Needleless Electrospinning of Nanofibers With a Conical Wire Coil

Auxiliary Potentials In Chiral Media

In the present paper, the expressions for scalar and vector potentials in lossless isotropic chiral media are analyzed. Propagating eigenvalues of these potentials are then obtained. Furthermore by decomposition of sources and fields in a chiral medium, we introduce the auxiliary right-and left-handed potentials and find the associated fields. These potentials are used to solve the problem of a...

Budding and vesiculation induced by conical membrane inclusions.

Conical inclusions in a lipid bilayer generate an overall spontaneous curvature of the membrane that depends on concentration and geometry of the inclusions. Examples are integral and attached membrane proteins, viruses, and lipid domains. We propose an analytical model to study budding and vesiculation of the lipid bilayer membrane, which is based on the membrane bending energy and the transla...

Numerical study of conical wire arrays on MAGPIE

Although important improvements have been achieved in the comprehension of astrophysical jets, several questions remain open, including jet formation, propagation in an external medium and survival to potentially disruptive instabilities [1]. Jets produced in laboratory are scalable to astrophysical conditions. In particular, jets produced by conical wire arrays are especially suitable to study...

Generation of shear flow in conical wire arrays with a center wire

At the Nevada Terawatt Facility we investigated the generation of a sheared plasma flow using conical wire arrays with an additional wire located on the axis of the pinch. The additional center wire generates axial current carrying plasma that serves as a target for the plasma accelerated from the outer wires, generating a sheared plasma flow which leads to the growth of the Kelvin-Helmholtz in...
