Abstract A wearable artificial kidney (WAK) stands poised to offer dialysis treatment with maximal temporal and spatial flexibility for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, while portability has not yet been achieved due to difficulties in portable purification.The ion concentration polarization (ICP), one of the nanoelectrokinetic phenomenon,
On-Line Modal Parameter Identification Applied to Linear and Nonlinear Vibration Absorbers
A solution of the vibration attention problem on a flexible structure from a dynamic vibration absorption perspective is experimentally and numerically studied in this article.Linear and nonlinear dynamic vibration absorbers are properly implemented on a primary structure of n degrees of freedom through a modal decomposition analysis and using the
Indoor air quality in a residential facility for the elderly and its effects on the health of workers and users review
Introduction: Indoor Air Quality assessments present a very significant challenge, particularly when the analyses are carried out in buildings that include an environment that is particularly sensitive and vulnerable to the elderly population.Objective: To assess the indoor air quality of a Residential Structure for the Elderly (RSEI) and relate it
The Management of Myocardial Injury Related to SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonia
The global evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is known to all.The diagnosis Photo Swaddle of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia is expected to worsen, and mortality will be higher when combined with myocardial injury (MI).The combination of novel coronavirus infections in patients with MI can cause confusion in diagnosis and assessment, with each condition exacer
Surface forces dominating tribological phenomena in nanoconfined liquids: A review
Friction is ubiquitous and plays a key role in the functionality of many biological and engineering systems, from articular cartilage to machinery.While friction facilitates motion, it also causes wear and energy loss in moving parts.Lubricants (particularly liquid lubricants) are essential to reduce the negative effects of friction, and Back Cover
