Evaluation of the early in vivo response of a functionally graded macroporous scaffold in an osteochondral defect in a rabbit model
(Springer Verlag, 2015-10-05)
Cartilage tissue engineering is a multifactorial problem requiring a wide range of material property requirements from provision of biological cues to facilitation of mechanical support in load-bearing diarthrodial joints. ...
Considering time in migration and border control practices
(Inderscience, 2016-10)
Practices within the area of migration and border control are often
analysed through a spatial lens. This is understandable: migration studies deal
with movement of people across different places and spaces. Internatio ...
Semantic representation and enrichment of information retrieval experimental data
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016-05-28)
Experimental evaluation carried out in international large-scale campaigns is a fundamental pillar of the scientific and technological advancement of information retrieval (IR) systems. Such evaluation activities produce ...
Modulation of human uterine smooth muscle cell collagen contractility by thrombin, Y-27632, TNF alpha and indomethacin
(Springer, 2009-01-08)
Background: Preterm labour occurs in approximately 10% of pregnancies and is a major cause of infant
morbidity and mortality. However, the pathways involved in regulating contractility in normal and preterm labour
are ...
Upregulation of PSCDBP, TLR2, TWIST1, FLJ35382, EDNRB, and RGS12 gene expression in human myometrium at labor.
(Sage, 2008)
The regulatory mechanisms underlying myometrial smooth muscle contractility during labor are poorly understood. The authors therefore investigated the transcriptional profile of the changes that occur in the human myometrium ...
Impact of kelp cultivation on the Ecological Status of benthic habitats and Zostera marina seagrass biomass
(Elsevier, 2017-07-25)
The Ecological Status of subtidal benthic communities within a commercial kelp farm on the southwest coast of Ireland was not impacted by macroalgal cultivation. Additionally, there was no effect on the biomass of Zostera ...
An evaluation of the effectiveness of the U.S Navy's crew resource management program
(Inderscience, 2012)
Although every U.S. Naval aviator receives annual Crew Resource Management (CRM) training designed to improve mission effectiveness, the program has not been formally evaluated in the last decade. To assess the adequacy ...
Theoretical and Kinetic Study of the Reactions of Ketones with HO(2) Radicals. Part I: Abstraction Reaction Channels.
(2013)
This work presents an ab-initio and chemical kinetic study of the reaction
mechanisms of hydrogen atom abstraction by the HO2 radical on five ketones:
dimethyl, ethyl methyl, n-propyl methyl, iso-propyl methyl and iso-butyl ...
Sterile post-traumatic immunosuppression
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-04-29)
After major trauma, the human immune system initiates a series of inflammatory events at the injury site that is later followed by suppression of local inflammation favoring the repair and remodeling of the damaged tissues. ...
Theoretical and Kinetic Study of the Reaction of Ethyl Methyl Ketone with HO2 for T = 600 -1, 600 K. Part II: Addition Reaction Channels
(2013)
The temperature and pressure dependence of the addition reaction of ethyl methyl ketone (EMK) with HO2 radical has been calculated with the master equation method employing conventional transition state theory estimates ...
