Physical aspects of cell culture substrates: topography, roughness, and elasticity.
The cellular environment impacts a myriad of cellular functions by providing signals that can modulate cell phenotype and function. Physical cues such as topography, roughness, gradients, and elasticity are of particular importance. Thus, synthetic substrates can be potentially useful tools for exploring the influence of the aforementioned physical properties on cellular function. Many micro- a...
متن کاملDetermination of surface roughness and topography of dental resin-based nanocomposites using AFM analysis.
The aim of this study was to determine surface roughness and topography of polished dental resin-based nanocomposites. Four representative dental resin-based nanocomposites were tested in the study: two nanohybrids (Filtek Z550 and Tetric EvoCeram) and two nanofilled (Filtek Ultimate Body and Filtek Ultimate Translucent); and two reference materials: one microfilled (Gradia Direct) and one micr...
متن کاملChallenges in Directional Antennas
Directional antennas have been proposed to improve the performance and capacity of Wireless MAC protocols for use in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). Such antennas focus their beams in the direction of their receiver, allowing more of the signal power to be used in the direction of the transmission and simultaneously reducing the interference in other directions. However, several challenges and...
متن کاملTowards roughness-based drag reduction in cross-flow dominated flows
April 10-15, 2016 Abstract Recent theoretical results are presented from our ongoing study investigating the distinct convective instability properties of the boundary-layer flow over rough rotating disks. In this study, radial anisotropic surface roughness (concentric grooves) is modelled using the partial-slip approach of Miklavčič & Wang (2004) and the surface-geometry approach of Yoon et. a...
