Ultrasound‐Triggered Gelation for Restoring Biomechanical Properties of Degenerated Functional Spinal Units

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an innovative approach to treating intervertebral disc degeneration using ultrasound‐triggered in situ hydrogel formation. Proof‐of‐concept experiments using optimized biomaterial and ultrasound parameters demonstrate partial restoration of biomechanical function and successful integration into degenerated disc tissue, offering a ...

Frequency distribution of naturally occurring arsenic leached from excavated rocks of Hokkaido Shinkansen tunnels between Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto and Oshamambe

open access: yesSoils and Foundations
Excavated rock produced during tunnel construction projects in volcanic areas and sedimentary rock of marine origin pose the potential hazard of introducing naturally occurring arsenic (As) into the surrounding soils and groundwater.

INVESTIGATING AN INNOVATIVE MODEL FOR DIMENSIONAL SEDIMENTARY ROCKS CHARACTERIZATION USING ACOUSTIC FREQUENCIES ANALYSIS DURING DRILLING

open access: yesRudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2018
Determining geomechanical characteristics of rocks plays a significant role in all consequent designing stages of geosciences. On the other hand, drilling is one of the considerable operations in primer phases of extracting rocks.

Infiltration of basinal fluids into high-grade basement, South Norway: sources and behaviour of waters and brines

open access: yes, 2003
Quartz veins hosted by the high-grade crystalline rocks of the Modum complex, Southern Norway, formed when basinal fluids from an overlying Palaeozoic foreland basin infiltrated the basement at temperatures of c.220degreesC (higher in the southernmost ...

Overcoming challenges in the classification of deep geothermal potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The geothermal community lacks a universal definition of deep geothermal systems. A minimum depth of 400 m is often assumed, with a further sub-classification into middle-deep geothermal systems for reservoirs found between 400 and 1000 m.

Controlling Intestinal Organoid Polarity using Synthetic Dynamic Hydrogels Decorated with Laminin‐Derived IKVAV Peptides

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Design rules are presented to control intestinal organoid polarity in fully synthetic hydrogels. The laminin‐derived IKVAV sequence is crucial to obtain correct intestinal organoid polarity. Increasing hydrogel dynamics further supports the growth of correctly polarized intestinal organoids, while a bulk level of stiffness (G’ ≈ 0.7 kPa) is crucial to ...

Dating the Sedimentary Protolith of the Daldyn Group Quartzite, Anabar Shield, Russia: New Detrital Zircon Constraints

open access: yesGeosciences, 2020
Quartzites and paragneisses of the Archean granulite series of the Anabar Shield (Siberian Craton, Russia) are described geochemically. The Sm-Nd isotope systematics of the rocks and the U-Pb age (SHRIMP II) and geochemistry of zircons from quartzites ...

Growth and form of the mound in Gale Crater, Mars: Slope wind enhanced erosion and transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Ancient sediments provide archives of climate and habitability on Mars. Gale Crater, the landing site for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), hosts a 5-km-high sedimentary mound (Mount Sharp/Aeolis Mons). Hypotheses for mound formation include evaporitic,
