Estudo da permeabilidade e estrutura de solo-cal
A study of changes in perrneability and structure of a soil when stabilized with lime is the objective of this thesis. First, a bibliographic review is made on permeability of clay soils, and the modifications of physical soil properties due to lime treatment. A special permeameter was built which …

Hot Mix Asphalt Permeability: Tester Size Effects and Anisotropy
Permeability of hot mix asphalt (HMA) is a property that is important to the pavement's durability. Measuring permeability along with density will give a better indication of a pavement's durability than density alone. The presence of water for extended periods of time in the pavement is directly …

Computational studies on polyunsaturated fatty acid uptake and its effects on antimicrobial resistance
… cationic antimicrobial peptides. The FadL uptake study involved the atomistic level modelling of various FadL homologs found in virulent V. cholerae serotypes. Docking of equilibrated FadL homologs presented information on the binding energies and binding locations of each fatty acid tested for a …

Effects of basecourse saturation on flexible pavement performance.
… and provides a simple key for the comparative study of different aggregates and the assessment of rut depths in design applications. To assess the effects of dissipation on the magnitude of the dynamic pore water pressures in a pavement structure, a permeability study was carried out on …

Prediction of Physicochemical Properties For Fe3+ Chelating Agents
… (pKa, Fe3+ affinity, hydration and membrane permeability) predicted by means of quantitative structure property relationship (QSPR) methods, quantum mechanical (QM) calculations, and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. The pKa and Fe3+ affinity were also studied experimentally with a novel …

Evaluation of Novel Efflux Transport Inhibitor for the improvement of drug delivery through epithelial cell monolayer
… enhanced when administered with galaxolide. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of galaxolide on the permeation of curcumin through the epithelial cell monolayers. MDCKII-MDR1 cell monolayer is used an in vitro blood-brain barrier model while Caco-2 monolayer is used as an in …

Collagen Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering: The Relationship between Microstructure, Fluid Dynamics, Mechanics and Scaffold Deformation
… scaffolds, and the inter-relationships between permeability, scaffold structure, fluid pressure and scaffold deformation are of key importance. However, these relationships remain poorly understood. In this thesis, a series of isotropic collagen structures were produced using a freeze-drying …
