Design of a membrane for a lung-on-a-chip device: Design and testing of a membrane concept incorporating a dynamic pore size to study the alveolar-capillary barrier in vitro

In vitro models are fundamental in the study of cell behaviour, the physiological function of organs, and their response to drugs and toxins. However, the shortage of accurate and reliable in vitro models calls for the development of in vitro lung models that better recapitulate lung physiology and pathology. Lung-on- a-chip models are promising...

Power Consumption Analysis of 5G Transmit Antenna Topologies and Beamforming Schemes

An exponential growth in the mobile communications industry over the past decade has raised concerns over it’s energy consumption, especially in light of the current climate crisis. 5G technologies in particular exhibit features that imply high power consumption, such as the densification of 5G base stations. Implementing mitigation measures...
