چکیده
Overview Membranes in the outer hair cell lateral wall form a naturally occurring nanostructure which acts as a microelectromechanical (MEM) system. Computational and optical techniques are being developed to predict, verify and refine the description of nanoscale behavior in the outer hair cell (OHC) lateral wall. The biological, engineering and physics expertise of an interdisciplinary three-member team investigate electro-osmotic fluid movement in the cell’s 30 nm extracisternal space. Nature may have co-opted electro-osmosis as the most efficient means of achieving bulk flow in nanoscale structures. The technology developed in describing this phenomenon in the outer hair cell can be applied to man-made nanoscale devices.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the properties of planar, tubular and conical forms of silicon nanostructures. The evaluated parameters including averaged bond lengths, binding energies, gap energies and dipole moments were then evaluated for the optimized models of study. The results indicated that the bond lengths between silicon atoms are different ...
متن کاملComparison the performance of different reverse osmosis membrane modules by CFD modeling
Reverse osmosis is a commonly used process in water desalination. Due to the scarcity of freshwater resources and wastewater problems, a lot of theory and experimental studies have been conducted to optimize this process. In the present study, the performance of reverse osmosis membrane module of salt–water separation was simulated based on computational fluid dynamics technique and solution-di...
