Time-resolved high-dynamic-range particle image velocimetry using local uncertainty estimation
(2015)The dynamic velocity range of particle image velocimetry is the ratio of the maximum to the minimum resolvable displacement. Although many techniques have been developed in recent years to extend the dynamic range, flows ... -
Tissue differentiation and bone regeneration in an osteotomized mandible: a computational analysis of the latency period
(Springer, 2008)Mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis is a common clinical procedure to modify the geometrical shape of the mandible for correcting problems of dental overcrowding and arch shrinkage. In spite of consolidated ... -
Tissue engineering scaled-up, anatomically shaped osteochondral constructs for joint resurfacing
(2015)Arthroplasty is currently the only surgical procedure available to restore joint function following articular cartilage and bone degeneration associated with diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). A potential alternative ... -
Tissue engineering whole bones through endochondral ossification: Regenerating the distal phalanx
(2015)Novel strategies are urgently required to facilitate regeneration of entire bones lost due to trauma or disease. In this study, we present a novel framework for the regeneration of whole bones by tissue engineering ... -
Tissue-specific extracellular matrix scaffolds for the regeneration of spatially complex musculoskeletal tissues
(2019)Biological scaffolds generated from tissue-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) are commonly used clinically for soft tissue regeneration. Such biomaterials can enhance tissue-specific differentiation of adult stem cells, ... -
To Design a Designer To Design Designs
(Trinity Centre for Bioengineering, Trinity College Dublin, 2008)This paper reports on the implementation of a new project based design course at first year level of an engineering degree programme. The project, carried out in groups of six, uses the design and construction of ... -
Torsion of monofilament and polyfilament sutures under tension decreases suture strength and increases risk of suture fracture
(2012)Background: A continuous running suture is the preferential method for abdominal closure. In this technique the suture is secured with an initial knot and successive tissue bites are taken. At each tissue bite, the needle ... -
Towards Integration of Two-Dimensional Hexagonal Boron Nitride (2D h-BN) in Energy Conversion and Storage Devices
(2022)The prominence of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) nanomaterials in the energy industry has recently grown rapidly due to their broad applications in newly developed energy systems. This was necessitated ... -
Towards Quieter Air-Cooling Systems: Rotor Self-Noise Prediction for Axial Cooling Fans
(2022)Aeroacoustic noise is seen as a major threat to the survival of air cooling for electronics systems. The application of numerical noise prediction methods is highly constrained by computational costs. A reduced-order model ... -
TRPV4-mediates oscillatory fluid shear mechanotransduction in mesenchymal stem cells in part via the primary cilium
(2018)Skeletal homeostasis requires the continued replenishment of the bone forming osteoblast from a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) population, a process that has been shown to be mechanically regulated. However, the mechanisms ... -
Two- and three-dimensional in vitro nucleus pulposus cultures: An in silico analysis of local nutrient microenvironments
(2022)Background It is well established that the unique biochemical microenvironment of the intervertebral disc plays a predominant role in cell viability and biosynthesis. However, unless the effect of microenvironmental ... -
Ultra-broadband sound absorption in a compact multi-chamber micro-perforated panel absorber with varying depths
(2024)This study presents an enhanced multi-chamber micro-perforated panel absorber (MC-MPPA) with varying sub-chamber depths, offering ultra-broadband low-frequency sound absorption. Traditional micro-perforated panel absorbers ... -
Under surface pressure sensing technique for the evaluation of contact stresses
(2005)In metal forming operations, the intensity and distribution of stresses at the tool/material interface have great influence on the pattern and mode of deformation. This is due to the effect of frictional forces, being ...
