Abstract:

The almost ubiquitous, though undesired, deposition and accumulation of suspended/dissolved matter on solid surfaces, known as fouling, represents a crucial issue strongly affecting the efficiency and sustainability of micro-scale reactors. Fouling becomes even more detrimental for all the applications that require the use of membrane separation units. As a matter of fact, membrane technology is a key route towards process intensification, having the potential to replace conventional separation procedures, with significant energy savings and reduced environmental impact, in a broad range of ap

Abstract:

Dendritic cell chemotaxis is an important process involved in the acquisition of adaptive immunity. Despite several studies, our understanding of this process remains limited. One of the reasons for this is the lack of experimental models that give us real-time information on dendritic cell locomotion. Here, using tools in microfluidics, we have fabricated a microdevice that allows us to monitor dendritic cell migration in a chemokine gradient in real time. We successfully observed the migration of dendritic cells derived from a myeloid leukemia cell line (MUTZ-3) in a soluble chemokine (CCL-1

Abstract:

Modeling and simulation are essential tools for better understanding complex biological processes, such as cancer evolution. However, the resulting mathematical models are often highly non-linear and include many parameters, which, in many cases, are difficult to estimate and present strong correlations. Therefore, a proper parametric analysis is mandatory. Following a previous work in which we modeled the in vitro evolution of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) under hypoxic conditions, we analyze and solve here the problem found of parametric correlation.

Tumor-associated vasculature is responsible for the delivery of nutrients, removal of waste, and allowing growth beyond 2–3 mm3. Additionally, the vascular network, which is changing in both space and time, fundamentally influences tumor response to both systemic and radiation therapy. Thus, a robust understanding of vascular dynamics is necessary to accurately predict tumor growth, as well as establish optimal treatment protocols to achieve optimal tumor control. Such a goal requires the intimate integration of both theory and experiment. Quantitative and time-resolved imaging methods have em

Consequently, these approaches remain empirical and do not allow gaining insight into the tumor properties at the scale of small cell aggregates. Here, experimental and

To extensively elucidate the mechanism of a bee’s feeding, we should combine the investigations from glossa morphology, feeding behaviour, and mathematical models.

As the local quality is reduced, the heat transfer capability can be improve while large pressure drops and flow instability can be mitigated.

Abstract:

Adsorption-based microfluidic sensors are promising tools for biosensing. Advanced mathematical models of time response and noise of such devices are needed in order to improve the interpretation of measurement results, and to achieve the optimal sensor performance. Here the mathematical models are presented that take into account the coupling of processes that generate the sensor signal: adsorption–desorption (AD) of the target analyte particles on the heterogeneous sensing surface, and mass transfer (MT) in a microfluidic chamber. The response kinetics and AD noise (which determines the ultimate sensing performance) of protein biosensors are analyzed, assuming practically relevant analyte concentrations, sensing surface areas and MT parameters. The condition is determined under which MT significantly influences the sensor characteristics relevant for reliable analyte detection and quantification. It is shown that the development of improved mathematical models of sensor temporal response and noise can be used as one of strategies for achieving better sensing performance.

Abstract:

The use of micro-heat exchangers increased with the advancement of microfluidics. These microdevices present some advantages like elevated surface area-to-volume ratio resulting in high heat transfer rates. Micro-heat exchanger with phase change is a new application of such devices. The simultaneous momentum, heat, and mass transfer at microscale still require investigations due to the inherent complexity. The main goal of the chapter is to demonstrate experimentally and numerically the capability of the micro-heat exchanger use in the continuous process of ethanol excess recovery from the biodiesel. The influence of flow rate, ethanol/biodiesel molar ratio, and temperature on the ethanol evaporation performance was evaluated. The flow rate and the ethanol/biodiesel molar ratio influenced negatively the evaporation. In contrast, the temperature was affected positively. The mathematical model was able to capture the main features of the continuous evaporation; however, further improvements must be performed in order to consider the thermodynamics characteristics.
