Size-Selective Sliding of Sessile Drops on a Slightly Inclined Plane Using Low-Frequency AC Electrowetting by Jiwoo Hong (1782454)

“…When the drop size or the plane’s incline angle is small, the drop is difficult to slide due to a decrease in gravitational force. Here we demonstrate that small drops (0.4–9 μL) on a slightly inclined plane (∼12°, Teflon and parylene-C surface) can be mobilized through patterned electrodes by applying low-frequency ac electrowetting under 400 Hz (110–180 V_rms), which has a mechanism different from that of the high-frequency ac method that induces sliding by reducing contact angle hysteresis. …”

Modeling the response of phytoplankton to reduced external nutrient load in a subtropical Chinese reservoir using DYRESM-CAEDYM by Yang Cui (507341)

“…Diatoms responded more strongly to load reductions in phosphorus input than nitrogen load, whereas cyanophytes showed the opposite pattern. A combined 25% reduction in the external loading of both nutrients could significantly decrease phytoplankton biomass in the reservoir below the 7 μg/L chlorophyll <i>a</i> required by drinking water standards, and the study indicated that DYRESM-CAEDYM can be a useful management tool for eutrophication control.…”
