We review physical and chemical constraints on the mechanisms of melt extraction from the mantle beneath mid-ocean ridges. Compositional constraints from MORB and abyssal peridotite are summarized, followed by observations of melt extraction features in the mantle, and constraints from the physical properties of partially molten peridotite. We address two main issues. (1) To what extent is melt...

A two dimensional-liquid chromatography (2D-LC) based approach was developed for the identification and quantification of histone post translational modifications in conjunction with mass spectrometry analysis. Using a bottom-up strategy, offline 2D-LC was developed using reverse phase chromatography. A porous graphitic carbon stationary phase in the first dimension and a C18 stationary phase i...

With the accelerated development of electronic devices, micro-supercapacitors (MSCs), as energy storage devices that can charge and discharge quickly, have attracted considerable attention. To improve rate capability MSCs with consideration density remains a challenge. We demonstrated facile method for preparation thin films through bottom-up femtosecond pulsed laser deposition. The irradiated ...

Experiments have been conducted to study the controlling mechanisms involved in the transition from smoldering to flaming of a porous combustible material, flexible polyurethane foam, with an air flow forced across one of the porous-fuel surfaces. The experiments are performed in a small-scale, vertical, combustion wind tunnel, with the air flow forced upward and parallel to an exposed foam sur...

Proteolysis with proteases preloaded within nanopores of porous material is a very fast process, where proteins can be digested in minutes compared to the conventional bulk enzyme reactions taking place over hours. To model this surprising phenomenon, a modified sequential proteolytic mechanism has been developed to simulate the kinetics of the reaction. Digestion of myoglobin was used as an ex...

This article reports a numerical study of double-diffusive convection in a fluidsaturated vertical porous annulus subjected to discrete heat and mass fluxes from a portion of the inner wall. The outer wall is maintained at uniform temperature and concentration, while the top and bottomwalls are adiabatic and impermeable to mass transfer. The physical model for the momentum equation is formulate...

Developments in selective laser melting (SLM) have enabled the fabrication of periodic cellular lattice structures characterized by suitable properties matching the bone tissue well and by fluid permeability from interconnected structures. These multifunctional performances are significantly affected by cell topology and constitutive properties of applied materials. In this respect, a diamond u...
