Nano-boron as an antibacterial agent for functionalized textiles
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-01)The antibacterial properties of boron-containing compounds are well known although there are limited studies available on the pure boron nanoparticles. In this study boron nano-particles were characterized in terms of their ... -
Natural convection immersion cooling with enhanced optical performance of light-emitting diode systems
(2015-10-15)Electronics driven at high currents may experience local hot spots, which may cause thermal degradation or even catastrophic failures. This common problem occurs at light-emitting diode (LED) chips and it is not easily ... -
Near to far-field thermal emission by nanoparticles on a substrate: Evaluation of effective medium theory
(The Optical Society, 2014)We study the near to far-field thermal emission of a thin SiC film with/without nanospheres placed upon it. We show that Effective Medium Theorem produces questionable results when approximating emission and absorption ... -
Near- to far-field coherent thermal emission by surfaces coated by nanoparticles and the evaluation of effective medium theory
(The Optical Society, 2015)Near-field thermal radiation may play significant role in the enhancement of energy harvesting and radiative cooling by new types of designer materials, which in turn can be crucial in the development of future devices. ... -
Near-field thermal emission between corrugated surfaces separated by nano-gaps

Near-field thermal radiation transfer by mesoporous metamaterials
(The Optical Society, 2015-09-21)In this work, we investigate the impact of nano-scale pores within structured metamaterials on spectral near-field radiative transfer. We use Finite Difference Time Domain Method (FDTD) and consider uniform and corrugated ... -
Needle localization using gabor filtering in 2D ultrasound images
(IEEE, 2014)In the percutaneous needle procedures using ultrasound (US) imaging, the needle should be detected precisely to avoid damage to the tissue and to get the samples from the appropriate site. Excessive artifacts and low ... -
A new methodology to determine the design sensitivity of critical automotive body joints for basic design cycle
