Mass transfer in porous tissue engineering scaffolds
(2008-07)
Scope and Method of Study: This study evaluated the effects of both local and global scale mass transport phenomena through degradable porous polymer matrices typically used in tissue engineering. Analytical, computational ...
In situ stress evolution on an Au thin film cathode electrode during discharging/charging in lithium-oxygen batteries
(2021-12)
Li-O2 batteries have over ten times the theoretical energy density that current Li-ion batteries have, but their practical energy density is hindered by a low cycle life, rapid capacity fade, and the high overpotential ...
Ex Vivo Generation of Dendritic Cells Within a Vascular Bioreactor
(2019-05)
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a prime role in the activation and control of the immune system and have promising potential in the treatment of cancer, viral infection, autoimmune diseases and transplantation rejection. DCs ...
Evaluating tissue culture platforms for use in drug development: A multi-method validational approach
(2017-12)
There has been significant interest in the development of synthetic tissue constructs for drug screening. Multiple approaches to developing tissue cultures that mimic in vivo conditions have been investigated, including ...
Generalized rule antecedent structure for TSK type of dynamic models: Structure identification and parameter estimation
(2009-12)
Scope and Method of Study: A novel rule antecedent structure is proposed to generalize TSK type of dynamic fuzzy models to deal with the problem of curse of dimensionality in conventional TSK fuzzy models. The proposed ...
Diffusion of gases and liquids in nanoporous solids
(2023-05)
The diffusion of gases and liquids under nanoconfinement is of fundamental importance for understanding various processes like catalysis, enhanced oil recovery, and CO₂ sequestration. The present contribution narrates how ...
Approaching sustainability in engineering design with multiple criteria decision analysis
(2005-12)
Scope and Method of Study: This research aimed to the establishment of a general methodological framework, via which the "fuzzy"� and "debatable"� goal of sustainability can be practically achieved in engineering design. ...
Material characterization of graphene enhanced Class-H cement under thermal cyclic conditions
(2022-12)
Geothermal heat harvesting is the process of extracting heat from the earth’s subsurface where it is trapped below the diverse rock formations to be converted into usable energy. Cementing of the drilled wells requires the ...
Development, characterization and evaluation of NTPDase-modified polymer for inhibiting platelet deposition
(2009-05)
The lack of haemocompatibility in biomaterials is a major concern in blood contacting devices. It causes serious complications such as platelet adhesion and aggregation, thrombosis and shedding of emboli, the latter which ...
