Biomimetic kinetic shading facade inspired by tree morphology for improving occupant’s daylight performance
( Solarlits , 2021 , Article)Many recent studies in the field of the kinetic façade developed the grid-based modular forms through primary kinetic movements which are restricted in the simple shapes. However, learning from biological analogies reveals ... -
Biomimetic Strategy to Enhance Epithelial Cell Viability and Spreading on PEEK Implants
( American Chemical Society , 2022 , Article)Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a biocompatible material widely used in spinal and craniofacial implants, with potential use in percutaneous implants. However, its inertness prevents it from forming a tight seal with the ... -
Biomimetic trace metals improve bone regenerative properties of calcium phosphate bioceramics
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)The bone regenerative capacity of synthetic calcium phosphates (CaPs) can be enhanced through the enrichment with selected metal trace ions. However, defining the optimal elemental composition required for bone formation ... -
Biomonitoring of Toxic Effects of Pesticides in Occupationally Exposed Individuals
( Elsevier , 2016 , Article)Background Workers in pesticide manufacturing industries are constantly exposed to pesticides. Genetic biomonitoring provides an early identification of potential cancer and genetic diseases in exposed populations. The ... -
Biophysical studies of the effect of high power ultrasound on the DNA solution
( Elsevier B.V. , 2014 , Article)Stability and molecular size of the DNA double helical structure were studied on an aqueous solution of DNA after exposure to high power doses of continuous wave ultrasound at frequency of 20kHz. Thermal transition ... -
Biorefinery perspectives of microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) for hydrogen and valuable chemicals production through wastewater treatment
( Green Wave Publishing of Canada , 2020 , Article Review)The degradation of waste organics through microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) generates hydrogen (H2) gas in an economically efficient way. MEC is known as the advanced concept of the microbial fuel cell (MFC) but requires ... -
Bioremediation and nutrient removal from wastewater by Chlorella vulgaris
