A qualitative and quantitative investigation of structural morphology in the neonatal ilium
… pelvic complex is non-load bearing, therefore, structural organisation of the ilium cannot reflect direct stance related forces. This study considers the cortical and trabecular bone structure in the ilium of the fetal and newborn infant, a structural configuration which until now has remained …

Running Economy: Improvements In Physiological Efficiency Attained Through Changes In Muscle Structural Morphology
Running Economy (RE) is a crucial determinant for running performance. While strategies for improving RE have been determined, the mechanisms governing this phenomenon have eluded the scientific community. My objective was to determine what adaptations, physiological, morphological, or otherwise, …

Nanophotonic split-ring resonators as dichroics for molecular spectroscopy
… spectroscopy. Through strict engineering of structural morphology, a nanometal’s free electrons can be tuned to resonate at a particular frequency, resulting in amplification and confinement of the electromagnetic field around certain areas of the structure. Molecules situated within these …

A comparative evaluation of manufacturing technologies and their effect on morphology and mechanical properties of poly-(propylene-ethylene) copolymers
… grades where evaluated to determine their structural morphology in relation to their physical and mechanical properties. For the ease of analysis, the grades are grouped into three ethylene content ranges; low ethylene contents (below 8%), medium ethylene contents (between 8 -10%) and high …

Fabrication and characterization of cellulose nanocrystal enhanced sustainable polymer nanocomposites through surface chemistry and processing
… The grafting efficiency and preservation of structural morphology and crystallinity of CNCs were evaluated. Acid anhydride and CDI methods were found to be the most applicable reagents to graft short and long chain aliphatic carbons, respectively. The hydrophobicity of grafted CNCs was …
