Biochemical characterization of a novel iron-sulfur flavoprotein from Methanosarcina thermophila strain TM-1
The iron-sulfur flavoprotein (Isf) from the acetate utilizing methanoarchaeon Methanosarcina thermophila was heterologously produced in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity, and characterized to determine the properties of the iron-sulfur cluster and FMN. Chemical and spectroscopic analyses …

The mechanics of incremental sheet forming
Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a flexible process where an indenter moves over the surface of a sheet of metal to form a 3D shell incrementally by a progression of localised deformation. Despite extensive research into the process, the deformation mechanics is not fully understood. This thesis …

Suppression of T-Helper Cell Function by a Soluble Immunosuppressive Factor From Plasmodium Berghei Infected Rat Erythrocytes
… Mice treated with the immunosuppressive factor (ISF) and then immunized with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) had a reduced number of plaque forming cells (PFC) as compared to mice injected with control preparations. The delayed type hypersensitivity reaction elicited by SRBC was also suppressed in …

Needle-free interstitial fluid acquisition using a Lorentz-force actuated jet injector
Interstitial fluid (ISF) provides information on a patient's health as it contains regulatory molecules that are correlated with disease-related processes. However, current ISF acquisition techniques can be slow, resulting in patient discomfort and erroneous measurements. This thesis presents a …

Acoustics and manufacture of Caribbean steelpans
… technology termed Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) is applied to the production of miniature steelpan dishes. The thickness distribution in the wall of the ISF dishes is compared to the wall thickness distribution in a traditionally formed steelpan dish and a wheeled dish. Unlike traditional …

Experimental study of applying grooves on semi-tubular blank sheet metal using incremental sheet forming.
Incremental sheet forming (ISF) was a flexible sheet metal forming process which utilized a variety of forming tools, materials, and dies. ISF was implemented to develop a series of column covers which visually replicated the style of Doric columns. They were produced experimentally out of …

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy options for proton exchange membrane fuel cell diagnostics
… the concept of impedance spectral fingerprints (ISF) to uniquely identify between failure modes in an operating PEMFC. Three well documented PEMFC failure modes, carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, dehydration, and flooding were surveyed, modelled, and simulated in the time domain and the results …

Synthesis and Optical Characterisation of Diphenylhexatriene Derived Intramolecular Singlet Fission Materials
… chromophore, intramolecular singlet fission (iSF) can generate two triplet states upon a single molecule. The singlet fission properties of the molecule can be tailored by synthetic engineering of the interchromophore connectivity. Only a modest sub-set of the chromophores that have been …

Diffusion of light adsorbates on transition metal surfaces
… the classical intermediate scattering function (ISF) are introduced for open and closed systems. The effects of corrugation and surface-perpendicular motion on the amplitude of different components in the ISF are modelled analytically and compared with simulation. The exact ISF for a particle on …

Mechanisms of Brain Region-Specific Amyloid-beta Deposition
… reduction of soluble interstitial fluid: ISF) Aβ levels was associated with a dramatic reduction in amyloid plaque formation and growth. We found that ISF Aβ concentrations in several brain regions of APP transgenic mice prior to the onset of plaque deposition were proportional …

Macrophage-mediated regulation of joint homeostasis
… BMNC to normal (SF) and inflamed synovial fluid (ISF). BMNC cultured in autologous SF or ISF developed into macrophage cultures that were more confluent in ISF (~100%) than SF (~25%), and exhibited phenotypes that were ultimately similar to cells native to normal joints. BMNC cultured in SF or ISF …
