Bioinspired design of a landing system with soft shock absorbers for autonomous aerial robots
(2018-10-31)© 2018 Wiley Periodicals Inc. One of the main challenges for autonomous aerial robots is to land safely on a target position on varied surface structures in real-world applications. Most of current aerial robots (especially ... -
A Bioinspired Plasmonic Nanocomposite Actuator Sunlight-Driven by a Photothermal-Hygroscopic Effect for Sustainable Soft Robotics
(Wiley, 2023)Combined photothermal-hygroscopic effects enable novel materials actuation strategies based on renewable and sustainable energy sources such as sunlight. Plasmonic nanoparticles have gained considerable interest as ... -
Biomass-derived electrodes for flexible supercapacitors
(2018-02-01)© 2017 Elsevier B.V. At present, supercapacitors constitute, along with batteries, one of the most promising electrochemical energy storage technology. The recent emerging generation of bendable portable electronic devices ... -
Biomechanical Conditioning Enhanced Matrix Synthesis in Nucleus Pulposus Cells Cultured in Agarose Constructs with TGFβ.
(2012-01-05)Biomechanical signals play an important role in normal disc metabolism and pathology. For instance, nucleus pulposus (NP) cells will regulate metabolic activities and maintain a balance between the anabolic and catabolic ... -
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 ... -
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... -
Biomechanics of Natural Fiber Green Composites as Internal Bone Plate rafted
(2016-11-16)The main purpose of this paper was to introduce a new series of green composites as a plate for bone fracture applications. These green composites offer many advantages over traditional composites and biocomposites based ... -
The biomechanics of running in athletes with prevous hamstring injury. A case-control study
(Wiley, 2015-04-27)Hamstring injury is prevalent with persistently high reinjury rates. We aim to inform hamstring rehabilitation by exploring the electromyographic and kinematic characteristics of running in athletes with previous hamstring ... -
Biomethane recovery from olive mill residues through anaerobic digestion: A review of the state of the art technology
(Elsevier, 2020-02-10)Residues from production of olive oil are generated yearly in great amounts, both in liquid and solid forms. Different waste treatment systems were proposed in literature, to minimize environmental pollution while raising ... -
Biomimetic behaviors in hydrogel artificial cells through embedded organelles.
(National Academy of Science, 2023-08-29)Artificial cells are biomimetic structures formed from molecular building blocks that replicate biological processes, behaviors, and architectures. Of these building blocks, hydrogels have emerged as ideal, yet underutilized ...
