In this study, our collaborative research group explored the possibility of incorporating ultrasound elastography technology with a microfluidic device that is designed to prepare fine needle core biopsies (CBs; L=0.5−2.0 cm, D=0.4−1.2 mm) for pancreatic cancer diagnosis. For the first time, elastographic techniques were employed to measure shear wave velocity in fresh (3.7 m/s) and formalin-fixed...
A numerical analysis of a quasi-isothermal thermodynamic cycle was undertaken for its application in an underwater energy storage system. The conceptual basis for the quasi-isothermal process is firstly a use of water pistons, as opposed to air or other gas medium, which improve heat transfer rate and minimize the temperature variation on both compression and expansion sides of the cycle and secondly...
In this paper, an ocean compressed air energy storage (OCAES) system is introduced as a utility scale energy storage option for electricity generated by wind, ocean currents, tides, and waves off the coast of North Carolina. Geographically, a location from 40km to 70km off the coast of Cape Hatteras is shown to be a good location for an OCAES system. Based on existing compressed air energy storage...
