Experimental Measurement of the Utricle's Dynamic Response and the Mechanoelectrical Characterization of a Micron-Sized DIB
… design is a droplet interface bilayer (DIB). A DIB is a lipid bilayer that is formed when the interface of two aqueous droplets, that contain free-floating lipids, are joined. The aqueous droplets are suspended in a nonpolar environment (oil) and the oil/water interface forms a lipid …

Droplet Interface Bilayers for Mechano-Electrical Transduction Featuring Bacterial MscL Channels
… incorporated within a droplet interface bilayer (DIB). The activity of MscL channels in an artificial DIB system is demonstrated for the first time in this document. The DIB represents a building block whose repetition can form the basis to a new class of smart materials. The corresponding …

Geometry optimization of dry ice blasting nozzle for the noise reduction using experimental validation
… on the negative side of dry ice blasting (DIB), it produces a high noise exposure. The noise exposure during a high blasting pressure may reach up to 130 dB which is considered a harmful noise level (standard 90 dB for eight working hours per day). At present, safety measures are taken …

Physical Encapsulation of Interface Bilayers
… builds on the droplet interface bilayer (DIB) platform which first demonstrated that, through self-assembly, lipid-encased water droplets submersed in oil can be physically connected to form a liquid-supported lipid bilayer at the droplet interface. Key advantages of the DIB method over …

Engineering synthetic biology routes for protein analysis using microfluidic systems
… the miniaturisation of dropletinterface-bilayer (DIB) techniques. The platform uses a microfluidic design that enables formation, alternation, controlled positioning and long-term storage of arrays of droplet-interface-bilayers (DIBs) to mimic cell membrane processes. By encapsulating the desired …

Cultural conflict : attitudes of Arabic high school students toward cultural adaptation in an educational setting
The purpose of this study was to determine if Arabic students from one community differed in their attitudes toward cultural assimilation based on grade level, length of time in the United States, gender, and academic performance in high school. A total of 216 Arabic high school students in grades …

Turbulence and structure formation in the interstellar medium
The interstellar medium (ISM) structure and dynamics are the result of the interplay between many physical processes such as turbulence, gravity, thermal processes, magnetic fields and cosmic rays which determine the modes of molecular cloud and star formation, and which in turn, define the global …

Modified ldh-supported au catalystssynthesis, characterization and catalytic performances in furfural liquid phase oxidation and hydrogenation
This thesis focuses on the valorization of furfural, a biomass-derived compound, via oxidation and hydrogenation reactions. Thus, for the mentioned transformations in the previous sentence, gold-modified LDH-based catalysts were prepared: MgAlZr-LDH for oxidation and NiAlZr- LDH for hydrogenation. …

Design for speculation : volatile, temporal, in-transit
The thesis project is a reaction to the alarming rate of building and development depreciation caused by foreign investment in the Middle Eastern city of Dubai. The intervention looks at how architects, developers, and planners can counteract this phenomenon by designing for speculation in order to …
