Proposed Modifications to ACI 318-95 Tension Development and Lap Splice for High-Strength Concrete
(American Concrete Institute, 1999-11-01)Safety concerns and a lack of test data are responsible for the current upper limit of 100 psi on the square root of the concrete compressive strength for use in calculating tension development and lap splice lengths. Based ... -
Effect of mucoprotein on the bond strength of resin composite to human dentin
(Springer Verlag, 2011-07)The purpose of this study was to test the bond strength and analyze the morphology of the dentin-adhesive interface of two etch and rinse and two self-etch adhesive systems with two kinds of artificial saliva (with and ... -
Bond strength of adhesives to dentin contaminated with smoker’s saliva
(Springer Verlag, 2010-02)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of contamination with smoker’s and non-smoker’s saliva on the bond strength of resin composite to superficial dentin using different adhesive systems. The interfacial ... -
Stem cell secretome-rich nanoclay hydrogel: a dual action therapy for cardiovascular regeneration†
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-03-31)A nanocomposite hydrogel with photocrosslinkable micro-porous networks and a nanoclay component was successfully prepared to control the release of growth factor-rich stem cell secretome. The proven pro-angiogenic and ... -
Anchorage Strength of Standard Hooked Bars in Simulated Exterior Beam-Column Joints
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2017-04)The current ACI hooked bar design provisions are based on test results of 38 simulated beam-column joints containing two hooked bars. The provisions address the effects of hooked bar surface condition, concrete cover, ... -
Anchorage Strength of Reinforcing Bars With Standard Hooks
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2017-04)Hooked bars are often used to anchor reinforcing steel where concrete dimensions are not sufficient to provide the required development length for straight reinforcement, such as in external beam-column joints. The purpose ... -
Nanocomposite hydrogels: an emerging biomimetic platform for myocardial therapy and tissue engineering
(Future Medicine, 2015-05)Recent years have seen a significant rise in patient survival rate after myocardial infarction, commonly known as heart attack. This is mainly due to improvement in hospital instrument facilities, clinical management system, ... -
Fiber Laser Based Two-Photon FRET Measurement of Calmodulin and mCherry-E0GFP Proteins
(Wiley, 2012-06)The speed and accuracy of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) measurements can be improved by rapidly alternating excitation wavelengths between the donor and acceptor fluorophore. We demonstrate FRET efficiency ... -
Subcritical CO2 Sintering of Microspheres of Different Polymeric Materials to Fabricate Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
(Elsevier, 2013-12-01)The aim of this study was to use CO2 at sub-critical pressures as a tool to sinter 3D, macroporous, microsphere-based scaffolds for bone and cartilage Tissue Engineering Porous scaffolds composed of ~200 µm microspheres ... -
Effect of different sintering methods on bioactivity and release of proteins from PLGA microspheres
(Elsevier, 2013-10)Macromolecule release from poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres has been well-characterized, and is a popular approach for delivering bioactive signals from tissue-engineered scaffolds. However, the effect ... -
Engineered Biomaterials to Enhance Stem Cell-Based Cardiac Tissue Engineering and Therapy
(Wiley, 2016-03-08)Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Since adult cardiac cells are limited in their proliferation, cardiac tissue with dead or damaged cardiac cells downstream of the occluded vessel does not ... -
Bioactive Microsphere-Based Scaffolds Containing Decellularized Cartilage
(Wiley, 2015-07)The aim of this study was to fabricate mechanically functional microsphere-based scaffolds containing decellularized cartilage (DCC), with the hypothesis that this approach would induce chondrogenesis of rat bone marrow-derived ... -
Synthesis and evaluation of a novel co-initiator for dentin adhesives: polymerization kinetics and leachables study
(Springer Verlag, 2015-04-01)A new tertiary amine co-initiator (TUMA) containing three methacrylate-urethane groups was synthesized for application in dentin adhesives. The photopolymerization kinetics and leaching of unreacted components from ... -
Chimeric peptides as implant functionalization agents for titanium alloy implants with antimicrobial properties
(Springer Verlag, 2015-04)Implant-associated infections can have severe effects on the longevity of implant devices and they also represent a major cause of implant failures. Treating these infections associated with implants by antibiotics is not ... -
Phospholipid Composition Modulates Carbon Nanodiamond-Induced Alterations in Phospholipid Domain Formation
(American Chemical Society, 2015-05-12)The focus of this work is to elucidate how phospholipid composition can modulate lipid nanoparticle interactions in phospholipid monolayer systems. We report on alterations in lipid domain formation induced by anionically ... -
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells in a sandwich approach for osteochondral tissue engineering
(Wiley, 2011-10)Cell sources and tissue integration between cartilage and bone regions are critical to successful osteochondral regeneration. In this study, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells (hUCMSCs), derived from Wharton’s ... -
Osteochondral Interface Regeneration of the Rabbit Mandibular Condyle with Bioactive Signal Gradients
(WB Saunders, 2011-06)PURPOSE Tissue engineering solutions focused on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) have expanded in number and variety over the past decade to address the treatment of TMJ disorders. The existing literature on approaches ... -
Determination of neutralization capacity and stability of a basic methacrylate monomer using NMR
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)The durability of dental resin depends on the stability of the polymer. The neutralizing capacity of a basic methacrylate monomer and its chemical stability were measured using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. ... -
Correlations between in situ denitrification activity and nir-gene abundances in pristine and impacted prairie streams
(Elsevier, 2010-10)Denitrification is a process that reduces nitrogen levels in headwaters and other streams. We compared nirS and nirK abundances with the absolute rate of denitrification, the longitudinal coefficient of denitrification ...
