Design of high SERS sensitive substrates based on branched Ti nanorods

Description: Article reports a rational design of branched titanium (Ti) nanorods formed by glancing angle physical vapor deposition and their applications as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The authors investigation provides a mechanism to fabricate sensitive SERS sensors of Ti nanorods that are known to be thermally and chemically stable and compatible with silicon-based electronics.

Scalable, top-down optical lithography for electrically contacting monolayer crystallites of vapor grown WSe2 for gas sensing applications

Description: Article discusses how semiconducting two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have garnered a great deal of interest owing to their large surface-to-volume ratios compared to traditional three-dimensional (3D) semiconductors, and focuses on a specific TMD; tungsten diselenide (WSe₂). In their study, the authors demonstrate the halide-assisted low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (HA-LPCVD) of high crystalline-quality, monolayer WSe₂.

Comparison of Thermal Effectiveness and Crevice Corrosion Risk of Fin Geometry on All-Aluminum Microchannel Heat Exchangers

Description: Article all-aluminum microchannel heat exchangers have recently gained popularity in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry. Despite their attractive thermal performance design, these heat exchangers make coils used in automotive, commercial, and residential applications prone to crevice corrosion. This study uses high-fidelity conjugate heat transfer simulations to model a micro channel heat exchanger system that includes fins and tubes with crossflow to compare their thermal … more

High-Fidelity Conjugate Heat Transfer Simulation of Micro-Channel Heat Exchanger

Description: Article describes how high-fidelity conjugate heat transfer simulations are used to model a micro-channel heat exchanger (MCHE) in a crossflow to study its thermal-hydraulic performance. Three different microchannel geometries, namely circular, triangular, and square with louver-shaped fins, are considered.

Epidemiological modelling of vaccination and reduced funeral rites interventions on the peproduction number, R₀ of Ebola virus disease in West Africa

Description: This article examines the impacts of control measures on the reproduction number of the Ebola virus using a mathematically-based computational model. Specifically, the authors study the effects of vaccination and reduced funeral rites. This model could be used to forecast the duration of an Ebola epidemic in any country.
