Automated technique for high-pressure water-based window cleaning and accompanying parametric study.

PloS one
The maintenance of buildings has become an important issue with the construction of many high-rise buildings in recent years. However, the cleaning of the outer walls of buildings is performed in highly hazardous environments over long periods, and m...

Continuous models for peristaltic locomotion with application to worms and soft robots.

Biomechanics and modeling in mechanobiology
A continuous model for the peristaltic locomotion of compressible and incompressible rod-like bodies is presented. Using Green and Naghdi's theory of a directed rod, incompressibility is enforced as an internal constraint. A discussion on muscle actu...

A Coupled FEM-SPH Modeling Technique to Investigate the Contractility of Biohybrid Thin Films.

Advanced biosystems
Biohybrid actuators have the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional actuators employed in robotics, thanks to the unique features of living contractile muscle cells, which can be used to power artificial elements. This paper describes a...

Effects of different high hydrostatic pressure-treated potato starch on the processing performance of dough-like model systems.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
In this study, potato starch (PS) was processed by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at 200, 350 and 500 MPa for 30 min at 25 °C. Effects of HHP-treated PS on the processing performance of PS-gluten and PS-hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) dough-like...

Evaluation of casein as a binding ligand protein for purification of alpha-lactalbumin from beta-lactoglobulin under high hydrostatic pressure.

Food chemistry
Fractionation of β-lactoglubulin (β-lg) and α-lactalbumin (α-la) using conventional separation technologies remains challenging mainly due to similar molecular weight. Herein, casein (CN) was used as ligand protein to specifically aggregate β-lg unde...
