Analysis of nitric oxide transfer and release rate for a cysteine modified polymer
(2010-05)
Scope and Method of Study: In order to improve the haemocompatibility of biomaterials so that platelet adhesion on the surface can be minimized, a cysteine (CySH) modified polymer was developed previously and preliminary ...
Zeolitic imidazole framework ZIF-8 membranes for enhanced propylene/propane separation
(2022-05)
The separation of propylene/propane is essential in the refineries and most importantly, propylene is used as raw material to produce polymers and other intermediate chemicals. The separation of propylene/propane is ...
Effect of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 concentration gradients on monocyte migration in a three-dimensional in vitro vascular tissue model
(2015-07)
The initiation of atherosclerosis is marked by the accumulation of lipid substances in the subendothelial layer of major arteries, followed by adhesion and transmigration of monocytes to the extracellular matrix (ECM). ...
Extrusion-based, three-dimensional printing of calcium-phosphate scaffolds
(2015-12)
Small or large bone defects, can occur due to a variety of reasons: congenital disorders, infections, tumors, or traumas which can lead to significant disabilities. There is an assortment of bone grafting procedures, each ...
Investigation of the drag reduction behavior of polyacrylamide/polysaccharide binary polymer solutions
(2017-05)
In this study, rheological behavior and drag reduction (DR) efficiency of various polymer solutions were investigated. The studied polymer solutions included anionic polyacrylamide (HPAM), xanthan gum (XG), guar gum (GG) ...
Coal fired power plant water chemistry issues: Amine selection at supercritical conditions and sodium leaching from ion exchange mixed beds
(2012-05)
Scope and Method of Study: This study evaluated thermal degradation kinetics of neutralizing amines in steam cycle coal fired power plants operating supercritical conditions as functions of temperature and pressure. The ...
Aqueous hydrocarbon systems: Experimental measurements and quantitative structure-property relationship modeling
(2007-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The experimental objectives of this work were to (a) evaluate existing mutual hydrocarbon-water liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data, and (b) develop an experimental apparatus capable of measuring ...
Incorporating the interfacial friction angle concept into the PDC single cutter and full bit modeling
(2019-12)
Over the past century, oil and gas served an important role in the US energy sector. The oil industry continually has worked to reduce the drilling cost by increasing drilling efficiency. Drilling is a time-consuming and ...
Development of tools to accelerate and advance modeling disease progression
(2020-12)
Disease pathology emerges from complex interactions at multiple scales including the cellular level, tissue level, and organ level. Multiscale modeling seeks to capture emergent phenomena by coupling models of differing ...
