Purification and Characterization of Proteoglycan from Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells Conditioned Media, and its Interaction with Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF)
Cultured bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells were found to synthesize and secrete heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG), which bound basic fibrobalst growth factor (bFGF). bFGF is a known mitogen for vascular smooth muscle cells, and is indicated to have a role in some proliferative vascular …

Approximation errors in nonstationary inverse problems
… called the Bayesian approximation error (BAE) has been shown to be able to handle highly approximate models. In the BAE approach, the approximation errors (AEs) of the approximate models are modelled through sampling, based on the state evolution model. The approach has previously been …

DEVELOPMENT OF LASER MICRO-FABRICATED SURFACES TO ACCELERATE & ENHANCE ENDOTHELIAL CELL ADHESION AND PROLIFERATION
… accelerate and enhance bovine aorta endothelium (BAE-1) cell adhesion and proliferation. The response of BAE-1 and human coronary smooth muscle cells (HCASMCs) were studied, including cell adhesion, proliferation, β-actin expression, migration velocity, and migration directionality. The laser used …

Investigations of Insulin-Like Growth Factor I Cell Surface Binding: Regulation by Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 and Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan
… inhibited IGF-I Bovine Aortic Endothelial (BAE) cell surface binding while p9 HS slightly increased IGF-I BAE cell surface binding. IGFBP-3 has a higher binding affinity for IGF-I (3 x 10-9 M) than p9 HS has for IGF-I (1.5 x 10-8 M) as determined with cell-free binding assays. The presence …

Fundamental properties of borate-modified oriented strandboard manufactured from southern wood species
… up to a 3.5 percent boric acid equivalent (BAE) level, ZB and CB showed a negative effect on the bending and internal bond (IB) strength. Thickness swelling (TS) of treated panels after 24-hour water soaking increased with borate level. ZB-treated OSB displayed less TS than CB-treated OSB at …

Characterization of Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 (IGFBP-3) interaction with the Bovine Aortic Endothelial (BAE) cell surface: Examination of the Role of Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans (HSPG)
… of IGFBP-3 to bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells. Binding studies at 4 <sup>o</sup>C were conducted and a specific binding curve for IGFBP-3 was obtained. IGFBP-3 was found to bind with an equilibrium dissociation constant (K<sub>D</sub>) value of 3.1 x 10<sup>-10</sup> M. The role of …

Evaluating the use of laser processing and polishing techniques to generate micro-patterned surfaces for controlling fibroblast cell behaviour
… fibroblast (LL24) and bovine aorta endothelium (BAE-1) cell behaviours. The cells ability to adhere, proliferate and migrate were studied through the use of MTT assays and live cell tracking. Laser processing in a directional manner resulted in polyurethane surfaces having a ploughed field effect …

Investigation of thermal electric cooler-less microbolometer infrared imaging
The current IR imaging modules developed by BAE SYSTEMS North America use a Thermal Electric Cooler (TEC) to stabilize the Focal Plane Array (FPA). An FPA is an array of microbolometers which are small vanadium oxide elements whose resistances are very sensitive to IR radiation. The ability to run …

Approaches to Multiscale Inverse Problems
… by applying the Bayesian approximation error (BAE) approach to marginalise over small scale effects and discretisation errors we are able to substantially reduce the dimension of the problem while maintaining accurate estimates. Moreover, we show that by applying a feature extraction type …

Model Uncertainties and Joint Inversion in Geophysics
… the so-called Bayesian Approximation Error (BAE) approach has shown that feasible likelihood models are typically non-trivial. In this thesis, we use the BAE approach to construct feasible likelihood models for the case of di erent data types and jointly correlated parameters. We show that …

Microstructure and mechanical properties of cold drawn steel wires
… are still controversial. As Y.S. Yang, J.G. Bae and C.G. Park mentioned, the lamellar spacing, thickness and volume fraction of cementites have all reached the nanometer regime, and the conventional theory is not enough to explain it. Besides, the cementite dissolution is a huge problem to …
