Network diversity and maritime flows [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Transport Geography, 2013
Coupled and interdependent networks constitute a relatively recent research field that has been so far little invested by port and maritime specialists. The extent to which certain ports benefit from being connected to multiple commodity flows in the maritime network has in fact been poorly addressed.

A Modular Bioinstructive Platform Reveals Mechanistic Insights into Additive‐Free, Topography‐Driven Osteogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered microparticle topographies direct human mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis without biochemical additives. This osteogenic commitment is driven by canonical Hedgehog signaling and followed by temporal IGF‐II engagement. Two‐photon polymerization demonstrates spatial control, enabling the engineering of topographical gradients that pattern ...

Interception performance of intake structures with a flow diversion barrier under supercritical flow conditions

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics
Intake structures are commonly used in drainage systems to redirect surface rainfall runoff into underground tunnels. The Hong Kong West Drainage Tunnel (HKWDT) system is designed to capture stormwater from steep upland catchments during periods of heavy

The Trophic status of Bidighinzu Reservoir (Sardinia) before and after the diversion of waste waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The purpose of this paper was to assess the effect of the diversion of wastewater on the trophic status of Lake Bidighinzu, a hypertrophic man-made lake in Northern Sardinia, used as a drinking water reservoir.

Melt Electrowriting High Resolution Poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) Scaffolds for Soft Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...

Emergency Department Utilization and Capacity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Synthesizes research on who utilizes emergency departments, how often for non-urgent or preventable conditions and why, how cost-sharing affects utilization, and how utilization patterns affect hospital finances, overcrowding, and cost ...

Tuning the Testicular Microenvironment for Enhancing Human Sertoli Cells Maturation and Functionality In Vitro

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An in vitro testicular model is developed by generating connective tissue equivalents from human dermal fibroblast‐derived microtissues and coupling them with human Sertoli cells or human Sertoli cell spheroids. This engineered microenvironment supports Sertoli cell maturation and functionality, providing a promising platform for studying human ...

Enhanced Endoscopic Internal Drainage of Gastric Abscess Through Additively Manufactured Stents

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Postoperative gastric leaks are often treated with off‐label biliary double‐pigtail stents, yet conventional extruded designs are not optimized for leak anatomy, can migrate, and may limit abscess evacuation. PETALS is introduced to optimize transmural drainage geometry and enable patient‐specific 3D‐printable stents.

Numerical and experimental investigation on vortex control and sedimentation suppression in a Y-shaped diversion channel with circular inlet tanks

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics
A sudden angle change between the Y-shaped diversion channel and the inlet tank of the circular pump station often leads to boundary layer separation and large vortex formation.
