Bovine pericardium of high fibre dispersion has high fatigue life and increased collagen content; potentially an untapped source of heart valve leaflet tissue
(2020)Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are implanted in aortic valve stenosis patients to replace the native, dysfunctional valve. Yet, the long-term performance of the glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium (GLBP) leaflets ... -
Collagen fibre characterisation in arterial tissue under load using SALS
(2017)The collagen fibre architecture of arterial tissue is known to play a key role in its resultant mechanical behaviour, while maladaptive remodelling of this architecture may be linked to disease. Many of the techniques ... -
Collagen fibre orientation and dispersion govern ultimate tensile strength, stiffness and the fatigue performance of bovine pericardium
(2019)The durability of bovine pericardium leaflets employed in bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) can significantly limit the longevity of heart valve prostheses. Collagen fibres are the dominant load bearing component of bovine ... -
Human bone marrow stem/stromal cell osteogenesis is regulated via mechanically activated osteocyte-derived extracellular vesicles
(2020)Bone formation or regeneration requires the recruitment, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of stem/stromal progenitor cells. A potent stimulus driving this process is mechanical loading. Osteocytes are ... -
The Impact of Additive Manufacturing on the Acoustic Performance of Novel Porous Materials
(2022)Commonly used conventional acoustic porous materials suffer from a limited operational frequency range and great dependency of the sample thickness on their performance. For this reason, acoustic metamaterials have caught ... -
Natural convection from a triangular array of isothermal horizontal cylinders
(2021)Natural convection heat transfer from three isothermally heated horizontal cylinders submerged in water in a triangular arrangement is investigated. Two configurations, named here as one over two and two over one, are ... -
A Novel Linear Air Amplifier Technology to Replace Rotary Fans in Data Center Server Rack Cooling
(2020)This paper investigates the potential of a novel linear airflow amplifier designed to replace rotary fans for various industries where their performance is undesirable like electronics cooling applications in compact data ... -
A review of heat pipe technology for foldable electronic devices
(2021)The advent of foldable and wearable devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy Fold (2019) and Huawei Mate X (2019), require increased battery size and processor performance to drive their larger flexible displays. There is a ...
