Rheological behavior of sepiolite suspensions homogenized by ultra-turrax high-speed homogenizer

Local transient rheological behavior of concentrated suspensions

Ultra high-speed sorting.

BACKGROUND Cell sorting has a history dating back approximately 40 years. The main limitation has been that, although flow cytometry is a science, cell sorting has been an art during most of this time. Recent advances in assisting technologies have helped to decrease the amount of expertise necessary to perform sorting. METHODS Droplet-based sorting is based on a controlled disturbance of a j...

Rheological properties of aging thermosensitive suspensions.

Aging observed in soft glassy materials inherently affects the rheological properties of these systems and has been described by the soft glassy rheology (SGR) model [S. M. Fielding, J. Rheol. 44, 323 (2000)]. In this paper, we report the measured linear rheological behavior of thermosensitive microgel suspensions and compare it quantitatively with the predictions of the SGR model. The dynamic ...

Rheological properties of nanocrystalline cellulose suspensions.

Rheological behavior, including linear and nonlinear, as well as transient rheology of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) suspensions was studied in this work. Two kinds of polymer solutions, aqueous poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with flexible chain structure and aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with semi-rigid chain structure, were used as the suspension media to further explore the role that th...

Ultra-High-Speed Reed-Solomon turbo decoder

—This article presents an FPGA implementation of an ultra-high-speed Reed-Solomon (RS) turbo decoder. A performance analysis is performed showing that RS Block Turbo Codes (RS-BTC) have decoding performance equivalent to Bose Ray-Chaudhuri Hocquenghem-Block Turbo Codes (BCH-BTC). A ratio between the decoder throughput and the decoder area is used to show the higher ef ciency of the RS full para...
