RISA Modified Micropipette Aspiration Technique and Its Application to Tether Formation From Human Neutrophils
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tether formation, which is mechanically characterized by its threshold force and effective viscosity, is involved in neutrophil emigration from blood circulation. Using the micropipette aspiration ...
Erratum: “A Modified Micropipette Aspiration Technique and Its Application to Tether Formation from Human Neutrophils” [ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 124, No. 4, pp. 388–396]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the section of “Tether Formation from Neutrophils Treated with Cytochalasin D,” the conclusions drawn from comparing cytochalasin-treated neutrophils with passive ones are partly incorrect due ...
Noise Removal for the Steady-State Pressure Measurements Based on Domain Knowledge of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The pressure sensors have been widely used to capture the steady-state pressure data for the management of water distribution systems (WDSs). The background noise pollution in WDSs can lead to signal degradation, reducing ...
Statistical Analysis of Dynamic Splitting Tensile Strength of Concrete Using Different Types of Jaws

Optimized DMA Partition to Reduce Background Leakage Rate in Water Distribution Networks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In recent years, pressure management based on district metering areas (DMAs) has played an irreplaceable role in background leakage reduction in water distribution networks (WDNs). To further improve DMA management, this ...
Experimental Observations on the Initiation of Sand-Bed Erosion by an Upward Water Jet
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Erosion of a saturated sand bed by a vertically upward water jet was studied experimentally. Direct observations on the behavior of sand-bed erosion were obtained by increasing the flow rate at a small increment until ...
Physical Modeling on Sand Erosion around Defective Sewer Pipes under the Influence of Groundwater
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies soil-erosion problem around cracked sewer pipes, which is usually associated with groundwater infiltration in sewer systems. Four factors (soil-particle size, defect size, water head, and soil height) ...
Approach for Water Distribution System Model Calibration Based on Iterative Sherman–Morrison Formula
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Real-time modeling of water distribution systems (WDSs) has received much attention in WDS operation and management. As the model input, nodal water demand must be calibrated in a timely manner. However, for the large-scale ...
Effect of Feldspar Dissolution on Alkali–Silica Reaction at Elevated Temperatures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Two feldspars were used as fine aggregates and cement replacement to explore the effect of feldspar dissolution on alkali–silica reaction (ASR) expansion at elevated temperatures (38°C and 60°C). At elevated temperatures, ...
Retrieval of Uniaxial Permittivity and Permeability for the Study of Near-Field Radiative Transport Between Metallic Nanowire Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently metamaterials made of periodic nanowire arrays, multilayers, and grating structures have been studied for near-field thermal radiation with enhanced coupling of evanescent waves due to surface plasmon/phonon ...
