Strengthening mechanism of additively manufactured cold spray Al deposits under low deposition efficiency
(2021)In this study, a novel strategy to manufacture high strength cold-sprayed Al coating by using powder with wide size distribution is proposed. The microstructure and mechanical properties of deposited ... -
Resident macrophages and their potential in cardiac tissue engineering
(2021)Many facets of tissue engineered models aim to understand cellular mechanisms to recapitulate in vivo behavior, study and mimic diseases for drug interventions and to provide better understanding towards improving regenerative ... -
Natural convection from a triangular array of isothermal horizontal cylinders
(2021)Natural convection heat transfer from three isothermally heated horizontal cylinders submerged in water in a triangular arrangement is investigated. Two configurations, named here as one over two and two over one, are ... -
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 ... -
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 graph-theory approach to optimisation of an acoustic absorber targeting a specific noise spectrum that approaches the causal optimum minimum depth
(2021)Equivalent circuit analysis is a powerful tool for analysing acoustic systems where a lumped element model is valid. These equivalent circuits allow an overall impedance of the structure to be estimated which facilitates ... -
Decellularization and recellularization of cornea: Progress towards a donor alternative.
(2020)The global shortage of donor corneas for transplantation has led to corneal bioengineering being investigated as a method to generate transplantable tissues. Decellularized corneas are among the most promising materials ... -
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 ... -
Experimental study of realistic low noise technologies applied to a full scale nose landing gear
(2021)The landing gear system is the dominant airframe noise source for most modern commercial aircraft during approach. This manuscript reports the results from the ALLEGRA (Advanced Low Noise Landing (Main and Nose) Gear for ... -
Fabrication and biocompatibility of electroconductive silk fibroin/pedot: Pss composites for corneal epithelial regeneration
(2020)The aim of this study was to develop matrices that can support human corneal epithelial cells and innervation by incorporating a conducting polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), ... -
Retinoic Acid Enhances the Differentiation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells to Keratocytes In Vitro.
(2017)Purpose: All-trans retinoic acid (RA) supplementation was investigated as a method of enhancing the differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) to corneal keratocytes in vitro, in combination with a chemically ... -
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, ... -
Silk fibroin safety in the eye: A review that highlights a concern
(2020)The biomedical use of silk as a suture dates back to antiquity. Fibroin is the structural element that determines the strength of silk and here we consider the safety of fibroin in its role in ophthalmology. The high ... -
Exploring the Applicability of Robot-Assisted UV Disinfection in Radiology
(2021)The importance of infection control procedures in hospital radiology departments has become increasingly apparent in recent months as the impact of COVID-19 has spread across the world. Existing disinfectant procedures ... -
Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs) Toward Flexible and Wearable Bioelectronics
(2020)Organic electronics have emerged as a fascinating area of research and technology in the past two decades and are anticipated to replace classic inorganic semiconductors in many applications. Research on organic light-emitting ... -
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, ... -
How context shapes the appropriateness of a robot's voice
(2020)Social robots have a recognizable physical appearance, a distinct voice, and interact with users in specific contexts. Previous research has suggested a 'matching hypothesis', which seeks to rationalise how people judge a ... -
Significance of Crosslinking Approaches in the Development of Next Generation Hydrogels for Corneal Tissue Engineering.
(2021)Medical conditions such as trachoma, keratoconus and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy can damage the cornea, leading to visual deterioration and blindness and necessitating a cornea transplant. Due to the shortage of donor ... -
Investigating the physiological relevance of ex vivo disc organ culture nutrient microenvironments using in silico modeling and experimental validation
(2021)Background: Ex vivo disc organ culture systems have become a valuable tool for the development and pre‐clinical testing of potential intervertebral disc (IVD) regeneration strategies. Bovine caudal discs have been widely ... -
Pore-forming bioinks to enable spatio-temporally defined gene delivery in bioprinted tissues
(2019)The regeneration of complex tissues and organs remains a major clinical challenge. With a view towards bioprinting such tissues, we developed a new class of pore-forming bioink to spatially and temporally control the ...
