Microfluidics is the science and technology of manipulating small quantities of fluids using channels with dimensions of tens to hundreds of micrometers. The document discusses the origins and future of microfluidics, covering its initial applications in analysis due to advantages like small sample/reagent usage. While offering many advantages, microfluidics has not seen widespread use, and the document explores reasons why while being optimistic about its future potential. Current applications discussed include protein crystallization screening, separations coupled to mass spectrometry, and uses in cell biology.
New Technique for Measuring and Controlling the Permeability of Polymeric Mem...Editor IJCATR
Membranes have wide uses in industry and medicine applications. Polymer membranes are important materials because of their high chemical resistance, but they are of weak mechanical resistance against high pressures. Therefore, it was essential to modify a permeability measuring technique free from high pressure application. The current work represented a modification for the permeability measuring technique of membranes, where ionic salt was added with known concentration to water as common solvent and the electrolyte current was measured behind the membrane. The electrolysis current was correlated to the flow rate of water across a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membrane. Some other problems were raised such that polarization on electrodes and changes in electrolyte contents during the long time of the slow process. Pulsed potential on electrodes resolved these problems and other associated problems like rush in current and the double layer capacitance effect. An empirical equation was suggested to evaluate the permeability of polymer membranes by this modified method. Easy and accurate measurement of permeability helped authors to change the permeability of PVA membranes by adding copper nano particles in membrane to reduce its permeability, and adding silicone dioxide micro particles to the PVA membranes to increase its permeability. Authors suggested a mechanism for these permeability changes. Scanning electron microscope images for the filled PVA membranes supported the suggested mechanism.

Intro. It is not a secret that in biology laboratories hours of manual work are considered a compulsory part of the experiment. During a day of work, lab researchers have to pipette the right amounts of fluids in tubes, carry them from one machine to another, program and handle each machine individually, label and document carefully each step and then convert the results to data and analyse it. For a simple routine experiment, each of the mentioned tasks is performed at least 10 times/day. Past decade, a big effort has been done to produce machines (e.g., pipetting robots) that would automate some of the tasks in the lab. However, these machines were developed under the industrial mindset to maximize the throughput of a single task. Thus, these machines are of large size, task-specific, difficult to use (they usually come with dedicated drivers and software) and most importantly, extremely expensive. A solution is the use of digital microfluidics to enable the advance from automated biology to digital biology. In my vision, a digital lab should be:
• fully integrated, running all the tasks on the same machine
• easy to use, with a web-based software for biological design of new experiments and hardware control
• general-purpose, allowing easy reconfiguration and design of new experiments
• cheap, offering open-source and do-it-yourself assembly kits
Talk. In the talk, I will present an overview of the road to digital biology, covering all the main aspects, from computer-aided design to hardware production and biological applications.
Hands on. Also, prepare for some real engineering action :). I will execute live a biochemical application (enzymatic reaction of β-galactosidase with Xgal) on my homemade digital biochip. We will then discuss the current challenges in the development process and everyone will get a chance to play with the device. And of course, I will happily consider any engineering advice or idea you have :).

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
