Calorimetric and dynamic mechanical behavior of phase change materials based on paraffin wax supported by expanded graphite
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
This study addressed the characterization and description of calorimetric and dynamic mechanical properties of phase change materials (PCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), paraffin wax (W) and expanded ...
A Practical and Scalable Tool to Find Overlaps between Sequences
(
Hindawi
, 2015 , Article)
The evolution of the next generation sequencing technology increases the demand for efficient solutions, in terms of space and time, for several bioinformatics problems. This paper presents a practical and easy-to-implement ...
Transcriptome assembly, profiling and differential gene expression analysis of the halophyte Suaeda fruticosa provides insights into salt tolerance
(
BioMed Central
, 2015 , Article)
Background
Improvement of crop production is needed to feed the growing world population as the amount and quality of agricultural land decreases and soil salinity increases. This has stimulated research on salt tolerance ...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2017 , Article)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by a disruption in the normal function of the brain due to an injury following a trauma, which can potentially cause severe physical, cognitive, and emotional impairment. The ...
Cholinergic and dopaminergic neuronal differentiation of human adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells.
(
Wiley
, 2018 , Article)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that can differentiate into various cell types such as cartilage, bone, and fat cells. Recent studies have shown that induction of MSCs in vitro by growth factors including ...
Cryogenic temperature and strain rate dependence of mechanical properties for extruded AA6060 alloys
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Tensile properties and fracture behavior of an AA6060 alloy were investigated at room temperature (295K) and cryogenic temperature (77K). It was found that both ultimate tensile strength and elongation increased with ...
Genetically unmatched human iPSC and ESC exhibit equivalent gene expression and neuronal differentiation potential.
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
The potential uniformity between differentiation and therapeutic potential of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) remains debatable. We studied the gene expression profiles, ...
Thermal properties measurement and heat storage analysis of paraffin/graphite composite phase change material
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
This study aims at the preparation of a paraffin/graphite waste composite for thermal energy storage application at low temperature. In this composite material, the paraffin is characterized by high phase change latent ...
