Different parameters can be extracted from the analysis of the electroporation of a biological cell, such as the deformation rate of its membrane and its electroporation response. This paper focuses on two main features to differ between the normal and malignant red blood cells. These features are the membrane potential and the density of the pores as a response for an applied electric field. Also, this paper presents a COMSOL Model which is used to solve both the membrans’s transmembrane potential and the distribution of the pores across it.","PeriodicalId":330822,"journal":{"name":"2019 Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115644176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The humidity degradation of the perovskite active layer and the efficiency of the cell is observed under several conditions. Using ZnO as a planner electron injection layer (EIL) instead of TiO2, the efficiency of the device significantly improved, showing low-resistance shunting pathways. Also, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has been used as a hydrophobic transparent coating layer and its thickness adjusted to make it works as antireflective coating (ARC). This process ultimately mitigates the degradation rate and increase the cell optical absorption. The results confirm the importance of the homogenous surface of EIL and how the PDMS-AR layer could significantly enhance the cell efficiency.","PeriodicalId":330822,"journal":{"name":"2019 Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124876962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experimental work carried out to investigate the performance of the thermoelectric cooler under the effect of the pulsating forced convective air flow at different rates of input electrical power in a rectangular cross -sectional channel. The experiments were performed over a range of pulsating flow frequencies at a constant mass flow rate.

Proactive caching is a promising technique to mitigate the load on core networks by caching some of the expected data items. This work proposes a hierarchical proactive caching scheme which jointly considers caching in vehicles and roadside units (RSUs). Minimization of the vehicle communication latency is the main objective of our study. The optimization problem is formulated to find the optimal caching decision at RSUs and vehicles. Numerical results show that proactive caching has a great performance gain compared to the baseline reactive scenario. Moreover, results reveal that caching in vehicles, with small memory cache size, has effective impact on the total network latency.","PeriodicalId":330822,"journal":{"name":"2019 Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122782792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we propose LVLNET; an automatic left ventricle localization approach; which utilizes a lightweight encoder-decoder-like convolutional neural network (CNN). We evaluated our proposed method using three different and independent datasets. The proposed method has estimated the region of interest of the left ventricle with an accuracy of 88% covering more than 90% of the left ventricle voxels. Also, the median distance between the real and estimated centers was 1.12 [0.61–2.38] mm.

In this article, the passive separation-controlled technique has been used to reduce the losses through six NACA 65-009 linear compressor cascade blades. Among passive techniques, the arced diverge -converge slot passes were grooved from the blade pressure side (P-S) to its suction side (S-S). Here, the slot height in the span-wise direction was selected to be 0.08 of the blade heights from End-wall side. The current work was performed experimentally and numerically at inlet flow conditions of Reynolds number $mathrm{R}_{mathrm{e}mathrm{c}}=2.98times 10^{5}$ and incidence angle $mathrm{i}=4^{circ}$. The experimental work was done to get the inlet velocity profile needed to initiate the solution of the numerical work. The five-hole probe was used to measure the flow parameters in the experimental part. The accuracy and the mesh independent were tested for numerical work. There was good agreement in results about velocity profiles and total pressure in the blade downstream between experimental and numerical solutions, even the numerical using $mathrm{K}-omega$-SST turbulence model provided higher values of total pressure losses. It was concluded that the use of a slotted blade able to reduce the total pressure losses coefficient by 40.5%, increasing the flow turning angle by 20.3% and increase the static pressure coefficient by 8.7 % near the end-wall.","PeriodicalId":330822,"journal":{"name":"2019 Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117257654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
