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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Adsorption of pure and multi-component gases of importance to enhanced coalbed methane recovery: Measurements and simplified local density modeling
(2005-07)
Scope and Method of Study:
Accelerating convergence of leapfrogging optimization - Applications to nonlinear process modeling and nonlinear model predictive control
(2014-07)
Conventionally used optimization methods in chemical engineering applications such as linear programming (LP), Levenberg-Marquardt and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) handle nonlinear objective function (OF) surfaces ...
