Champions in our midst: the father of digital video broadcasting
(IEEE, 2015)
One of the benefits of joining the IEEE Consumer Electronics (CE) Society is that you get access to senior engineers and researchers from our industry. They are often at our conferences, workshops, and local Chapter meetings ...
Mechanisms of flooding in Cork City
(International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015-11-17)
Flooding is one of the most frequent and devastating natural disasters. Many urban developments are located in estuaries where river flow and sea water merge. Cork City situated in the River Lee estuary frequently subject ...
Effects of in vitro endochondral priming and pre-vascularisation of human MSC cellular aggregates in vivo
(2015)
Introduction: During endochondral ossification, both the production of a cartilage template and the subsequent vascularisation of that template are essential precursors to bone tissue formation. Recent studies have found ...
Towards holistic goal centered performance management in software development: lessons from a best practice analysis
(SciKA, 2015)
There are strong motivating factors for more effective performance measurement practices in software development. Astute practices in this domain are lauded to improve efficiency and effectiveness. However previous studies ...
An in vitro bone tissue regeneration strategy combining chondrogenic and vascular priming enhances the mineralization potential of mesenchymal stem cells In vitro while also allowing for vessel formation
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2015-03-03)
Chondrogenic priming (CP) of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and coculture of MSCs with human umbilical vein endothelial stem cells (HUVECs) both have been shown to significantly increase the potential for MSCs to undergo ...
Multiscale fluid-structure interaction modelling to determine the mechanical stimulation of bone cells in a tissue engineered scaffold
(2015-04)
Recent studies have shown that mechanical stimulation, by means of flow perfusion and mechanical compression (or stretching), enhances osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and bone cells within biomaterial ...
Modelling the degradation and elastic properties of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) films and regular open -cell tissue engineering scaffolds
(Elsevier, 2015-09-02)
Scaffolding plays a critical rule in tissue engineering and an appropriate degradation rate and sufficient mechanical integrity are required during degradation and healing of tissue. This paper presents a computational ...
A thermodynamically motivated model for stress-fiber reorganization
(Springer Verlag, 2015-09-04)
We present a model for stress-fiber reorganization and the associated contractility that includes both the kinetics of stress-fiber formation and dissociation as well as the kinetics of stress-fiber remodeling. These ...
Effect of fast pyrolysis conditions on biomass solid residues at high temperatures
(Elsevier, 2015-12-03)
Fast pyrolysis of wood and straw was conducted in a drop tube furnace (DTF) and compared with corresponding data from a wire mesh reactor (WMR) to study the influence of temperature (1000–1400)°C, biomass origin (pinewood, ...
Influence of fast pyrolysis conditions on yield and structural transformation of biomass chars
(Elsevier, 2015-09-19)
Fast pyrolysis of biomass (wood, straw, rice husk) and its major components (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin) was conducted in a wire mesh reactor. The aim of this study was to understand the influence of temperature ...
