Imaging Transient Blood Vessel Fusion Events in Zebrafish by Correlative Volume Electron Microscopy
(Public Library of Science, 2009-11-06)The study of biological processes has become increasingly reliant on obtaining high-resolution spatial and temporal data through imaging techniques. As researchers demand molecular resolution of cellular events in the ... -
Computations of Nonlinear Propagation of Sound Emitted from High Speed Mixing Layers
(Bentham Open, 2010)Non-linear sound propagation is investigated computationally by simulating compressible time-developing mixing layers using the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach and solving the viscous Burgers Equation. The mixing ... -
Biomechanical modulation of collagen fragment-induced anabolic and catabolic activities in chondrocyte/agarose constructs
(BioMed Central, 2010)The present study examined the effect of collagen fragments on anabolic and catabolic activities by chondrocyte/agarose constructs subjected to dynamic compression... -
Optimal design of metallic sandwich tubes with prismatic cores to internal moving shock load
(2010-02-01)Prismatic metallic sandwich tubes subject to internal moving shock loads are optimally designed for minimum weight. The stretching-dominated core topologies are considered, and the effective stiffness matrices of prismatic ... -
Mechanisms of Interlaminar Fracture Toughness Using Non-Woven Veils as Interleaf Materials
(2010-05)The main objective of this research is to understand the mechanisms of interlaminar toughness using non-woven veils as the interleaf materials. The vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding (VaRTM) method was chosen for ... -
Atherosclerotic Plaque Stability Is Affected by the Chemokine CXCL10 in Both Mice and Humans.
(Hindawi, 2011)Background. The chemokine CXCL10 is specifically upregulated during experimental development of plaque with an unstable phenotype. In this study we evaluated the functional consequences of these findings in mice and humans. ... -
Biomechanical influence of cartilage homeostasis in health and disease.
(2011)There is an urgent demand for long term solutions to improve osteoarthritis treatments in the ageing population. There are drugs that control the pain but none that stop the progression of the disease in a safe and efficient ... -
Iminodiacetic acid functionalized cation exchange resin for adsorptive removal of Cr(VI), Cd(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) from their aqueous solutions.
(2011-01-30)Iminodiacetic acid functionality has been introduced on styrene-divinyl benzene co-polymeric beads and characterized by FT-IR in order to develop weak acid based cation exchange resin. This resin was evaluated for the ... -
Amide functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and their evaluation for Hg(II) removal from water
(World Scientific Publishing, 2011-02-01)This paper deals with the amide functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and its evaluation for mercury removal from water. The functionalized MWNTs were characterized using FTIR for structural modification. ...
