Molecular Effects of Silicon Dioxide Nanoparticles on Cell Survival Signaling of Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Neurons and Schwann Cells

Jain A., Jaiswal A.R., Lu S., Wong Y.Y.W., Bhushan A., Leung S.W., Daniels C.K., Lai J.C.K., Idaho State University, US

The molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of peripheral neuropathies have not been fully elucidated. To meet the need for suitable cell culture models in vitro of peripheral nervous system (PNS) neural cells that allow long-term [...]

Use of Multiphysics modeling to improve solar thin film performance and manufacture

Jain A., Sanyal J., Ivanov V., Grald E., Mukhopadhyay A., ANSYS, Inc., US

Solar and wind energy are gaining attention for both technology innovation and commercialization, due to the environmental impacts of conventional energy sources, lack of technology breakthrough with hydrogen based systems, and rising oil prices,. Among [...]

Design and Microfabrication of an Electrostatically Actuated Scanning Micromirror with Elevated Electrodes

Haris M., Qu H., Jain A., Xie H., Oakland University, US

This paper reports the design and microfabrication of an electrostatically actuated CMOS-MEMS micromirror with elevated electrodes. Device structural design and fabrication process are detailed and device performance such as scanning angles is simulated using CoventorWare. [...]

Transient Analysis of Cooling of Biological Tissues Using Semi-Infinite Approximation

Jain A., Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, US

In the present paper, we have presented an analytical approach for transient analysis of cooling of biological tissues due to blood flow. Semi-infinite approximation for tissues is used and continuum approach is used for modeling.
