Homogenization theory and digital imaging: A basis for studying the mechanics and design principles of bone tissue
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-03-25)
Bone tissue is a complex multilevel composite which has the ability to sense ad respond to its mechanical environment. It is believed that bone cells called osteocytes within the bone matrix sense the mechanical environment ...
Biochemical production capabilities of escherichia coli
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1993-06-05)
Microbial metabolism provides at mechanism for the conversion of substrates into useful biochemicals. Utilization of microbes in industrial processes requires a modification of their natural metabolism in order to increase ...
Cell growth and differentiation on feeder layers is predicted to be influenced by bioreactor geometry
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-06-05)
Tissue function is comprised of a complex interplay between biological and physicochemical rate processes. The design of bioreactors for tissue engineering must account for these processes simultaneously in order to obtain ...
Reduction of porous media permeability from in situ Leuconostoc mesenteroides growth and dextran production
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-04-05)
In situ growth of bacteria in a porous medium can alter the permeability of that media. This article reveals that the rate of permeability alteration can be controlled by the inoculation strategy, nutrient concentrations, ...
Cell cycle dependence of retroviral transduction: An issue of overlapping time scales
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-04-20)
Recombinant retroviruses are currently used as gene delivery vehicles for the purpose of gene therapy. It is generally believed that the efficiency of retroviral transduction depends on the cell cycle status of the target ...
Mass transfer effects on microbial uptake of naphthalene from complex NAPLs
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998-12-20)
The bioavailability of naphthalene present as a component of a complex nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) comprised by nine aromatic compounds was investigated. Specifically, the effects of naphthalene mass transfer from the ...
