A Novel Murine Model for Studying Impaired Wound Healing in Diabetes. [PDF]
Int Wound JABSTRACT A lack of murine models that mimic impaired wound healing in people with type 2 diabetes has hindered research. The commonly used leptin‐receptor knockout model (db/db) fails to accurately reflect the pathophysiology of human disease. This study aimed: (i) to investigate whether our novel murine model of diabetes, whilst less hyperglycaemic ...

Measuring very negative water potentials with polymer tensiometers: principles, performance and applications [PDF]
, 2009 In recent years, a polymer tensiometer (POT) was developed and tested to directly measure matric potentials in dry soils. By extending the measurement range to wilting point (a 20-fold increase compared to conventional, water-filled tensiometers), a ...

Pendant drop tensiometry: A machine learning approach [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2020 Modern pendant drop tensiometry relies on the numerical solution of the Young–Laplace equation and allows us to determine the surface tension from a single picture of a pendant drop with high precision. Most of these techniques solve the Young–Laplace equation many times over to find the material parameters that provide a fit to a supplied image of a ...
