Characterization of the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms fundamental to receptor-mediated white blood cell accumulation.
(1998)
The recruitment of circulating leukocytes to areas of infection and injury is an important aspect of the immune response process. Leukocytes initially attach to and roll on the activated endothelial cells lining the blood ...
Computational Study and Manipulation of Local Chemical Environment in heterogeneous Catalysis and Separation.
(2023-06-09)
Reactive separation is proposed as a less energy-intensive chemical process with functions of catalytic reaction and separation. It offers an active chemical conversion combined with selective separation to obtain the ...
COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS OF RED BLOOD CELL MECHANICAL TRAUMA AND OF DISEASED RENAL ARTERY HEMODYNAMICS
(2011)
In this work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) methods were used to study two separate problems: red blood cell damage in flow and the hemodynamics of diseased renal arteries; ...
Diblock carbon nanotubes compatibilized immiscible polymer blends
(2020-12)
Plastic pollution is one of the most serious environmental challenges the world is currently facing. From contaminating soil and oceans to harming animals that consume it, the damages caused by mismanaged plastic waste ...
Novel platinum/KL catalysts for the aromatization of N-hexane.
(2000)
Finally, regeneration of Pt/KL catalysts was studied for sulfur poisoned catalysts. While air effectively burned off coke deposits, sintering of Pt resulted. An oxychlorination treatment effectively redispersed the Pt.
Characterization of admicellar polymerized and other thin films using scanning probe microscopy (SPM).
(2001)
Characterization techniques and results of polymer and inorganic thin films using Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) were presented. In view of principle, equipment and operation of SPM sample preparation, and surface ...
Transport Phenomena in Micro Scale Channels and Pores by Numerical Simulations
(2014-12-12)
In this thesis, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in conjunction with the Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) algorithm are employed to numerically investigate: (i) the hydraulic responses to a linear array of finite-length ...
Adsorbed surfactant at the solid/liquid interface: Use of adsorbed surfactant aggregates in the synthesis of electrically conducting polymers.
(2003)
The underlying theme to this work is surfactant adsorption at the solid/liquid interface. More specifically, surfactant adsorption has been studied in relation to the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and to the ...
Equilibrium and Transport Properties of Systems Containing Graphene Sheets (-Oil Nanocomposites and Membranes) from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(2014-12-12)
Graphene sheets belong to an interesting class of materials. Their exceptional properties, including high thermal and electrical conductivity, mechanical strength etc., could play an important role in multiple applications, ...
Single-wall carbon nanotubes production by heterogeneous catalytic reaction.
(2000)
A synergistic effect between Co and Mo has been observed. When both metallic species are simultaneously present, particularly when Mo is in excess, the catalyst is very effective. However, when they are separated they are ...
