A review of heat pipe technology for foldable electronic devices
(2021)The advent of foldable and wearable devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy Fold (2019) and Huawei Mate X (2019), require increased battery size and processor performance to drive their larger flexible displays. There is a ... -
A review on conductive polymers and their hybrids for flexible and wearable thermoelectric applications
(2021)There is a growing demand for flexible and wearable next-generation electronic devices that must be capable of bending and stretching under mechanical deformation. In this regard, energy harvesting technologies have ... -
Review—Towards the Two-Dimensional Hexagonal Boron Nitride (2D h-BN) Electrochemical Sensing Platforms
(2020)Electrochemical sensing performance of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) has traditionally been suppressed by their intrinsic electrical insulation and deficient electron transportation mechanism. However, ... -
A role for the primary cilium in paracrine signaling between mechanically stimulated osteocytes and mesenchymal stem cells.
(2011)Bone turnover is a mechanically regulated process, coordinated in part by the network of mechanosensitive osteocytes residing within the tissue. The recruitment and bone forming activity of the mesenchymal derived osteoblast ... -
The role of environmental factors in regulating the development of cartilaginous grafts engineered using osteoarthritic human infrapatellar fat pad-derived stem cells.
(2012)Engineering functional cartilaginous grafts using stem cells isolated from osteoarthritic human tissue is of fundamental importance if autologous tissue engineering strategies are to be used in the treatment of diseased ... -
The Role of Macrophages in the Infarcted Myocardium: Orchestrators of ECM Remodeling.
(2019)Myocardial infarction is the most common form of acute cardiac injury attributing to heart failure. While there have been significant advances in current therapies, mortality and morbidity remain high. Emphasis on inflammation ... -
The role of mechanical signals in regulating chondrogenesis and osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells
(2010)It is becoming increasingly clear that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation is regulated by mechanical signals. Mechanical forces generated intrinsically within the cell in response to its extracellular environment, ... -
The role of the superficial region in determining the dynamic properties of articular cartilage.
(2012)OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to elucidate the role of the superficial region of articular cartilage in determining the dynamic properties of the tissue. It is hypothesised that removal of the superficial ... -
THE ROLE OF VERIFICATION IN COMPUTER MODELLING: A CASE STUDY IN SOLIDIFICATION PROCESSING
(2014)Computer modelling has become an important aspect of engineering science and technology. Bespoke computer models are routinely under development and are often applied to specific manufacturing and materials processes. ... -
Scaling of Convective Heat Transfer Enhancement Due to Flow Pulsation in an Axisymmetric Impinging Jet
(2013)Impinging jets are widely used to achieve a high local convective heat flux, with applications in high power density electronics and various other industrial fields. The heat transfer to steady impinging jets has been ... -
The Scissors Model of Microcrack Detection in Bone: Work in Progress
(2010)We have proposed a new model for microcrack detection by osteocytes in bone. According to this model, cell signalling is initiated by the cutting of cellular processes which span the crack. We show that shear displacements ... -
Self-healing materials: What can nature teach us?
(2017)Natural materials such as bone and insect cuticle are capable of self-repair, a facility that greatly increases their durability and safe working stress. Some engineering materials have also been designed to be self-healing, ... -
SeMSA: a compact super absorber optimised for broadband, low-frequency noise attenuation
(2020)The attenuation of low-frequency broadband noise in a light, small form-factor is an intractable challenge. In this paper, a new technology is presented which employs the highly efficient visco-thermal loss mechanism of a ...
