A two and three-dimensional CFD investigation into performance prediction and wake characterisation of a vertical axis turbine
(AIP Publishing, 2018-05-24)
The emergence of tidal energy as a key renewable energy source requires the development of computational design models for accurate prediction of turbine performance and wake effects whilst also being computationally ...
Does making method of alginate hydrogel influence the chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells?
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)
To overcome cartilage injury, strategies have been developed in the last few years based on tissue engineering to rebuild the defects. Cartilage engineering is principally based on three main biological factors: cells ...
A strain-gradient, crystal plasticity model for microstructure-sensitive fretting crack initiation in ferritic-pearlitic steel for flexible marine risers
(Elsevier, 2018-02-03)
A three-dimensional, strain-gradient, crystal plasticity methodology is presented for prediction of microstructure-sensitive length-scale effects in crack initiation, under fatigue and fretting fatigue conditions, for a ...
Chondrogenic induction of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from Wharton's jelly embedded in alginate hydrogel and without added growth factor: an alternative stem cell source for cartilage tissue engineering
(BioMed Central, 2015-12-30)
Background: Due to their intrinsic properties, stem cells are promising tools for new developments in tissue engineering and particularly for cartilage tissue regeneration. Although mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from bone ...
Primary cilia expression in bone marrow in response to mechanical stimulation in explant bioreactor culture
(AO Research Institute Davos, 2016-07-19)
Bone marrow contains a multitude of mechanically sensitive cells that may participate in mechanotransduction. Primary cilia are sensory organelles expressed on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, osteocytes, and ...
Fake data - the future of advanced computer vision systems
(NUI Galway, 2018-10-22)
Recent research shows that Data Augmentation techniques and Synthetic Data can improve the accuracy and reduce the susceptibility of Deep Neural Networks to Adversarial Attacks. In this presentation we consider some of the ...
A physically-based constitutive model for high temperature microstructural degradation under cyclic deformation
(Elsevier, 2017-03-23)
This paper presents a dislocation-mechanics cyclic viscoplasticity model which incorporates the key physical micro-mechanisms of strengthening and softening for high temperature deformation of 9Cr steels. In particular, ...
Osteocyte differentiation and the formation of an interconnected cellular network in vitro
(AO Research Institute Davos, 2016-05-26)
Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness and cell density can regulate osteoblast differentiation in two dimensional environments. However, it is not yet known how osteoblast-osteocyte differentiation is regulated within a 3D ...
A privacy framework for games and interactive media
(IEEE, 2018-08-16)
Privacy is a concept that is intertwined with data security, but its scope is significantly broader. Often considerations of privacy in the context of consumer devices are limited to a consideration of the security of the ...
The effect of the beta phase on the micromechanical response of dual-phase titanium alloys
(Elsevier, 2017-03-24)
This paper investigates the role of beta phase on the micro-mechanical behaviour of dual-phase titanium alloys, with particular emphasis on the phenomenon of cold dwell fatigue, which occurs in such alloys under room ...
