This paper is concerned with the design of a reduced-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method for electromagnetic simulation. A centered flux approximation for surface integral and a second-order leap-frog scheme for advancing in time are applied in the classical DG method. The POD basis...

A new family of exponential-based time integration methods are proposed for the time-domain Maxwell's equations discretized by a high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme formulated on locally refined unstructured meshes. These methods, which are developed from the Lawson method, remove the stiffness on the time explicit integration of the...

—The accurate and efficient simulation of 3D transient multiscale electromagnetic problems is extremely challenging for conventional numerical methods. Assuming a splitting of the underlying tetrahedral mesh in coarse and fine parts and using the Lawson procedure, we derive a family of exponential-based time integration methods for the...

Plasma surrounding a hypersonic vehicle can lead to the absorption of incoming radar radiation or the interruption of communication. Therefore, the development of hypersonic vehicle relies on a clear understanding of the strong interaction between the surrounding plasma and the incident electromagnetic wave. However, because of the presence of...

Ambient temperature self-blowing tannin–furanic foams have been prepared by substituting a great part—even a majority—of furfuryl alcohol with humins, a polyfuranic material derived from the acid treatment at high temperature of fructose. Closed-cell foams were prepared at room temperature and curing, while interconnected-cell foams were...

An automated liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) device in a chip format has been developed and coupled directly to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A 10-port 2-position switching valve was used to hyphenate the LPME-chip with the HPLC autosampler, and to collect the extracted analytes, which then were delivered to the HPLC...

Increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) contributes to the growth of many tumors by increasing angiogenesis. Although hypoxia is a potent inducer of VEGF, we previously showed that epidermal growth factor receptor amplification and loss of PTEN, both of which can increase phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) activity,...
