Entrainment and motion of coarse particles in a shallow water stream down a steep slope
Christophe Ancey, Anthony Christopher Davison, Peter Frey
We investigate the entrainment, deposition and motion of coarse spherical particles within a turbulent shallow water stream down a steep slope. This is an idealization of bed-load transport in mountain streams. Earlier investigations have described this ki ...
Cambridge University Press2008Statistical description of sediment transport experiments
A longstanding problem in the study of sediment transport in gravel-bed rivers is related to the physical mechanisms governing bed resistance and particle motion. To study this problem, we investigated the motion of coarse spherical glass beads entrained b ...

Protein aggregation is an established pathogenic mechanism in Alzheimer's disease, but little is known about the initiation of this process in vivo. Intracerebral injection of dilute, amyloid-beta (A beta)-containing brain extracts from humans with Alzheim ...

Florian Maria Wurm, Peter Frey
In tissue engineering, degradable or non-degradable polymer matrices can act as cell-carrier-scaffolds. Cell adhesion and growth on these scaffolds can be promoted by immobilizing extracellular matrix proteins. Therefore, in this study, polymer poly(ethyle ...

OBJECTIVES: Tissue engineering methods can be applied to regenerate diseased, or congenitally missing, urinary tract tissues. Urinary tract tissue cell cultures must be established in vitro and adequate matrices, acting as cell carriers, must be developed. ...
2002Functionalised polymers for tissue engineering
Methods for functionalising polymers for tissue engineering are disclosed in which a polymer matrix is activated to bind to biological materials such as cells by covalently bonding a hydrophilic polymer to carboxy groups of a polymer matrix. The hydrophili ...
