Single crystal L-amino acids can exhibit technologically useful piezoelectric and nonlinear optical properties. Here we predict, using density functional theory, the piezoelectric charge and strain and voltage tensors of ...

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide but targeted therapies have proven to be very successful in the treatment of this disease. The aim of this study was to develop models and parameters that will ...

The aim of this study was to develop a 3D printable radiopaque ink and successfully print a finished artifact. Radiopaque 3D printing would be hugely beneficial to improve the visibility of medical devices and implants, ...

This paper considers and presents the design of a rail-to-rail input and output CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) two-stage operational amplifier (op-amp). The design uses two capacitance based compensation ...

The purpose of this study was to use the Taguchi Design of Experiments approach to investigate the effects of five risk factors on ratings of shoulder discomfort in a single study. The development of shoulder MusculoSkeletal ...

The problem of fast viscous steady Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a rectangular enclosure is revisited using asymptotic and numerical methods. There are two generic cases: in the first, there is zero shear stress at all ...

Since theworld economy has been confronted with an increasing risk of supply shortages of critical rawmaterials (CRMs), there has been a major interest in identifying alternative secondary sources of CRMs. Bauxite residues ...

The valorisation of readily available and abundant lignocellulosic derived hexose carbohydrates by reaction with ethanol can provide an alternative to petroleum derived fossil fuels. The main barrier in effectively doing ...

This article describes the theoretical development and design of a real-time microcirculation imaging system, an extension from a previously technology developed by our group. The technology utilises polarisation spectroscopy, ...
