Photoacoustic imaging of squirrel monkey cortical and subcortical brain regions during peripheral electrical stimulation
(Elsevier, 2021-12-17)The investigation of neuronal activity in non-human primate models is of critical importance due to their genetic similarity to human brains. In this study, we tested the feasibility of using photoacoustic imaging for the ... -
Assessment of dispersion of airborne particles of oral/nasal fluid by high flow nasal cannula therapy
(Public Library of Science, 2021-02-12)Background Nasal High Flow (NHF) therapy delivers flows of heated humidified gases up to 60 LPM (litres per minute) via a nasal cannula. Particles of oral/nasal fluid released by patients undergoing NHF therapy may pose ... -
Engineered Nanoparticles with Decoupled Photocatalysis and Wettability for Membrane-Based Desalination and Separation of Oil-Saline Water Mixtures
(MDPI, 2021-05-05)Membrane-based separation technologies are the cornerstone of remediating unconventional water sources, including brackish and industrial or municipal wastewater, as they are relatively energy-efficient and versatile. ... -
Leakage pressures for gasketless superhydrophobic fluid interconnects for modular lab-on-a-chip systems
(Springer Nature, 2021-09-07)Chip-to-chip and world-to-chip fluidic interconnections are paramount to enable the passage of liquids between component chips and to/from microfluidic systems. Unfortunately, most interconnect designs add additional ... -
Cutting Performance of Randomly Distributed Active Abrasive Grains in Gear Honing Process
(MDPI, 2021-09-17)In power gear honing, the random distribution of abrasive grains on the tooth surface of the honing wheel is the main factor that influences the machining performance of high-quality hardened gears. In order to investigate ... -
Trunk Control Response to Unstable Seated Posture During Various Feedback Conditions in People with Chronic Low Back Pain
(Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions, 2019)AIMS: People with chronic low back pain (CLBP) tend to have altered postural control. Visual biofeedback may be used to restore postural control. The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the effect of visual ... -

Peptide Mediated Antimicrobial Dental Adhesive System
(MDPI, 2019-02-08)The most common cause for dental composite failures is secondary caries due to invasive bacterial colonization of the adhesive/dentin (a/d) interface. Innate material weakness often lead to an insufficient seal between the ... -
Ordered Rate Constitutive Theories for Non-Classical Thermofluids Based on Convected Time Derivatives of the Strain and Higher Order Rotation Rate Tensors Using Entropy Inequality
(MDPI, 2020-04-14)This paper considers non-classical continuum theory for thermoviscous fluids without memory incorporating internal rotation rates resulting from the antisymmetric part of the velocity gradient tensor to derive ordered rate ... -
Self-assembling antimicrobial peptides on nanotubular titanium surfaces coated with calcium phosphate for local therapy
(Elsevier, 2018-09-12)Bacterial infection is a serious medical problem leading to implant failure. The current antibiotic based therapies rise concerns due to bacterial resistance. The family of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) is one of the promising ... -

Mitigation of peri-implantitis by rational design of bifunctional peptides with antimicrobial properties
(American Chemical Society, 2019-09-24)The integration of molecular and cell biology with materials science has led to strategies to improve the interface between dental implants with the surrounding soft and hard tissues in order to replace missing teeth and ... -
Prediction of blood-based biomarkers and subsequent design of bisulfite PCR-LDR-qPCR assay for breast cancer detection
(BMC, 2020-01-31)Background Interrogation of site-specific CpG methylation in circulating tumor DNAs (ctDNAs) has been employed in a number of studies for early detection of breast cancer (BrCa). In many of these studies, the markers were ... -
Structure–property relationships for wet dentin adhesive polymers
(AIP Publishing, 2018-12)Dentin adhesive systems for composite tooth restorations are composed of hydrophilic/hydrophobic monomers, solvents, and photoinitiators. The adhesives undergo phase separation and concomitant compositional change during ... -
Muscle Synergies Obtained from Comprehensive Mapping of the Cortical Forelimb Representation Using Stimulus Triggered Averaging of EMG Activity
(Society for Neuroscience, 2018-10-10)Neuromuscular control of voluntary movement may be simplified using muscle synergies similar to those found using non-negative matrix factorization. We recently identified synergies in electromyography (EMG) recordings ... -
Removal of choroidal vasculature using concurrently applied ultrasound bursts and nanosecond laser pulses
(Nature Research, 2018-08-27)Pathologic microvasculature plays a crucial role in innumerable diseases causing death and major organ impairment. A major clinical challenge is the development of selective therapies to remove these diseased microvessels ... -
Antimicrobial peptide similarity and classification through rough set theory using physicochemical boundaries
(BMC, 2018-12-06)Background Antimicrobial peptides attract considerable interest as novel agents to combat infections. Their long-time potency across bacteria, viruses and fungi as part of diverse innate immune systems offers a solution ... -
Non-classical continuum theories for solid and fluent continua and some applications
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-11-25)This paper presents two specific thermodynamically consistent non-classical continuum theories for solid and fluent continua. The first non-classical continuum theory for solid continua incorporates Jacobian of deformation ... -
