10th Annual Symposium Of The School Of Science, Engineering And Health, Messiah College
School of Science, Engineering & Health (SEH) Symposium
Welcome to the 10th Annual Symposium of the School of Science, Engineering and Health! This symposium continues a strong tradition of annual events designed to showcase student and faculty innovation, creativity and productivity in academic departments that were formerly housed in different schools within the college. This will be the third year in which we are holding the event as the School of Science, Engineering and Health. We have maintained many customs while blending to establish new traditions. We look forward to incorporating your suggested improvements into future symposia.

Injury to nerve tissue in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) results in long-term impairment of limb function, dysaesthesia and pain, often with associated psychological effects. Whilst minor injuries can be left to regenerate without intervention and short gaps up to 2 cm can be sutured, larger or more severe injuries commonly require autogenous nerve grafts harvested from elsewhere in the body (usually sensory nerves). Functional recovery is often suboptimal and associated with loss of sensation from the tissue innervated by the harvested nerve. The challenges that persist with nerve repair have resulted in development of nerve guides or conduits from …

Two synthesis routes to graphene/polycaprolactone composites are introduced and the properties of the resulting composites compared. In the first method, mixtures are produced using solution processing of polycaprolactone and well dispersed, chemically reduced graphene oxide and in the second, an esterification reaction covalently links polycaprolactone chains to free carboxyl groups on the graphene sheets. This is achieved through the use of a stable anhydrous dimethylformamide dispersion of graphene that has been highly chemically reduced resulting in mostly peripheral ester linkages. The resulting covalently linked composites exhibit far better homogeneity and as a result, both Young's modulus and tensile strength more …

In recent decades, Smarandache’s notions of multispace and multistructure were widely spread and have shown much importance in sciences around the world. Organizedby Prof.Linfan Mao, a professional conference on multispaces and multistructures, named the First International Conference on Smarandache Multispace and Multistructure was held in Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture of P. R. China on June 28-30, 2013, which was announced by American Mathematical Society in advance.

The selective assembly of functionalised fibres produced by wet-spinning into implantable three dimensional contructs presents attractive prospects for the field of medical bionics[1]. In particular, the incorporation of biological factors and large numbers of cells within biocompatible and macroporous fibres is expected to deliver improvements to drug delivery platforms as well as to tissue engineering biotechnology[2, 3].

To use rapid fibre spinning technologies for the creation of 3D constructs for cell delivery, tissue engineering and the study of 3D cellular interactions. This study describes the fabrication of biosynthetic soft gel fibers containing myoblasts and myogenic growth factors and their use for restoration of dystrophin expression in dystrophic mdx mouse muscle.
