Using computational modeling, we design nano-structured surfaces able to selectively regulate interactions between microchannel walls and flowing colloid-polymer suspensions. Depending on the geometry of nanoscopic posts lining internal channel surfaces, suspended nanoparticles and polymeric chains can be either hydrodynamically attracted to channel walls or repelled to the bulk fluid.

We present single-ion-channel recordings performed with biomimetic lipid membranes which are directly attached to the surface of a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) preamplifier chip. With this system we resolve single-channel currents from several types of bacterial ion channels, including fluctuations of a single alamethicin channel at a bandwidth of 1 MHz which represent the fas...

This study investigated the effect of cross sectional geometry on sediment transport rate. The processes of sediment transport are generally associated to environmental management, such as pollution caused by the forming of suspended sediment in the channel network of a watershed and preserving physical habitats and native vegetations, and engineering applications, such as the influence of sedi...

multicast routing is one of the most important services in multi radio multi channel (mrmc) wireless mesh networks (wmn). multicast routing performance in wmns could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. in this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in wmns. the channels...

many appealing multicast services such as on-demand tv, teleconference, online games and etc. can benefit from high available bandwidth in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. when multiple simultaneous transmissions use a similar channel to transmit data packets, network performance degrades to a large extant. designing a good multicast tree to route data packets could enhance the...

Using both analytic and numerical analyses of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations we theoretically investigate electric conductivity a conical channel, which in accordance with recent experiments exhibits strong non-linear pressure dependence. This mechanosensitive diodic behavior stems from pressure-sensitive build-up or depletion salt pore. From our results find that optimal geometry for this...
