Collagen fibre orientation and dispersion govern ultimate tensile strength, stiffness and the fatigue performance of bovine pericardium
(2019)The durability of bovine pericardium leaflets employed in bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) can significantly limit the longevity of heart valve prostheses. Collagen fibres are the dominant load bearing component of bovine ... -
Columnar and equiaxed solidification in a microgravity environment ? The CETSOL project
(2017)The formation of the microstructure and the grain structure during solidification is affected by buoyancy-driven flow and movement of crystals growing in the melt. To allow for pure diffusive solidification conditions, ... -
Columnar to Equiaxed Transition in Peritectic TiAl Based Alloy Studied by a Power-Down Technique
(Trans Tech Publications Inc., 2014) -
A combined experimental and numerical approach for heat transfer enhancement in a minichannel using half rectified pulsating flows
(2024)The miniaturization of electronic packages and their associated high-power density circuits requires more innovative cooling solutions. Single phase pulsating flows offer a promising solution due to their disruption of ... -
Combined influence of basal media and fibroblast growth factor on the expansion and differentiation capabilities of adipose-derived stem cells.
(2014)BACKGROUND: Interest in adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) has increased in recent years due to their multi-linage differentiation capabilities. While much work has been done to optimize the differentiation media, few ... -
Combining BMP-6, TGF-β3 and hydrostatic pressure stimulation enhances the functional development of cartilage tissues engineered using human infrapatellar fat pad derived stem cells
(2013)The objective of this study was to identify a combination of growth factors that could be used with hydrostatic pressure (HP) stimulation to enhance the functional development of cartilaginous grafts engineered using human ... -
Combining freshly isolated chondroprogenitor cells from the infrapatellar fat pad with a growth factor delivery hydrogel as a putative single stage therapy for articular cartilage repair
(2014)Growth factor delivery systems incorporating chondroprogenitor cells are an attractive potential treatment option for damaged cartilage. The rapid isolation, processing, and implantation of therapeutically relevant numbers ... -
A comparative study of shear stresses in collagen-GAG and calcium phosphate scaffolds in bone tissue-engineering bioreactors
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2008)The increasing demand for bone grafts combined with their limited availability and potential risks has led to much new research in bone tissue engineering. Current strategies of bone tissue engineering commonly utilize ... -
A Comparison of Coherence Based Acoustic Source Identification Techniques
(2005)Four techniques of source identification are examined and the performance of each evaluated with experimental data. The procedures are all frequency domain methods and depend to some extent on the coherence function. The ... -
Comparison of metrics for the evaluation of similarity in acoustic pressure signals
(2013)Determining if aeroacoustic sound predictions are accurate is di cult because the question of how to de ne `accurate' remains open. This communication evaluates four metrics for comparing time-domain pressure signals, ... -
A comparison of self-assembly and hydrogel encapsulation as a means to engineer functional cartilaginous grafts using culture expanded chondrocytes.
(2014)Despite an increased interest in the use of hydrogel encapsulation and cellular self-assembly (often termed "self-aggregating" or "scaffold-free" approaches) for tissue-engineering applications, to the best of our knowledge, ... -
A comparison of strain and fluid shear stress in stimulating bone cell responses - a computational and experimental study
(2005)Bone undergoes continuous remodeling in response to mechanical loading. However, the underlying mechanisms by which bone cells respond to their changing mechanical environment, that is, strain in the load-bearing matrix ... -
A comparison of the osteogenic potential of adult rat mesenchymal stem cells cultured in 2-D and on 3-D collagen glycosaminoglycan scaffolds.
(2007)Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capability to differentiate along several lineages including those of bone, cartilage, tendon and muscle, thus offering huge potential for the field of tissue engineering. The ... -
Composite heat sink LED cooling
(2018)Metal coating of 3D printed polymers is an attractive proposition for thermal dissipation of light emitting diodes, due to its high efficiency and markedly lower material costs than conventional aluminum heat sinks. ... -
The Composition of Engineered Cartilage at the Time of Implantation Determines the Likelihood of Regenerating Tissue with a Normal Collagen Architecture.
(2013)The biomechanical functionality of articular cartilage is derived from both its biochemical composition and the architecture of the collagen network. Failure to replicate this normal Benninghoff architecture in regenerating ... -
Composition-function relations of cartilaginous tissues engineered from chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells isolated from bone marrow and infrapatellar fat pad
(2011)The objective of this study was to determine the functional properties of cartilaginous tissues generated by porcine MSCs isolated from different tissue sources, and to compare these properties to those derived from ... -
Computational and Strain Gradient Plasticity
