The rotating wall vessel is optimized for suspension culture, with laminar flow and adequate nutrient delivery, but minimal shear. However, higher shears may occur in vivo. During rotating wall vessel cultivation of human renal cells, size and density of glass-coated microcarrier beads were changed to modulate initial shear. Renal-specific proteins were assayed after 2 days. Flow cytometry anti...

A comprehensive three-dimensional (3-D) shape-based approach for quantification of regional myocardial deformations was evaluated in a canine model (n = 8 dogs) with the use of cine magnetic resonance imaging. The shape of the endocardial and epicardial surfaces was used to track the 3-D trajectories of a dense field of points over the cardiac cycle. The shape-based surface displacements are in...

A new three-dimensional unit cell model has been developed for modeling three constituent phases including inclusion, interphase and matrix. The total elastic modulus of nano-composite is evaluated.  Numerical results are in good agreement with the previous proposed theoretical modeling. Higher matrix and inclusion elastic modulus both can dramatically influence the total elastic modulus.

Plutons in crustal shear zones may exploit inherited structures, interfere with strain localizing or be deformed passively. To constrain the relative timing of such tectono-magmatic relationships natural settings is not always straight-forward. We here present sandbox-type analogue model experiments simulating magma emplacement into simple and transtensional to test diagnostic potential pluton ...

Existing landscape features, such as field boundary hedgerows, can contribute to food, fodder, material, and energy production for an EU bio-based circular economy. Recent trials undertaken by the project team in UK demonstrated that hedgerows be managed produce woodfuel of a quality meets industry standards. However, attractive farmers, from must profitable. This paper uses FarmSAFE model unde...

polymer-clay nano-composite materials, in which nano-meter thick layers of clay dispersed in polymer matrix, have generally higher mechanical properties than normal polymeric materials. a new three-dimensional unit cell model has been developed for modeling three constituent phases including inclusion, interphase and matrix. the total elastic modulus of nano-composite is evaluated.  numerical r...

High-spin states of neutron deficient Trans-Lead nucleus $^{204}$At were populated up to $\sim 8\,{\rm MeV}$ excitation through the $^{12}$C + $^{197}$Au fusion evaporation reaction. Decay associated levels prompt and delayed $\gamma$-ray emissions studied evaluate underlying nuclear structure. The level scheme, which was partly known, extended further. An isomeric $16^+$ with observed lifetime...

Abstract This study examines processes fundamental to the development of South Asian monsoon depressions using an array integrations idealized convection-permitting numerical model. In each integration, a wave initially small amplitude is subjected different amount vertical and meridional wind shear, with temperature moisture fields constructed according realistic constraints. Based on evolutio...

In the crucial region of Yermak Plateau where warm Atlantic water enters Arctic ocean, we examined high frequency variations in Pass Branch over a 34 months-long mooring data set. The was ice covered only half time with ice-free periods both summer and winter. We investigated contribution residual tidal currents to low flow Water (AW) velocity shears possibly associated internal waves. High res...
