Carbonation in stabilised peat: an accelerated pilot study
(ICE Institution of Civil Engineers, 2015)
Due to stringent environmental regulations, embodied carbon estimates are being used increasingly to assess the environmental
impact of major building and infrastructure projects, including their geotechnical components. ...
An embodied carbon and embodied energy appraisal of a section of Irish motorway constructed in peatlands
(Elsevier, 2015-01-29)
In addition to the customary drivers of cost and timely project delivery, embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC) have come to prominence in recent years as major design considerations in all aspects of large-scale ...
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 ...
A living thick nanofibrous implant bifunctionalized with active growth factor and stem cells for bone regeneration
(Dove Medical Press, 2015-02-04)
New-generation implants focus on robust, durable, and rapid tissue regeneration to shorten recovery times and decrease risks of postoperative complications for patients. Herein, we describe a new-generation thick nanofibrous ...
Iris recognition on consumer devices - challenges and progress
(IEEE, 2015-11-11)
This article outlines various technical, social and ethical challenges in implementing and widely adopting iris recognition technology on consumer devices such as smartphone or tablets. Acquisition of sufficient quality ...
Holistic evaluation of field-scale denitrifying bioreactors as a basis to improve environmental quality.
(Association of Crop, Soil and Environmental Societies (ACSES), 2015-10-02)
Denitrifying bioreactors effectively convert nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) to di-nitrogen and thereby protect water quality in agricultural landscapes. In the present study, the performance of a pilot-scale bioreactor (50 m ...
Improving the finite element model accuracy of tissue engineered scaffolds produced by selective laser sintering
(Springer Verlag, 2015-01-13)
In bone tissue engineering, both geometrical and mechanical properties of a scaffold play a major part in the success of the treatment. The mechanical stresses and strains that act on cells on a scaffold in a physiological ...
Micro-scale testing and micromechanical modelling for high cycle fatigue for CoCr stent material
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-02-20)
This paper presents a framework of experimental testing and crystal plasticity micromechanics for high cycle fatigue (HCF) of micro-scale L605 CoCr stent material. Micro-scale specimens, representative of stent struts, are ...
