Establishing governing equations for 3D cell culture in perfusion bioreactors
(2014-05)
Culturing cells and regenerating tissues in vitro on 3D scaffolds involves several challenges, such as efficient nutrient transportation, uniform stress distribution, and the removal of wastes. Bioreactors not only allow ...
Hydrate formation in waxy oil systems
(2016-12)
Emulsions are of great importance due to their widespread occurrence in industries such as pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food, agricultural, and energy. In the energy industry, emulsions may be encountered in all stages of ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Quantitative structure-property relationship modeling & computer-aided molecular design: Improvements & applications
(2012-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective of this work was to develop an integrated capability to design molecules with desired properties. An automated robust genetic algorithm (GA) module has been developed to facilitate ...
New liquid holdup, load point and flooding velocity models in different regions of operations for a structured packed column
(2014-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Liquid holdup of structured packed column affects the pressure drop, flooding velocity, and HETP. For this reason, liquid holdup was used as an important model parameter by different researchers ...
