The effect of hyperosmolarity on fluid-phase and receptor-mediated endocytosis in P388D1 macrophages
… be internalized by either receptor-mediated or fluid-phase endocytosis. Receptor-mediated endocytosis involves the internalization of receptor-ligand complexes into coated vesicles of about 0.1 μm in diameter. The average diameter of primary pinocytic vesicles has been calculated to be 0.24 - …

Optimal transport strategies
… We here consider a number of natural fluid transport systems that may be framed in terms of constrained optimization problems. We first examine natural drinking strategies. We classify the drinking strategies of a broad range of creatures according to the principal forces involved, and …

Use of biological agents to enhance the preservative treatment of electrical distribution poles
… and assessed. Two methods were finally used: a fluid uptake and an air flow method. Both methods were used to demonstrate the ability of the isolates to improve the permeability of Scots pine and Sitka spruce material. <br/><br/>Two <i>Trichoderma</i> isolates showed a consistent ability to …

Hairy interfaces
… play an important role in water-repellency and uptake for a number of creatures. While the influence of chemistry and surface roughness on the wettability of surfaces has been studied extensively, little is known about the role of larger-scale objects such as hairs. This thesis is directed …
