A comparison of the commoner material culture to that of the elite material culture at Great Zimbabwe
… found related to objects of power, such as stone walling and soapstone artefacts; these objects only being seen in the elite areas. This study offers a new perspective in the analysis of Great Zimbabwe, and the methodology could be used as a foundation for future studies of ancient civilizations …

More than the sum of parts: deconstructing tissues in their spatial, temporal, and environmental contexts
… remodel to inhibit TB spread at the expense of “walling out” immune cells. 3) Connecting disease to lifestyle exposures, I determined tobacco smoking increases TB risk via blood-to-lung migration of TB-permissive cells. 4) Intrigued by past stresses seeding future dysfunction, I studied similar …

An investigation of selected effects of environment on the dry rot fungus <i>Serpula Lacrimans </i>
… incorporating simulated flooring and plaster walling within glass tanks revealed differences in the appearances and patterns of colonisation by <i>S. lacrymans</i> depending upon whether aged or new materials were used. Treatments involving air drying by fans caused both a shrivelling and a …

Exploring Networks of Interaction at the Iron Age Site of Mtanye, South Western Zimbabwe
… show that Mtanye has hill occupation, stone walling and access to prestige goods, characteristics conventionally not ascribed to periphery sites. Further, the results of this study suggest that it is more prudent to view the socio-material development of Mtanye, not in terms of the political …

Nanotexturing for Biomedical Implants
… implants, such as breast implants, includes a “walling off” of the implant, or a capsule formation. Previously, texturing has been shown to reduce this capsule formation, using methods such as polyurethane coatings [11-15]. A new proposed texturing method is using electrospinning to produce …

The effect of helical carbon nanotubes on macrophage function
Occupational and environmental pulmonary exposure to carbon nanotubes (CNT) is considered to be a health risk with a very low threshold of tolerance as determined by the Center for Disease Control. Cell lines exposed to CNTs show a diverse range of adverse effects including reduced viability, …

Swelling, shrinkage and shear strength of unsaturated expansive clays
… to eliminate the effects of creep on the perspex walling of the inner chamber as pressures within the cell varied. Swell and consolidated drained tests were conducted on the soil samples. They were sheared after expansion had taken place, without expansion and without prior expansion or the use of …
