Statistical modelling of road crashes has been of extreme interest to researchers over the last decades. Such models are necessary for the investigation of the opportunities for road safety improvement. The motor vehicle ...
Sintering behaviour and properties of manganese-doped alumina
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The effect of manganese (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 wt%) on the sintering and mechanical properties of alumina was studied. Sintering was carried out by the conventional heating method in a box furnace and in a hybrid multimode ...
Yttrium oxide nanoparticle loaded scaffolds with enhanced cell adhesion and vascularization for tissue engineering applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In situ tissue engineering is emerging as a novel approach in tissue engineering to repair damaged tissues by boosting the natural ability of the body to heal itself. This can be achieved by providing suitable signals and ...
