-solid method have been investigated in detail using differential absorption spectroscopy with femtosecond ...
Wall shear rates in circular couette flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid
(2009)
The objective of this work is to study quantitatively the errors introduced by the standard Newtonian and power-law assumptions used in the determination of the material properties of viscoplastic fluids from circular ...
