We consider coupled systems of advection-diffusion equations with initial and boundary conditions and determine conditions on the advection terms that allow us to obtain solutions that can be explicitly bounded above and below using the initial and boundary conditions. Given the advection terms, using our methodology one can easily check if such bounds can be obtained and then one can construct the necessary nonlinear transformation to allow the bounds to be determined. We apply this technique to determine bounding quantities for a number of examples. In particular, we show that the three-ion electroneutral Poisson-Nernst-Planck system of equations can be transformed into a system, which allows for the use of our techniques and we determine the bounding quantities. In addition, we determine the general form of advection terms that allow these techniques to be applied and show that our method can be applied to a very wide class of advection-diffusion equations.

Our previous work has established that micron-resolution photolithography can be employed to make microsquare nanoband edge electrode (MNEE) arrays. The MNEE configuration enables systematic control of the parameters (electrode number, cavity array spacing, and nanoelectrode dimensions and placement) that control geometry, conferring a consistent high-fidelity electrode response across the array (, high signal, high signal-to-noise, low limits of detection and fast, steady-state, reproducible and quantitative response) and allowing the tuning of individual and combined electrode interactions. Building on this, in this paper we now produce and characterise a micropore nanoband electrode (MNE) array designed for flow-through detection, where an MNEE edge electrode configuration is used to form a nanotube electrode embedded in the wall of each micropore, formed as an array of pores of controlled size and placement through an insulating membrane of sub-micrometer thickness.

Mammalian auditory epithelium (the organ of Corti) stands out among different inner-ear epithelia in that it has large extracellular fluid spaces such as the tunnel of Corti, Nuel's space, outer tunnel, and spacing between outer hair cells. We tested the hypothesis that advective flow facilitates mass transport in the cochlear fluids, using computational simulations of cochlear fluid dynamics and experiments to investigate mass transport in extracellular fluid spaces of the cochlea. Three model simulations were performed in series-cochlear mechanics, nonlinear fluid dynamics, and mass transport.

Modeling of microplastic (MP) transport in the aquatic environment is complicated by the diverse properties of the plastic particles. Traditional modeling methods such as Lagrangian particle tracking and Eulerian discrete class (DC) methods have limitations as they are not best placed to account for the diverse characteristics of individual particles, namely, size, density, and shape, which are crucial for determining the transport of MPs. In this work, we address the issue of particle size diversity by using the population balance equations (PBE) method.

We report the transition between stream and droplet regimes in a coflow of an aqueous stream and oil-based ferrofluid. The transition between stream and droplet regimes is typically attained by controlling the capillary numbers (Ca) of the phases. Remarkably, we experimentally evidence a transition between the regimes by adjusting the exposure of the system to a magnetic field, with Ca fixed.

Article Synopsis
- - The paper introduces a method that uses B-spline functions and a fully connected neural network to predict two-dimensional steady-state fields, focusing on fields with absorption and source terms.
- - The approach involves fitting field data to B-spline functions to obtain weight vectors, which are then used to train the neural network for predicting new weight vectors and restoring field data.
- - Results show that this method outperforms generative adversarial networks (GAN) and physics-informed neural networks (PINN) in terms of accuracy, data efficiency, and training speed, especially when using a larger set of B-splines.
