While the role of hemodynamic variables on the development of intimal hyperplasia in arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis has been examined, less is known about the intramural biomechanical factors. In this study, arteriovenous fistulas were created by ...
Collagen type I displays a typical banding periodicity of 67 nm when visualized by atomic force or transmission electron microscopy imaging. We have investigated collagen fibers extracted from rat tail tendons using atomic force microscopy, under different ...
We have studied the capabilities of chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) to produce high-gain media for long-wavelength (1.5 mu m) vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). Using a parameter pair of low growth temperature and small V/III ratio the integrati ...
The X-ray polarization anisotropy of anomalous scattering in crystals of brominated nucleic acids and selenated proteins is shown to have significant effects on the diffraction data collected at an absorption edge. For conventionally collected single- or mu ...
Interstitial fluid flow, critical for macromolecular transport, was recently shown to drive fibroblast differentiation and perpendicular cell and matrix alignment in 3D collagen cultures. Here we explore the mechanisms underlying this flow-induced cell and ...
Mu-33, a new layered aluminophosphate with an Al/P ratio of 0.66, was obtained from a quasi non-aqueous synthesis in which tert-butylformamide (tBF) was the main solvent and only limited amounts of water were present. During the synthesis, tBF decomposed a ...
Following the seminal work of Von Dreele, high quality powder X-ray diffraction studies on proteins are being established as a valuable complementary technique to single-crystal measurements. Several studies using a variety of experiments approaches have b ...
It has been proposed in the literature, based on theoretical considerations and on finite-element calculations, that all three stress tensor invariants govern the yield surface of cellular materials. Recent experiments on 75 gm pore size aluminium replicat ...
Nanoscale structural analyses of biomineralized materials can frequently help elucidate important structure-function relationships in these complex organic-inorganic composites. Atomic force microscope (AFM) imaging of the exterior surface of trabecular bo ...
Optical mode crossing is not a plausible explanation for the new broad Brillouin doublet nor for the strong acoustic anomalies observed at low temperatures in SrTiO3. Data presented to support that explanation are also inconclusive. ...
