Finite element modelling and characterization of 3D cellular microstructures for the design of a cementless biomimetic porous hip stem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Titanium porous cellular microstructures are commonly used in bone mimetic implants. The orientations of the internal strut architectures of these microstructures affect the mechanical performance under various loads; ...
Fabrication and characterization of size-selected Cu nanoclusters using a magnetron sputtering source
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Copper nanoclusters are used widely in applications such as glucose and gas sensors. A physical method is used to produce copper nanoclusters utilizing an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) system. Using a quadrupole mass filter ...
Expression of sperm PLC? and clinical outcomes of ICSI-AOA in men affected by globozoospermia due to DPY19L2 deletion
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Globozoospermia is characterized by the presence of 100% acrosomeless round-headed spermatozoa in an ejaculate. Failed fertilization after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is commonly reported for globozoospermic ...
Advanced antifouling zwitterionic layer based impedimetric HER2 biosensing in human serum: Glycoprofiling as a novel approach for breast cancer diagnostics
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
There are two key novel components presented here behind identification of potential novel breast cancer (BCa) diagnostic approach: 1. application of photoimmobilizable zwitterionic hydrogels resisting non-specific protein ...
Influence of relative humidity on the electrical response of PEDOT:PSS based organic field-effect transistor
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
We have investigated the influence of relative humidity on the electrical response of a bottom gate organic field-effect transistor (OFET) with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as an ...
Indentation and bending behavior of electroless Ni-P-Ti composite coatings on pipeline steel
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Electroless Ni-P coatings have been adopted in many industrial applications due to their excellent wear and corrosion resistance. The unique properties and autocatalytic nature suggest a potential usage as a pipeline inner ...
Template-assisted growth of nanoporous VTTBNc films: Morphology and moisture sensitivity studies
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
A novel structured of nanoporous vanadyl 2,11,20,29-Tetra Tert-Butyl 2,3 Naphthalocyanine (VTTBNc) films were prepared by template-assisted method. The structure and morphology of the fabricated VTTBNc nanostructures were ...
Clogging vs. fouling in immersed membrane bioreactors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Whilst the fouling of MBR membrane surfaces has been very extensively explored by the academic community, there is an increasingly widespread recognition by practitioners of the issue of clogging of membrane channels with ...
An optimal two-bout strategy with phase change material cooling vests to improve comfort in hot environment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Cooling vests incorporating phase change material (PCM) packets are used to improve comfort of workers in hot environments. This work aims to investigate by modeling and experimentation the effect of dividing the working ...
The role of statistics in data-centric engineering
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
We explore the role of statistics for Big Data analysis arising from the emerging field of Data-Centric Engineering. Using examples related to sensor-instrumented bridges, we highlight a number of issues and challenges. ...
