Layer-specific stem cell differentiation in tri-layered tissue engineering biomaterials: Towards development of a single-stage cell-based approach for osteochondral defect repair
(2021)Successful repair of osteochondral defects is challenging, due in part to their complex gradient nature. Tissue engineering approaches have shown promise with the development of layered scaffolds that aim to promote cartilage ... -
Lean energy : a methodology to characterise and optimise energy consumption within manufacturing lines
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2015)With an ongoing increase in industrial energy demand anticipated in Europe over the next twenty years, energy efficiency continues to be an important focus within industrial environments. As consumer products have become ... -
LEGO MINDSTORMS AS A TEACHING TOOL IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
(2010)The primary purpose of this paper is the development of an active-learning, constructivist coursework plan, adhering to the Conceive Design Implement Operate (CDIO) initiative, for integration with the standard second level ... -
Liquid immersion thermal management of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles: An experimental study
(2023)The thermal and electrical performance of lithium-ion batteries subjected to liquid immersion cooling conditions in a dielectric fluid has been experimentally investigated in this study. A single 26650 LiFePO4 cylindrical ... -
A Liquid-Based System for CPU Cooling Implementing a Jet Array Impingement Waterblock and a Tube Array Remote Heat Exchanger
(2012)A liquid CPU cooler has been designed and tested with the aim to achieve a cooling capacity of 200 W for a surface area of 8.24 cm2, commensurate with the integrated heat spreader dimensions of an Intel? Pentium? 4 Processor. ... -
Loading behaviour of 900 'UREAD' energy channels
(2008)Most engineering products are designed to either deliver or withstand a specific maximum force or level of energy. It is important however that the design of a structure or a machine incorporates an ... -
Local Heat Transfer to an Evaporating Sessile Droplet in an Electric Field
(2016)Local heat transfer of an evaporating sessile droplet under a static electric field is an underdeveloped topic. In this research an 80 μl water droplet is placed in the centre of a 25 μm thick stainless steel substrate. A ... -
Local heat transfer to an evaporating superhydrophobic droplet
(2018)The heat flux distribution beneath a superhydrophobic evaporating droplet has been explored. High speed, high resolution infrared thermography was employed to measure the heat transfer characteristics of the evaporating ... -
Loss of trabeculae by mechano-biological means may explain rapid bone loss in osteoporosis.
(2008)Osteoporosis is characterized by rapid and irreversible loss of trabecular bone tissue leading to increased bone fragility. In this study, we hypothesize two causes for rapid loss of bone trabeculae; firstly, the perforation ... -
Low oxygen tension is a more potent promoter of chondrogenic
(2010)During fracture healing and microfracture treatment of cartilage defects mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) infiltrate the wound site, proliferate extensively and differentiate along a cartilaginous or an osteogenic lineage ... -
Macroscale modelling of Bridgman furnace solidification for the prediction of texture evolution and columnar to equiaxed transition
(Institute of Physics, 2016)Bridgman furnaces are commonly used in solidification research owing to their convenience when setting the desired solidification parameters, specifically, the nominal temperature gradient and nominal growth rate. The work ...
