Multiphase modeling of precipitation-induced membrane formation
P. S. Eastham, M. N. J. Moore, N. G. Cogan +2
We formulate a model for the dynamic growth of a membrane developing in a flow as the result of a precipitation reaction, a situation inspired by recent microfluidic experiments. T…

Failure of antibiotic treatment in microbial populations
Patrick De Leenheer, Nick Cogan
The tolerance of bacterial populations to biocidal or antibiotic treatment has been well documented in both biofilm and planktonic settings. However, there is still very little kno…
