Scan4CFU: Low-cost, open-source bacterial colony tracking over large areas and extended incubation times

Santosh Pandey, Yunsoo Park, Ankita Ankita, Gregory J. Phillips
A hallmark of bacterial populations cultured in vitro is their homogeneity of growth, where the majority of cells display identical growth rate, cell size and content. Recent insights, however, have revealed that even cells growing in exponential growth phase can be heterogeneous with respect to variables typically used to measure cell growth. Bacterial heterogeneity has important implications for how bacteria respond to environmental stresses, such as antibiotics. The phenomenon of antimicrobia...

Trends in Workplace Wearable Technologies and Connected-Worker Solutions for Next-Generation Occupational Safety , Health , and Productivity

Vishal Patel, Austin Chesmore, Christopher M. Legner, Santosh Pandey
The workplace influences the safety, health, and productivity of workers at multiple levels. To protect and promote total worker health, smart hardware, and software tools have emerged for the identification, elimination, substitution, and control of occupational hazards. Wearable devices enable constant monitoring of individual workers and the environment, whereas connected worker solutions provide contextual information and decision support. Here, the recent trends in commercial workplace tech...

Study the Enhancement on Corrosion Protection by Adding PFDTES to Hybrid Sol-Gel on AA2024-T3 Alloy in 3.5% NaCl Solutions

Magdi H. Mussa , Yaqub Rahaq , Sarra Takita , Nicholas Farmilo
Sol-gel as protective coatings has been shown to exhibit excellent chemical stability combined with the ability to reduce the corrosion of metal substrates. The sol-gel method is an eco-friendly technique route for producing surface coatings, showing high potential for the replacement of toxic pre-treatment coatings. This study aims to develop a new understanding of the enhancement in corrosion protection of a hybrid-organic-inorganic sol-gel coating that cured at (80oC) by increasing the hydrop...

Simulations Analysis with Comparative Study of a PMSG Performances for Small WT Application by FEM

H. Mellah, K. E. Hemsas
Permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) have a bright prospect in the small wind turbine (WT) applications; PMSGs compared to the conventional electrically excitated generators have many advantages, that’s why they have attracted many and a strong interest of research. In this paper, a comparative PMSG performance study's is presented, these performances is studied as a function of physical material like the type of permanent magnet (high, poor, average and linear), as a function of the ...

A Derivation of the Etherington’s Distance-Duality Equation

Yuri Heymann
The Etherington's distance-duality equation is the relationship between the luminosity distance of standard candles and the angular-diameter distance. This relationship has been validated from astronomical observations based on the X-ray surface brightness and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect of galaxy clusters. In the present study, we propose a derivation of the Etherington's reciprocity relation in the dichotomous cosmology.

A Monte Carlo Simulation Framework for Testing Cosmological Models

Yuri Heymann
We tested alternative cosmologies using Monte Carlo simulations based on the sampling method of the zCosmos galactic survey. The survey encompasses a collection of observable galaxies with respective redshifts that have been obtained for a given spectroscopic area of the sky. Using a cosmological model, we can convert the redshifts into light-travel times and, by slicing the survey into small redshift buckets, compute a curve of galactic density over time. Because foreground galaxies obstruct t...
