In the paper presented here the optimization of Halbach arrays as storage media for mechanical potential energy is investigated with numerical simulations using FEMM and analytical calculations using the Maxwell stress tensor. Two opposing Halbach arrays form a “magnetic spring” and mechanical potential energy is stored when this structure is compressed. It is here seen that the wavelength of t...

Objective(s):Multi-epitopic protein vaccines and direction of vaccine delivery to dendritic cells (DCs) are promising approaches for enhancing immune responses against mutable pathogens. Escherichia coli is current host for expression of recombinant proteins, and it is important to optimize expression condition. The aim of this study was the optimization of multi-epitopic HIV-1 tat/pol/gag/env ...

The culture media optimization is an inevitable part of upstream process development in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) production. The quality by design (QbD) approach defines the assured quality of the final product through the development stage. An important step in QbD is determination of the main quality attributes. During the media optimization, some of the main quality attribute...

Machining of medium Brass alloy is very difficult. There are a number of parameters like cutting speed, feed and depth of cut etc. which must be given consideration during the machining of medium Brass alloy. This study investigates the effects of process parameters on Material Removal Rate (MRR) in turning of C34000. The single response optimization problems i.e. optimization of MRR is solved ...

The separation of two different types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is studied in a dielectrophoresis-based microchannel system in seven different solvents as the suspending medium.  A simple model was developed to predict the behavior of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the above mentioned system. Then, the equations of motion for the multi-walled carbon nanotubes in that system were in...

In seismic inverse scattering, the data are divided into subsets, each of which is used to reconstruct the medium discontinuities by linearized inversion. The reconstructions depend on an a priori unknown, smoothly varying background medium (velocity model). The semblance principle, which states that the images must agree, is the basis for the reconstruction of the background medium. Several es...
