Effect of surface structure on peptide adsorption on soft surfaces
(Elsevier, 2020-08-28)Understanding protein adsorption onto material surfaces is a major challenge in the design of biomaterials. While this has been long studied, knowledge of how the nanoscale surface structure affects protein adsorption is ... -
Effect of the air–water interface on the conformation of amyloid beta
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-12-17)ABSTRACT It has long been recognized that liquid interfaces, such as the air water interface (AWI), can enhance the formation of protein fibrils. This makes liquid interfaces attractive templates for fibril formation but ... -
Effects of ball-milling and cryomilling on sulfamerazine polymorphs: A quantitative study
(Elsevier, 2014-04-11)The effects of ball-milling and cryomilling on sulfamerazine forms I and II (SMZ FI, FII) were investigated using X-ray powder diffraction, infrared and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Cryomilling resulted in a complete ... -
Effects of nerve bundle geometry on neurotrauma evaluation
(Wiley, 2018-06-16)ObjectiveWe confirm that alteration of a neuron structure can induce abnormalities in signal propagation for nervous systems, as observed in brain damage. Here, we investigate the effects of geometrical changes and damage ... -
Eight rules for improving the quality of papers on the antimicrobial susceptibility of bacteria isolated from aquatic animals
(Inter-Research Science Publisher, 2020-04-30)The methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bacteria, although relatively simple, are not robust. As a consequence, if the data generated in such tests are to be commensu- rate, all susceptibility tests must ... -
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 ... -
Electro-elastic Lamb waves in dielectric plates
(Elsevier, 2020-05-20)We study the propagation of Lamb waves in soft dielectric plates subject to mechanical and electrical loadings and find the explicit expressions for the dispersion equations in the cases of neo-Hookean and Gent dielectrics. ... -
Electro-mechanical response of a 3D nerve bundle model to mechanical loads leading to axonal injury
(Wiley, 2017-11-21)Traumatic brain injuries and damage are major causes of death and disability. We propose a 3D fully coupled electro-mechanical model of a nerve bundle to investigate the electrophysiological impairments due to trauma at ... -
Electro-mechanically guided growth and patterns
(Elsevier, 2020-07-01)Several experiments have demonstrated the existence of an electro-mechanical effect in many biological tissues and hydrogels, and its actual influence on growth, migration, and pattern formation. Here, to model these ... -
Electrochemical glucose biosensor based on an osmium redox polymer and glucose oxidase grafted to carbon nanotubes: A design-of-experiments optimisation of current density and stability
(Elsevier, 2021-01-25)Enzymatic glucose electrodes based on mediated electron transfer have potential for application as semi-implantable or implantable sensors. Enzyme electrodes consisting of adsorbed osmium-based redox polymer crosslinked ... -
Electrolysis of low-grade and saline surface water

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 ... -
Electron beam therapy at extended SSD: a Monte Carlo investigation of output fom a Siemens Oncor linear accelerator
(2008)Electron-beam therapy is used to treat superficial tumors at a standard 100 cm source-to-surface distance (SSD). However, certain clinical situations require the use of an extended SSD. In the present study, Monte Carlo ... -
Electrostatically tunable axisymmetric vibrations of soft electro-active tubes
(Elsevier, 2020-05-28)Due to their unique electromechanical coupling properties, soft electro-active (SEA) resonators are actively tunable, extremely suitable, and practically important for designing the next-generation acoustic and vibration ... -
Electrothermal equivalent three-dimensional finite-element model of a single neuron
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-09-14)Objective: We propose a novel approach for modelling the interdependence of electrical and mechanical phenomena in nervous cells, by using electrothermal equivalences in finite element (FE) analysis so that existing ... -
