Three-dimensional analysis of masonry vaults using limit state analysis with finite friction
Dina F D'Ayala, E Tomasoni
Mar 01, 2011
Within the past 20 years, a growing number of methods for the analysis of masonry vaults have been developed. However, most methods idealize the vaults as a system of many arches. This oversimplification could be admissible for...

Water flow enhancement in hydrophilic nanochannels
All published reports on fluid flow enhancement and water slippage are associated with hydrophobic surfaces, such as carbon nanotubes. Here, we investigate water flow in hydrophilic alumina nanochannels with diameters ranging...

New models to study vascular mural cell embryonic origin
A key question in vascular biology is how the diversity of origin of vascular mural cells, namely smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and pericytes influences vessel properties, in particular the regional propensity to vascular diseases....

Non-coding genetic variation in regulatory elements determines thrombosis and hemostasis phenotypes.
Since the early inception of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), it became clear that, in all diseases or traits studied, most genetic variants are likely to exert their effect on gene expression mainly by altering the...

Interaction between the Cockayne syndrome B and p53 proteins
The CSB protein plays a role in the transcription coupled repair (TCR) branch of the nucleotide excision repair pathway. CSB is very often found mutated in Cockayne syndrome, a segmental progeroid genetic disease characterized...

Explaining high flow rate of water in carbon nanotubes via solid-liquid molecular interactions
Davide Mattia, F Calabrò
Jul 01, 2012
Experimental and simulation measurements of water flow through carbon nanotubes have shown orders of magnitude higher flow rates than what was predicted using continuum fluid mechanics models. Different explanations have been...

Thickness, stability and contact angle of liquid films on and inside nanofibres, nanotubes and nanochannels
While the stability of liquid films on substrates is a classical topic of colloidal science, the availability of nanostructured materials, such as nanotubes, nanofibres and nanochannels, has raised the question of how the...

Production of Nanoemulsions Using Anodic Alumina Membranes in a Stirred-Cell Setup

Oil-in-water nanoemulsions (NEs) were produced in a dead-end stirred cell setup for the first time using bespoke anodic alumina membranes (AAMs). The regular pore structure and narrow pore size distribution of AAMs enabled...
