The effect of workpiece cooling on the machining of biomedical grade polymers
(2014)Biomedical grade polymers are commonly used in applications where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are key, such as in t otal joint replacement and intraocular lenses, yet relatively little research has been ... -
EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES FOR GROUP WORK IN ENGINEERING CURRICULA
(2015)Modern engineers are expected to be able to work effectively in teams and accreditation criteria (e.g. Engineers Ireland [1], ABET - Accreditation Bureau for Engineering and Technology [2]) typically make explicit reference ... -
Effects of Growth Factor Combinations TGFβ3, GDF5 and GDF6 on the Matrix Synthesis of Nucleus Pulposus and Nasoseptal Chondrocyte Self-Assembled Microtissues
(2022)There has been significant interest in identifying alternative cell sources and growth factor stimulation to improve matrix synthesis for disc repair. Recent work has identified nasoseptal chondrocytes (NC) as a possible ... -
Electric field effects during nucleate boiling from an artificial nucleation site
(2011)An experimental study of saturated pool boiling from a single artificial nucleation site on a polished copper surface has been performed. Isolated bubbles grow and depart from the artificial cavity and the bubble dynamics ... -
Electroconductive Melt Electrowritten Patches Matching the Mechanical Anisotropy of Human Myocardium
(2020)Cardiac patches represent a promising strategy for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). Here, an electroconductive cardiac patch that conforms to the mechanics of human myocardium is fabricated. By melt electrospinning ... -
Electronics Thermal Management in Information and Communications Technologies: Challenges and Future Directions
(2017)This paper reviews thermal management challenges encountered in a wide range of electronics cooling applications from large-scale (data center and telecommunication) to small-scale systems (personal, portable/wearable, and ... -
Electrospray array heat transfer
(2018)Multiple source electrospraying enables higher droplet mass flux and greater cooling coverage area in comparison with its single source counterpart. The local convective heat flux to a multiple source electrospray array ... -
Electrospun Poly-D-L-lactic acid fibrous scaffolds as a delivery vehicle for calcium phosphate salts to promote in situ mineralisation and bone regeneration
(2018)Polymeric scaffolds and calcium phosphate cements have both shown promise in treating bone defects, whereby the former facilitates cell-mediated repair over long periods, while the latter facilitates rapid defect filling ... -
Energy Analysis of Fleet Operations using Green Liquid Hydrogen and Synthetic Sustainable Aviation Fuel
(2023)Aircraft designs are changing more rapidly than ever, due to the disruptive technology revolution required to curb harmful emissions, and meet stringent climate targets. As a result, the role of conceptual design tools is ... -
Energy Analysis of Fleet Operations Using Green Liquid Hydrogen and Synthetic Kerosene
(2023)This study aims to determine the optimal fuel choice from a well-to-wake energy perspective by means of a comparative energy analysis of real-world fleet operations using green liquid hydrogen and synthetic sustainable ... -
The energy saving opportunity in targeting non-value add manufacturing activities - a structured approach
(2014)With an ongoing increase in industrial energy demand anticipated in Europe, energy efficiency continues to be an important focus within industrial environments. This paper documents an approach to support the study and ... -
ENGAGEMENT WITH SECOND LEVEL - DOES IT WORK?
(2012)Most Western economies are suffering from problems in attracting students to study Science, Engineering and Technology courses at university level. To address this demand shortage, and also with regard to current financial ... -
Engineering a Corneal Stromal Equivalent Using a Novel Multilayered Fabrication Assembly Technique.
(2020)To overcome the serious shortage of donor corneas for transplantation, alternatives based on tissue engineering need to be developed. Decellularized corneas are one potential alternative, but their densely packed collagen ... -
Engineering cartilage or endochondral bone: A comparison of different naturally derived hydrogels.
(2015)Cartilaginous tissues engineered using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to generate bone in vivo by executing an endochondral programme. This may hinder the use of MSCs for articular cartilage regeneration, ... -
Engineering of large cartilaginous constructs through the use of microchanneled hydrogels and rotational culture
(2009)The development of functional engineered cartilaginous tissues of sufficient size that can be used clinically to treat large defects remains a major and significant challenge. This study investigated if the introduction ... -
Engineering osteochondral constructs through spatial regulation of endochondral ossification.
(2013)Chondrogenically primed bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to become hypertrophic and undergo endochondral ossification when implanted in vivo. Modulating this endochondral phenotype may ...
