The effect of scaffold structure and biologic factors on bone regeneration in cap-based scaffolds measured using machine learning
… has shown that these micropores create a capillary effect and, with the macropores, pull in fluid from the defect at implantation, encouraging bone regeneration. There is a limited understanding in the effect of different components of the defect fluid (cells and serum) and extracellular …

Fibre optic sensing techniques for the detection of lead (II) ions
Lead is an element with harmful effects to man and whose uses are being increasingly subject to legislations. This thesis describes the incorporation of two lead-sensitive reagents in different fibre optic sensing configurations. The reagents were carefully selected for their response towards lead. …

The development of a quick dry fabric for outdoors garments
… so as to maintain and transfer moisture by capillary effect in order to be used for moisture management textiles. To achieve this a mathematical model to study the moisture transfer process was created and simulated results based on knitted spacer fabric with a construction of 2 tucks and 2 …

Fabrication of Thermal Management Devices using Thermal Spray Technology
… was varied. The model was used to examine the effect of fin radius and coating thickness on fin efficiency. A flat copper vapor chamber was fabricated by depositing structured porous coatings on the evaporator using flame spraying. The porous copper coatings act as wicks of the vapor chamber …

Plasmonic Paper as a Novel Chem/Bio Detection Platform
… properties of cellulose paper and shape-enhanced capillary effect. Plasmonic paper can also serve as a novel LSPR biosensing platform by decorating the paper substrate with biofunctionalized nanostructures. Furthermore, calligraphy approach was employed to create well-isolated test domains on …

Influence of ultrasonic cavitation treatment on fragmentation and de-agglomeration of primary intermetallics and oxides formed in Al alloys
… the scientific community with the remarkable effects that it produces during its application in fields ranging from automotive, aerospace, military, construction to even medical (therapeutics) and food sector. One such prevalent and industrially accepted processing technique is ultrasonic melt …

Science of Nanofluidics and Energy Conversion
… which an intensive impact or blast energy can be effectively mitigated based on a nonwetting liquid-nanoporous material system. The captured energy is stored in nanopores in the form of potential energy of intercalated water molecules for a while, and not necessarily converted to other forms of …

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Grain Boundary Mobilities in Metallic and Oxide Fuels
… cylindrical grain method, which uses the capillary effect induced by the GB curvature to drive grain growth. The mobilities are calculated for different rotation axes, misorientation angles, and temperatures in these systems. The results indicated that the density of the atomic plane …
