Current polyvinylpyrrolidone-modified polysulfone (PVP-PSU) membranes in haemodialysers do not facilitate the attachment and proliferation of renal proximal tubule cells (RPTCs) For bioartificial kidney (BAK) development expensive extracellular matrices ar ...
Robots capable of hover flight in constrained indoor environments have many applications, however their range is constrained by the high energetic cost of airborne locomotion. Perching allows flying robots to scan their environment without the need to rema ...
Chute aerators protect spillways from cavitation damage. Several parameters affect their efficiency, which were intensively discussed in literature. One implicit parameter is the cavity jet impact angle at the re-attachment point of the flow on the chute b ...
Microtubules assume a variety of structures throughout the different stages of the cell cycle. Ensuring the correct assembly of such structures is essential to guarantee cell division. During mitosis, it is well established that the spindle assembly checkp ...
Biofouling is defined by the non-specific attachment of biological material (proteins, carbohydrates, prokaryotic cells and higher organisms) to surfaces upon their exposure to any biological fluid. Biofouling is a serious problem in many areas ranging fro ...
Studying proteins in living cells generally requires the construction of a fusion protein between the protein of interest and an appropriate tag. Currently used fusion protein-based assays rely on the genetically encoded properties of the tag, which signif ...
Capture numbers are used in models of nucleation and growth on surfaces, and have been widely applied to predict nucleation densities and other quantities via rate equations. In conventional nucleation theory, much effort has historically been expended on ...
Attachment-induced ionization instability has been experimentally observed in O-2 and CF4 capacitive RF discharges using time-resolved voltage probe, Langmuir probe, optical emission and mass spectrometry measurements. This instability occurs under specifi ...
The fluctuating behavior of a Sulzer Metco F4 de plasma gun has been investigated by simultaneous measurement of the:time dependencies of the are voltage and of images from the nozzle interior. An end-on imaging arrangement using a mirror and a mask in the ...
Numerous synthetic fluorophores have been developed that can switch their spectroscopic properties upon interaction with other molecules or by irradiation with light. In recent years, protein-labeling techniques have been introduced that permit the specifi ...
