There is enough depth in the book to satisfy the introductory reader, but in the event that more information is desired, a complete bibliography is provided in the back, which is broken down by chapter and topic. In addition, useful appendices, a glossary, and an organized index allow easy referencing. This book would be ideal for an undergraduate student beginning to study neuroscience, the ne...

M ost of us associate turbulence with a bumpy ride on a plane. Yet turbulent flow is practically everywhere, even if we aren’t aware of it. The air we exhale, the blood pumped through our bodies’ ascending aorta, and the steam rising from a hot cup of coffee are all in turbulent motion. Even if we could see these flows, it would be difficult to discern any order in the whirling currents that th...

We present the computational results on the formation of diverse complex 3D vortex lattices by a designed superposition of multiple plane waves. Special combinations of multiples of three noncoplanar plane waves with a designed relative phase shift between one another are perturbed by a nonsingular beam to generate various complex 3D vortex lattice structures. The formation of complex gyrating ...

This paper focuses on a model order reduction (MOR) for large-scale rotordynamic systems by using finite element discretization. Typical rotor-bearing systems consist of a rotor, built-on parts, and a support system. These systems require careful consideration in their dynamic analysis modeling because they include unsymmetrical stiffness, localized nonproportional damping, and frequency-depend...

We present a microfluidic device for the capture and release of circulating exosomes from human blood. The exosome-specific dual-patterned immunofiltration (ExoDIF) device is composed of two distinct immuno-patterned layers, and is capable of enhancing the chance of binding between the antibody and exosomes by generating mechanical whirling, thus achieving high-throughput exosome isolation with...
