The aim of this study was to develop matrices that can support human corneal epithelial cells and innervation by incorporating a conducting polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), ...

Water optimisation methods and water benchmarking are receiving growing attention in manufacturing surroundings. A basic requirement for any of these approaches is a water metering audit. However, missing ...

An acoustic metamaterial is evaluated successfully as a means to reduce axial fan noise in an IT server rack application. The continuing growth in demand for cloud-based memory storage is outpacing sustainable energy ...

Focal articular cartilage (AC) defects, if left untreated, can lead to debilitating diseases such as osteoarthritis. While several tissue engineering strategies have been developed to promote cartilage regeneration, it ...

A novel off - grid electricity - producing device has been designed for integration with biomass - fuelled improved cooking stoves commonly in use in the developing world. The device operates on the ...

Impinging synthetic jets have excellent potential for energy-efficient local cooling in confined geometries. For a given geometry, synthetic jet flows are mainly characterised by the Reynolds number and the ratio of stroke ...

Both vapour and gas bubbles are known to significantly increase heat transfer rates between a heated surface and the surrounding fluid, even with no phase change. However, the complex wake structures means that the surface ...
