(author), Verweij, M.D. (author), Kooiman, Klazina (author)Ultrasound insonification of microbubbles can locally enhance drug delivery, but the microbubble–cell interaction remains poorly understood. Because intracellular calcium (Ca<sub>i</sub> <sup>2+</sup>) is a key cellular regulator, unraveling the Ca<sub>i</sub> <sup>2+</sup> fluctuations caused by an oscillating microbubble provides crucial...journal article 2020

Cassottana, Beatrice (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Tang, Loon Ching (author)Water Distribution Systems (WDSs) are critical infrastructures for providing water to sustain life and human activities. Some recent trends, such as climate change, urbanization, and increasing system interdependence, have led to more frequent threats, with detrimental effects on WDSs. In recent years, resilience has been considered an effective...conference paper 2020

(author), Tang, Meng Xing (author), Freear, Steven (author), Bosch, Johan G. (author)Cardiac function and vascular function are closely related to the flow of blood within. The flow velocities in these larger cavities easily reach 1 m/s, and generally complex spatiotemporal flow patterns are involved, especially in a non-physiologic state. Visualization of such flow patterns using ultrasound can be greatly enhanced by...review 2020

(author), Imamura, Fumihiko (author)In November 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) hit the Philippines. It caused heavy loss of lives and extensive damages to buildings and infrastructure. When collapsed buildings are focused on, it is inter-esting to find that these buildings did not collapse for the same reasons after the landfall of the typhoon and storm surge.

Tang, Y. (author)The beauty of optical birefringence lies in the fact that it provides an independent control of light over different polarization directions, which leads to many important applications in today's optical systems. This thesis describes the applications of existing naturally-occurring birefringent materials as well as the engineered formed...doctoral thesis 2019

Tang, J. (author)Foam has unique microstructure in pore networks and reduces gas mobility significantly, which improves considerably the sweep efficiency of gas injection. Foam injection is thus regarded as a promising enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology. One key to success of foam EOR is foam stability in presence of oil. This thesis seeks to understand...doctoral thesis 2019

(author)Optical trapping of (sub)micron-sized particles is broadly employed in nanoscience and engineering. The materials commonly employed for these particles, however, have physical properties that limit the transfer of linear or angular momentum (or both). This reduces the magnitude of forces and torques, and the spatiotemporal resolution,...journal article 2019

Tang, J. (author), Smit, Michiel (author), Vincent-Bonnieu, S.Y.F. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)A new capillary number (N <sub>ca</sub> ) definition is proposed for 2-D etched micromodels. We derive the new definition from a force balance on a nonwetting ganglion trapped by capillarity. It incorporates the impact of pore microstructure on mobilization. The geometrical factors introduced can be estimated directly from image analysis of...journal article 2019

Tang, J. (author), Vincent-Bonnieu, S.Y.F. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)Foam flow in porous media without oil shows two regimes depending on foam quality (gas fractional flow). Complexity and limited data on foam/oil interactions in porous media greatly restrict understanding of foam in contact with oil. Distinguishing which regimes are affected by oil is key to modeling the effect of oil on foam. We report...journal article 2019

Tang, J. (author), Vincent-Bonnieu, S.Y.F. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)We present a CT coreflood study of foam, both pre-generated and generated in-situ, displacing oil, as a function of oil type and saturation. Foam generation and propagation are reflected through sectional pressure measurements. Dual-energy CT imaging monitors in-time phase saturations. With an oil less harmful to foam (hexadecane), injection...journal article 2019

Tang, T. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)Opinion dynamics models are based on the implicit assumption that people can observe the opinions of others directly, and update their own opinions based on the observation. This assumption significantly reduces the complexity of the process of learning opinions, but seems to be rather unrealistic. Instead, we argue that the opinion itself is...journal article 2019
