Age-related responses to injury and repair in insect cuticle
(The Company of Biologists Ltd, 2019)We evaluated the ability of female adult desert locusts (Schistocercagregaria) to repair injuries to their exoskeletons and restore mechanical strength over the course of their natural life. We discovered that younger ... -
Biomechanical factors in the adaptations of insect tibia cuticle
(2016)Insects are among the most diverse groups of animals on Earth. Their cuticle exoskeletons vary greatly in terms of size and shape, and are subjected to different applied forces during daily activities. We investigated the ... -

Collagen fibre characterisation in arterial tissue under load using SALS
(2017)The collagen fibre architecture of arterial tissue is known to play a key role in its resultant mechanical behaviour, while maladaptive remodelling of this architecture may be linked to disease. Many of the techniques ... -
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) -
Conditions for CET in a gamma TiAl alloy
(2015)The solidification of gamma TiAl alloys is of interest to the aerospace and automotive industries. A gamma TiAl multicomponent alloy: Ti–45.5Al–4.7Nb–0.2C–0.2B (at. %) has been the focus of a study to investigate the ... -
Dextran Preserves Native Corneal Structure During Decellularization.
(2016)Corneal decellularization has become an increasingly popular technique for generating scaffolds for corneal regeneration. Most decellularization procedures result in tissue swelling, thus limiting their application. Here, ... -
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 ... -
An experimental-numerical method for estimating heat transfer in a Bridgman furnace
(2014)Direct measurement of heat flux and heat transfer coefficients in a Bridgman furnace is not always possible using traditional methods. This study characterised a vertical tubular Bridgman furnace using experimental data ... -
The fracture toughness of eggshell
