Post-buckling development in soft particulate composites
(Elsevier, 2023-07-26)In this paper, we investigate the post-buckling development of instability-induced patterns in soft particulate composites. Upon reaching the critical strain level, the composite experiences microstructural buckling. ... -
The Poynting effect
(American Association of Physics Teachers, 2020-11-19)Intuition suggests that twisting a cylinder will shorten it, but here it is shown that for a cylinder of an incompressible material, like rubber, twisting will always produce elongation. -
Poynting effect of brain matter in torsion
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-06-13)We investigate experimentally and model theoretically the mechanical behaviour of brain matter in torsion. Using a strain-controlled rheometer, we perform torsion tests on fresh porcine brain samples. We quantify the torque ... -
Prediction of Cell Culture Media Performance Using Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(2010)Cell culture media used in industrial mammalian cell culture are complex aqueous solutions that are inherently difficult to analyze comprehensively. The analysis of media quality and variance is of utmost importance in ... -

Prediction of pK(a) values of nido-carboranes by density functional theory methods
(American Chemical Society, 2006-08-25)A great parallel exists between metal complexes of cyclopentadienyl and arene ligands on one side and metal complexes of the nido derivatives of the icosahedral o-carborane clusters. With few exceptions, the metal complexation ... -
Predictive random graph ranking on the web
(2006)The incomplete information about the Web structure causes inaccurate results of various ranking algorithms. In this paper, we propose a solution to this problem by formulating a new framework called, Predictive Random Graph ... -
Predictive ranking: a novel page ranking approach by estimating the web structure
(2005)PageRank (PR) is one of the most popular ways to rank web pages. However, as the Web continues to grow in volume, it is becoming more and more difficult to crawl all the available pages. As a result, the page ranks computed ... -
Premitotic Assembly of Human CENPs -T and -W Switches Centromeric Chromatin to a Mitotic State.
(2011)Centromeres are differentiated chromatin domains, present once per chromosome, that direct segregation of the genome in mitosis and meiosis by specifying assembly of the kinetochore. They are distinct genetic loci in that ... -
Prescribing patterns in growing tubular soft matter by initial residual stress
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-10-02)Initial residual stress is omnipresent in biological tissues and soft matter, and can affect growth-induced pattern selection significantly. Here we demonstrate this effect experimentally by letting soft tubes grow in the ... -
Probing sulfatide-tissue lectin recognition with functionalized glycodendrimersomes
(Cell Press, 2021-01-22)The small 3-O-sulfated galactose head group of sulfatides, an abundant glycosphingolipid class, poses the (sphinx-like) riddle on involvement of glycan bridging by tissue lectins (sugar code). First, synthesis of head group ... -
Probing the antagonistic effect of toluene as a component in surrogate fuel models at low temperatures and high pressures. A case study of toluene/dimethyl ether mixtures
(Elsevier, 2016-07-12)There is a dearth of experimental data which examine the fundamental low-temperature ignition (T < 900 K) behavior of toluene resulting in a lack of data for the construction, validation, and interpretation of chemical ... -
Probing the low-temperature chemistry of ethanol via the addition of dimethyl ether
(Elsevier, 2017-11-28)Considering the importance of ethanol (EtOH) as an engine fuel and a key component of surrogate fuels, the further understanding of its auto-ignition and oxidation characteristics at engine-relevant conditions (high pressures ... -
Processing and analysis of high temperature geothermal acoustic borehole image logs in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
(Elsevier, 2014-06-19)Acoustic borehole televiewer (BHTV) logs provide direct observations of lithology, structure and in-situ stress in reservoirs, essential for successful well targeting and field management. Analyses of BHTV logs acquired ... -
Program quality with pair programming in CS1
(2005)In several regression applications, a different structural relationship might be anticipated for the higher or lower responses than the average responses. In such cases, quantile regression analysis can uncover important ... -
Progressive Decoration of a Pentanuclear Cu(II) 12-Metallocrown-4 Towards Targeted 1- and 2-D Extended Networks
(RSC, 2013-07-05)The synthesis, structures and magnetic characterisation of a family of discrete planar pentanuclear Cu(II) 12-MC-4 metallacrowns of formulae [Cu5(L1)4(MeOH)4](ClO4)2 (1), [Cu5(L1)4(py)2](ClO4)2·py (2), [Cu5(L1)4(py)6](ClO4)2 ... -
Projected Range Contractions of European Protected Oceanic Montane Plant Communities: Focus on Climate Change Impacts Is Essential for Their Future Conservation
(PlosOne, 2014-04-21)Global climate is rapidly changing and while many studies have investigated the potential impacts of this on the distribution of montane plant species and communities, few have focused on those with oceanic montane affinities. ... -
Proper formulation of viscous dissipation for nonlinear waves in solids
(Acoustical Society of America, 2013-03)To model nonlinear viscous dissipative motions in solids, acoustical physicists usually add terms the material time derivative of the Lagrangian strain tensor E, to the elastic stress tensor; derived from the expansion to ...
