Modified multiplicative decomposition model for tissue growth: Beyond the initial stress-free state
(Elsevier, 2018-05-19)The multiplicative decomposition model is widely employed for predicting residual stresses and morphologies of biological tissues due to growth. However, it relies on the assumption that the tissue is initially in a ... -
Molecular dynamics study of nanoparticle stability at liquid interfaces: effect of nanoparticle-solvent interaction and capillary waves
(AIP Publishing, 2011)While the interaction of colloidal particles (sizes in excess of 100 nm) with liquidinterfaces may be understood in terms of continuum models, which are grounded in macroscopic properties such as surface and line tensions, ... -
Molecular simulation of hydrophobin adsorption at an oil-water interface
(American Chemical Society, 2012-05-16)Hydrophobins are small, amphiphilic proteins expressed by strains of filamentous fungi. They fulfill a number of biological functions, often related to adsorption at hydrophobic interfaces, and have been investigated for ... -
Molecular simulation of nanoparticle diffusion at fluid interfaces
(2010)Using molecular dynamics simulations the transport properties of a model nanoparticle in solution are studied. In bulk solvent the translational diffusion coefficients are in good agreement with previous simulation and ... -
Molecular structure and phase behaviour of hairy-rod polymers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)Using dissipative particle dynamics simulations the relationship between molecular architecture and phase behaviour in model hairy-rod polymers is studied. In agreement with experimental and theoretical studies the phase ... -
Monitoring cell culture media degradation using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy
(Elsevier (Science Direct), 2014-06-13)The quality of the cell culture media used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing is a crucial factor affecting bioprocess performance and the quality of the final product. Due to their complex composition these media are ... -
Monitoring local unfolding of bovine serum albumin during denaturation using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy
(Springer, 2010-03)In a previous report (J. Fluoresc. 16, 153, 2006) we studied the chaotropiclly induced denaturation of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) using the fluorescence decay kinetics at different stages in the denaturation of BSA by ... -
Monstrous and Generalized Moonshine and Permutation Orbifolds
(2008)We consider the application of permutation orbifold constructions towards a new possible understanding of the genus zero property in Monstrous and Generalized Moonshine. We describe a theory of twisted Hecke operators in ... -
Monte Carlo commissioning of clinical electron beams using large field measurements
(Institute Of Physics (IOP Publishing), 2010-07-21)Monte Carlo simulation can accurately calculate electron fluence at the patient surface and the resultant dose deposition if the initial source electron beam and linear accelerator treatment head geometry parameters are ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of liquid crystals between microstructured substrates
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)The structure of a model liquid crystalline fluid confined between two microstructured substrates is studied through Monte Carlo simulations. A simple model for a structured substrate, similar in spirit to those used for ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of liquid crystals near rough walls
(American Institute of Physics, 2005-02-15)The effect of surface roughness on the structure of liquid crystalline fluids near solid substrates is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. The liquid crystal is modeled as a fluid of soft ellipsoidal molecules and the ... -
Morphological transitions in polymer vesicles upon bilayer swelling with small hydrophobic molecules in water
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)We show that when unilamellar polymer vesicles dispersed in water made from a blockcopolymer, in this case poly((ethylene oxide)45-block-(methyl methacrylate)164), poly((ethylene oxide)45-block-(methyl methacrylate)170), ... -
The most powerful flaring activity from the NLSyl PMN J0948+0022
(Oxford University Press, 2015-01-21)We report on multifrequency observations performed during 2012 December-2013 August of the first narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy detected in gamma-rays, PMN J0948+0022 (z = 0.5846). A y -ray flare was observed by the Large ... -
Mrc1, Tof1 and Csm3 inhibit CAG·CTG repeat instability by at least two mechanisms
(Springer, 2008)Trinucleotide repeats frequently expand and contract in humans and model organisms. Protein factors that modulate this process have been found by candidate gene approaches or mutant screens for increased expansion ... -
Multi-attribute quality screening of immunoglobulin G using polarized Excitation Emission Matrix spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2019-12-10)Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is often used as a starting material for the production of functionalised antibodies, like Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs), PEGlyated-conjugates, or radioimmunoconjugates. The gross structural quality ... -
Multi-sector approximation method for arteries: the residual stresses of circumferential rings with non-trivial openings
(The Royal Society, 2019-07-24)The opening angle method is a popular choice in biomechanics to estimate residual stresses in arteries. Experimentally, it means that an artery is cut into rings; then the rings are cut axially or radially allowing them ... -
Multiples of Pfister forms
(Elsevier, 2016-03-01)The isotropy of multiples of Pfister forms is studied. Some classical results are recalled and their consequences presented, with certain of these statements being previously known but hitherto unpublished. In particular, ... -
Multiplexed electrochemical cancer diagnostics with automated microfluidics
(Wiley, 2018-11-27)Microfluidic platforms can lead to miniaturisation, increased throughput and reduced reagent consumption, particularly when the processes are automated. Here, a programmable microcontroller is used for automation of a ... -
Multivalent carbohydrate-lectin interactions: the way synthetic chemistry enables insights into nanometric recognition
(MDPI Open Access, 2016-05-13)Glycan recognition by sugar receptors (lectins) is intimately involved in many aspects of cell physiology. However, the factors explaining the exquisite selectivity of their functional pairing are not yet fully understood. ... -
