Previous QUINOA PUFFS reports on Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) simulations of solid-state nanopores have focused on steady state behaviour under simplified boundary conditions.These are Neumann boundary conditions for the voltage at the pore walls, and in some cases also Donnan equilibrium boundary conditions for concentrations and voltages at both e
BackgroundAsh (Fraxinus spp.) is a dominant tree species throughout urban and forested landscapes of North America (NA).The rapid invasion of NA by emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis), a wood-boring beetle endemic to Eastern Asia, has resulted in the Horseshoes death of millions of ash trees and threatens billions more.Larvae feed primarily on
A miniaturized force measurement device with zero-compliance mechanism is designed and Horseshoes fabricated using MEMS technology.Zero-compliance mechanism consists of two suspensions connected in series through a detection point.When a force is applied to an object suspended by this mechanism, the position of the object can be kept constant by co
