PROBING INTRACELLULAR ELASTICITY WITH MINIMAL-HESSIAN REGISTRATION

We propose an image-based elastography method to measure the heterogeneous stiffness inside a cell and its nucleus. It uses a widely accessible setup consisting of plate compression imaged with fluorescence microscopy. Our framework recovers a spatial map ...

Planar hydraulic fracture growth perpendicular to the isotropy plane in a transversely isotropic material

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia, Fatima-Ezzahra Moukhtari

The configuration of a hydraulic fracture (HF) propagating perpendicular to the isotropy plane of a transversely isotropic (TI) material is encountered in most sedimentary basins. We account for both elastic and fracture toughness anisotropy, and investiga ...

Microstructural modelling of autogenous shrinkage in Portland cement paste at early age

Shashank Bishnoi

Purpose This paper aims to develop a numerical, micromechanical model to predict the evolution of autogenous shrinkage of hydrating cement paste at early age (up to 7 days). Autogeneous shrinkage can be important in high-performance concrete characterized ...

Understanding the effects of material properties and operating conditions on component aging in polymer electrolyte water electrolyzers

Ugljesa Babic, Mohamed Tarik, Thomas Justus Schmidt

If polymer electrolyte water electrolysis (PEWE) is to penetrate the energy market in the context of power-to-x, challenges related to component durability need to be understood and addressed. In this study, PEWE component degradation mechanisms are induce ...

Hierarchically Patterned Polydopamine-Containing Membranes for Periodontal Tissue Engineering

Nako Nakatsuka, Song Li

Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease that affects tooth-supporting tissues. We engineer a multifunctional periodontal membrane for the guided tissue regeneration of lost periodontal tissues. The major drawback of current periodontal membr ...

A review of the concepts, recent advances and niche applications of the (photo) Fenton process, beyond water/wastewater treatment: Surface functionalization, biomass treatment, combatting cancer and other medical uses

Stefanos Giannakis

The Fenton reaction was discovered over 120 years ago, yet our understanding of the complete reaction mechanism of the seemingly simple iron and hydrogen peroxide reaction (Fe + H2O2) remains unclear, thus limiting its full potential. In this work, the aim ...

Curable filler material for tubular structures

Andreas Schmocker

A radiopaque composition with low viscosity and increased photopolymerizability for application or filling of hollow structures is disclosed. Moreover, a method to apply and monitor the application and/or the photopolymerization of the composition are pres ...

Impact of the anisotropy of fracture toughness on the propagation of planar 3D hydraulic fracture

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Haseeb Zia, Weihan Zhang

Sedimentary rocks often exhibit a transverse isotropy due to fine scale layering. We investigate the effect of the anisotropy of fracture toughness on the propagation of a planar 3D hydraulic fracture perpendicular to the isotropy plane: a configuration co ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of the intrinsically disordered protein amelogenin

John Christopher Plummer, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Alessandra Apicella, Vincenzo Colangelo

Amelogenin refers to a class of intrinsically disordered proteins that are the major constituents of enamel matrix derivative (EMD), an extract of porcine fetal teeth used in regenerative periodontal therapy. Modifications in molecular conformation induced ...

Strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium carbonate as templates for the precipitation of calcium-phosphates in the absence and presence of fluoride

Janet Gordon Hering, Michèle Bernadette Heeb

The heterogeneous precipitation of calcium phosphates on calcium hydroxyapariLe (Ca-10(PO4)(4)OH)(2) or HAP) in the presence arid absence of fluoride is important in the formation of bone and teeth, protection against tooth decay, dental and skeletal fluor ...
