TL;DR: In this article, a new formulation for QUICK is presented by requiring that it satisfy four rules that guarantee physically realistic numerical solutions having overall balance, which is more stable and converges faster than any of the formulations previously employed.

TL;DR: A review of the literature on material erosion by solid-particle impact can be found in this paper, where several fundamental considerations relating to the motion of solid particles conditioned by the presence of a carrier fluid, neighboring particles, and a constraining solid surface are discussed.

TL;DR: From fly vision to robot vision: re-construction as a mode of discovery, and Locust's looming detectors for robot sensors (F. W. Haslach Jr.)

TL;DR: In this article, a second-order accurate quadratic upstream interpolation technique is used for the finite differencing of convection terms in the transport equations, thus reducing numerical diffusion error.

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-contact, infrared-mediated system for microchip DNA amplification via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was presented, where the optimization was focused on heat transfer modeling and subsequent fabrication of thermally isolated reaction chambers in glass devices that are uniquely compatible with noncontact thermal control, and the results showed that post-bonding, patterned etching of surrounding glass from microfluidic reaction chambers provided enhancements as high as 3.6-and 7.5-fold in cooling and heating rates, respectively, over control devices with the same
