Effect of a degraded core on the mechanical behaviour of tissue-engineered cartilage constructs: a poro-elastic finite element analysis
(Springer, 2004)The structure and functionality of tissue-engineered cartilage is determined by the tissue culture conditions and mechanical conditioning during growth. The quality of tissue-engineered cartilage can be evaluated using ... -
The effect of a thermal renal denervation cycle on the mechanical properties of the arterial wall
(2014)The aim of this study was to determine the effect that a thermal renal denervation cycle has on the mechanical properties of the arterial wall. Porcine arterial tissue specimens were tested in three groups: native tissue, ... -
Effect of Bi Nanoprecipitates on the Thermoelectric Properties of Bi-Sb-Te/Sb2O3 Nanocomposites
(2022)BiSbTe-based nanocomposites hybridized with ceramic nanoparticles have recently revealed their higher efficiency as thermoelectric materials for near room-temperature applications, as compared to the traditional BiTe-SbTe ... -
The effect of bisphosphonate treatment on the biochemical and cellular events during bone remodelling in response to microinjury stimulation
(2015)Osteoporosis is one of the most prevalent bone diseases worldwide and is characterised by high levels of bone turnover, a marked loss in bone mass and accumulation of microdamage, which leads ... -
The Effect of Calcium and Glucose Concentration on Corneal Epithelial Cell Lines Differentiation, Proliferation, and Focal Adhesion Expression.
(2019)It is known that culture media composition can affect cell behavior, morphology, and gene expression. However,in the case of corneal epithelial cells, the combined role of calcium and glucose concentration in media has not ... -
The Effect of Chemical Kinetic Mechanisms on the Flame Transfer Function
(2024)This paper reports the investigation of the effect of chemical kinetic mechanisms on the thermoacoustic behaviour of a premixed combustor test rig. This was done by exploring the flame transfer function (FTF) of three ... -
The effect of concentration, cooling rate and cell seeding density on the initial mechanical properties of agarose hydrogels.
(2009)Agarose hydrogels are commonly used for cartilage tissue engineering studies and to provide a three dimensional environment to investigate cellular mechanobiology. Interpreting the results of such studies requires accurate ... -
The effect of cyclic hydrostatic pressure on the functional development of cartilaginous tissues engineered using bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells
(2011)Mechanical signals can play a key role in regulating the chondrogenic differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). The objective of this study was to determine if the long-term application of cyclic hydrostatic pressure ... -
The Effect of In Process Heat Treatment on the Mechanical Properties of Cold Spray Coatings
(ASM International, 2019)Cold spray (CS) is an additive manufacturing process which has recently gained interest within research and select high-end production systems; however, one of the primary factors limiting the deployment of this process ... -
Effect of moisture condensation on vapour transmission through porous membranes
(2021)Porous membranes find natural application in various fields and industries. Water condensation on membranes can block pores, reduce vapour transmissibility, and diminish the porous membranes' performance. This research ... -
Effect of oscillation frequency on wall shear stress and pressure drop in a rectangular channel for heat transfer applications
(2016)The exploitation of flow unsteadiness in microchannels is a potentially useful technique for enhancing cooling of future photonics systems. Pulsation is thought to alter the thickness of the hydrodynamic and thermal boundary ... -
The effect of pore size on permeability and cell attachment in collagen scaffolds for tissue engineering.
(IOS Press, 2007)The permeability of scaffolds and other three-dimensional constructs used for tissue engineering applications is important as it controls the diffusion of nutrients in and waste out of the scaffold as well as influencing ... -
The effect of pore size within fibrous scaffolds fabricated using melt electrowriting on human bone marrow stem cell osteogenesis.
(2019)Limitations associated with current bone grafting materials has necessitated the development of synthetic scaffolds that mimic the native tissue for bone repair. Scaffold parameters such as pore size, pore interconnectivity, ... -
The effect of prior long-term recellularization with keratocytes of decellularized porcine corneas implanted in a rabbit anterior lamellar keratoplasty model.
(2021)Decellularized porcine corneal scaffolds are a potential alternative to human cornea for keratoplasty. Although clinical trials have reported promising results, there can be corneal haze or scar tissue. Here, we examined ... -
The effect of prosthesis design on vibration of the reconstructed ossicular chain: a comparative finite element analysis of four prostheses
(Wolters Kluwer, 2003)Hypothesis: We hypothesize that the differences in the bioacoustic performance of ossicular replacement prosthesis designs, and insertion positions, can be quantified using finite element analysis. Background: Many ... -
Effect of substrate topography on the regulation of human corneal stromal cells.
(2020)Optimal functionality of native corneal stroma depends on a well-ordered arrangement of extracellular matrix (ECM). To develop an in vitro corneal model, replication of the corneal in vivo microenvironment is needed. In ... -
Effect of the axial gap on the energy consumption of a single-blade wastewater pump
(2021)The effect of the axial gap on the energy consumption of a single-blade wastewater pump (Sulzer XFP PE-2 150E CB1.1) is assessed using URANS simulations with ANSYS Fluent. The numerical model was compared to experimental data ... -
The effect of the VOF-CSF static contact angle boundary condition on the dynamics of sliding and bouncing elliposidal bubbles.
(2011)The staticcontactangle is the only empiricism introduced in a Volume of Fluid?Continuum Surface Force (VOF?CSF) model of bubbly flow. Although it has previously been shown to have a relatively limited effect on the accuracy ...
