( Elsevier Masson s.r.l. , 2022 , Article)Impaired diabetic wounds are serious pathophysiological complications associated with persistent microbial infections including failure in the closure of wounds, and the cause of a high frequency of lower limb amputations. ... -
Skin bioprinting: a novel approach for creating artificial skin from synthetic and natural building blocks
( SpringerOpen , 2018 , Article Review)Significant progress has been made over the past few decades in the development of in vitro-engineered substitutes that mimic human skin, either as grafts for the replacement of lost skin, or for the establishment of in ... -
Cisplatin encapsulated nanoparticles from polymer blends for anti-cancer drug delivery
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2022 , Article)Developing novel nanocarriers for anticancer drug delivery has become a ‘promising niche’. The toxicity of the carrier and its efficacy in treatment modalities have become cardinal points as they can impede the progress ... -
Frosting mechanism and behaviors on surfaces with simple geometries: A state-of-the-art literature review
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Frosting causes negative impacts in many technical and engineering fields, such as refrigeration, air source heat pump, aircraft, wind power generation, and power grids. To alleviate the negative impacts of frosting, studies ... -
A predictive control strategy for electrochromic glazing to balance the visual and thermal environmental requirements: Approach and energy-saving potential assessment
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Electrochromic (EC) glazing provides a promising solution to actively adjusting the sunlight and radiant heat through windows in response to building visual and thermal environmental requirements, and control strategies ... -

An experimental study on achieving even-frosting for an air source heat pump using a novel dual-fan outdoor coil
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Many related studies suggested that a fixed airflow direction usually led to that the most frost would only deposit on the windward side of finned tube heat exchangers (FTHXs) of the traditional single fan outdoor coils ... -
Developing condensing-frosting performance maps for a variable speed air source heat pump (ASHP) for frosting suppression
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)For a space heating ASHP unit, frosting on its outdoor coil would adversely impact its normal operation, requiring frequent defrosting and resulting in low operating efficiency and poor indoor thermal comfort. It has been ... -
Development of a variable water temperature control method for air source heat pump based on the supply–demand balance
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Air source heat pump (ASHP) is one of renewable energy technologies, and has been widely used for space heating. In practice applications, the setting value of its supply water temperature is long-term fixed, resulting in ... -
Performance analysis of air source heat pump space heating system with an adaptive control for supply water temperature
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) have been widely used for heating in buildings. While in practice, the setting value of its supply water temperature is always far higher than the theoretical value owing to the delayed ... -
Application of Metastructures for Targeted Low-Frequency Vibration Suppression in Plates
( Springer , 2022 , Article)Purpose We present an approach that combines finite element analysis and genetic algorithms to find the optimal configuration of local resonators created in the host structure to suppress their vibration in a target ... -
