The adsorption behavior of a human recombinant Factor VIII (rFVIII) in the presence of the nonionic, poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock surfactant Pluronic® F-68 was ev ...

In this study the enzymatic activity of adsorbed Thermomonospora fusca E₅ and Trichoderma reesei CBHI cellulases were investigated using fluorescence techniques. In particular, cellulases were allowed to contact hydrop ...

Steady flow fields and flow-induced wall stresses have been evaluated by experimental measurements and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis in a series of patient-specific abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) models, o ...

The principal aim of this study was the use and evaluation of dynamic modeling techniques to identify mathematical models for cereal drying rates and quality changes that best describe thin-layer malt drying data. Seve ...

The effect of pH and ionic strength on the equilibrium adsorptive behavior of β-lactoglobulin onto hydrophobic and hydrophilic silicon surfaces was studied using ellipsometry. Plots of amount adsorbed (μg protein/cm²) ...

Heparin was modified with adipic diliydrazide and covalently linked to surface-activated silica. Contact angle measurements were made to determine changes in surface at various stages of the derivatization. Xray photo ...

The transfer of air travelers with disabilities between a mobility aid and an aircraft seat is a major source of injury for both the travelers and the airline personnel assisting in the transfer. The risk to both parti ...

Infections in hospitals account for over 100,000 deaths per year. These infections occur at the hospital from complications following bacterial adhesion to intravenous catheters, coronary stents and other implanted dev ...

Heparin was modified and immobilized to surface-activated silica surfaces using two different reaction schemes. End-aminated heparin was reacted with 2-iminothiolane to produce free thiol groups at the terminal ends of t ...
