Effects of long-term exposure of gelatinated and non-gelatinated cadmium telluride quantum dots on differentiated PC12 cells
(BioMed Central, 2012-01-20)Background: The inherent toxicity of unmodified Quantum Dots (QDs) is a major hindrance to their use in biological applications. To make them more potent as neuroprosthetic and neurotherapeutic agents, thioglycolic acid ... -
Effects of material thickness and processing method on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) degradation and mechanical performance
(Springer Verlag, 2016-09-02)In this study, the effects of material thickness and processing method on the degradation rate and the changes in the mechanical properties of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) material during simulated physiological degradation ... -
Effects of proteasome inhibition on cisplatin induced DNA damage responses in human cells
(2012-02-07)The proteasome is the main site of protein degradation in human cells, and plays a major role in the regulation of cellular processes including cell cycle progression, DNA repair and the DNA damage response. Proteasome ... -
Effects Of See-Through Interfaces On User Acceptance Of Small-Screen Information Systems
(2008-11-26)Small-screen devices such as mobile phones are increasingly pervasive. Reduced screen areas compromise the ease-of-use of such devices, and consequently, a concern for system designers becomes the maximization of ... -
Effects of stimulus synchrony on mechanisms of perceptual organization
(Taylor & Francis, 2001-06-05)When neurons adopt a synchronized, oscillatory response to stimulus Gestalten, the phase of those oscillations almost always varies relative to stimulus activity. This has been taken to indicate that form-coding mechanisms ... -
The effects of subthreshold synchrony on the perception of simultaneity
(Springer, 2007)We aimed to examine the effects of subthreshold synchrony and asynchrony on the perception of simultaneity. We rendered simultaneous or asynchronous luminance changes below detection thresholds by embedding them in a ... -
The effects of subthreshold synchrony on the perception of simultaneity.
(Springer, 2007)We aimed to examine the effects of subthreshold synchrony and asynchrony on the perception of simultaneity. We rendered simultaneous or asynchronous luminance changes below detection thresholds by embedding them in a ... -
The effects of Vibrio parahaemolyticus on Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase signalling pathways and intestinal epithelial host cell responses
(2013-02-20)Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a gram negative bacterium that is found in marine and estuarine environments. Although found amongst the commensal flora of shellfish, V. parahaemolyticus is a potent human pathogen. Consumption ... -
The efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions in primary care: a meta-analytic review
(Annals of Family Medicine, 2015-07-16)PURPOSE Positive effects have been reported after mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in diverse clinical and nonclinical populations. Primary care is a key health care setting for addressing common chronic conditions, ... -
The efficiency of a sequencing batch reactor (SBBR) in organic carbon and phosphorus removal
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)A laboratory sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR), operated for a period of 158 days, was used to treat domestic-strength synthetic effluent. The biofilm. reactor comprised a bulk fluid reactor, a biofilm plastic module, ... -
An Eigenvalue-Based Measure for Word-Sense Disambiguation
(FLAIRS 2012, 2012)Current approaches for word-sense disambiguation (WSD) try to relate the senses of the target words by optimizing a score for each sense in the context of all other words' senses. However, by scoring each sense separately, ... -
Elastic Cherenkov effects in transversely isotropic soft materials-I: Theoretical analysis, simulations and inverse method
(Elsevier, 2016-06-25)A body force concentrated at a point and moving at a high speed can induce shear-wave Mach cones in dusty-plasma crystals or soft materials, as observed experimentally and named the elastic Cherenkov effect (ECE). The ECE ... -
Elastic interface acoustic waves in twinned crystals
(Elsevier, 2003)A new type of interface acoustic waves (IAW) is presented, for single-crystal orthotropic twins bonded symmetrically along a plane containing only one common crystallographic axis. The effective boundary conditions show ... -
Elastin-like polypeptide mediated proangiogenic and anti-inflammatory gene therapy for critical limb ischemia
(2014-12-17)Critical limb ischemia is a major clinical problem. Despite rigorous treatment regimes, there has been modest success in reducing the rate of amputations in these patients. Reduced level of blood flow and enhanced inflammation ... -
Electrically-Heated Ceramic Composite Tooling for Out-of-Autoclave Manufacturing of Large Composite Structures
(2011)This paper describes the development of electrically-heated ceramic composite tooling, aimed primarily at the manufacture of large composites structures, for aerospace or for wind energy. The tooling is designed to operate ... -

Electromechanical properties of dried tendon and isoelectrically focused collagen hydrogels
(Elsevier, 2012-08)Assembling artificial collagenous tissues with structural, functional, and mechanical properties which mimic natural tissues is of vital importance for many tissue engineering applications. While the electro-mechanical ... -
Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in the SEM: applications to microstructures in minerals and rocks and recent technological advancements
(Sociedad Española de la Mineralogía, 2008-09-16)Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is based on the principle that a beam of electrons generated in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the source of randomly scattered electrons in a specimen. The backscattered ... -
