BCN nanotubes as highly sensitive torsional electromechanical transducers.

Nano letters

Garel J, Zhao C, Popovitz-Biro R, Golberg D, Wang W, Joselevich E.
PMID: 25275220
Nano Lett. 2014 Nov 12;14(11):6132-7. doi: 10.1021/nl502161h. Epub 2014 Oct 02.

Owing to their mechanically tunable electronic properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely studied as potential components for nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS); however, the mechanical properties of multiwall CNTs are often limited by the weak shear interactions between the graphitic...

The current study examined the moderating effects of smoking amount per day on the relation between anxiety sensitivity and nicotine dependence, cigarette smoking outcome expectancies, and reasons for quitting smoking among 465 adult, treatment-seeking smokers (48% female; M

Detecting the Hidden Properties of Immunological Data and Predicting the Mortality Risks of Infectious Syndromes.

Front Immunol. 2016 Jun 10;7:217. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2016.00217. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: To extract more information, the properties of infectious disease data, including hidden relationships, could be considered. Here, blood leukocyte data were explored to elucidate whether hidden information, if uncovered, could forecast mortality.METHODS: Three sets of individuals (n =...

Relationship between anatomical skin site and response to halcinonide and methyl nicotinate studied by bioengineering techniques.

PMID: 27333492
Skin Res Technol. 1997 Aug;3(3):161-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0846.1997.tb00181.x.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Regional differences in percutaneous penetration and skin properties are well documented. However, only a few studies have investigated the relationship between substance penetration and specific skin characteristics in function of the body region. It was our aim to...

Friction through reversible jumps of surface atoms.

Journal of physics. Condensed matter : an Institute of Physics journal

Fajardo OY, Barel I, Urbakh M.
PMID: 24935740
J Phys Condens Matter. 2014 Aug 06;26(31):315005. doi: 10.1088/0953-8984/26/31/315005. Epub 2014 Jun 17.

We propose a microscopic model that incorporates the effect of thermally activated motion of surface atoms on nanoscopic friction. Our calculations demonstrate that the stick-slip motion of the tip is governed by two competing processes: (i) jumps of the...

The role of curvature anisotropy in the ordering of spheres on an ellipsoid.

Soft matter

Burke CJ, Mbanga BL, Wei Z, Spicer PT, Atherton TJ.
PMID: 26107404
Soft Matter. 2015 Aug 07;11(29):5872-82. doi: 10.1039/c5sm01118c.

Non-spherical emulsion droplets can be stabilized by densely packed colloidal particles adsorbed at their surface. In order to understand the microstructure of these surface packings, the ordering of hard spheres on ellipsoidal surfaces is determined through large scale computer...

Assessing the repair of critical size bone defects performed in a goat tibia model using tissue-engineered constructs cultured in a bidirectional flow perfusion bioreactor.

Journal of biomaterials applications

Gardel L, Afonso M, Frias C, Gomes M, Reis R.
PMID: 24413026
J Biomater Appl. 2014 Aug;29(2):172-185. doi: 10.1177/0885328213519351. Epub 2014 Jan 09.

This work evaluated in vivo performance of a tissue-engineered bone-like matrix obtained by culturing cell-scaffold constructs in a flow perfusion bioreactor, designed to enable culture of large constructs, envisioning the regeneration of critical-sized defects. A blend of starch with...

The care continuum in acromegaly: how patients, nurses, and physicians can collaborate for successful treatment experiences.

Patient preference and adherence

Plunkett C, Barkan AL.
PMID: 26251582
Patient Prefer Adherence. 2015 Jul 30;9:1093-9. doi: 10.2147/PPA.S84887. eCollection 2015.

Patients with acromegaly (a condition of chronic growth hormone hypersecretion by a pituitary adenoma) often require pharmacological treatment. Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) such as pasireotide, lanreotide, and octreotide are frequently used as first-line medical therapy. As SSAs are delivered by...

Nonvisualization of the gallbladder during the second trimester of pregnancy should prompt concern for biliary atresia. A normal-sized gallbladder with irregular and crenelated wall associated with a cyst of the extrahepatic tract should raise concern for cystic biliary atresia.

We propose a model for a description of dynamics of cracklike processes that occur at the interface between two blocks prior to the onset of frictional motion. We find that the onset of sliding is preceded by well-defined detachment...
