Living Fibres: 3d Hydrogel Fibres For Tissue Engineering, Anita Quigley, Magdalena Kita, Rhys Cornock, Tharun Mysore, Javad Foroughi, Gordon G. Wallace, Robert M. I Kapsa Jan 2013

Living Fibres: 3d Hydrogel Fibres For Tissue Engineering, Anita Quigley, Magdalena Kita, Rhys Cornock, Tharun Mysore, Javad Foroughi, Gordon G. Wallace, Robert M. I Kapsa

Australian Institute for Innovative Materials - Papers

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.


Application Of Multi-Hazard Seismic-Blast Detailing For Highway Bridges, Dominique Morton Torres Jan 2013

Application Of Multi-Hazard Seismic-Blast Detailing For Highway Bridges, Dominique Morton Torres

Dissertations and Theses

The increase of worldwide terrorist attacks on public transportation has heightened our concerns of protecting the nation’s transportation infrastructure. Highway bridges are an attractive target for terrorist attacks due to ease of accessibility and their overall importance to society. The primary objective of this research is to investigate multi-hazard seismic-blast correlations of blast-induced bridge components through numerical simulations of a high-precision finite element model of a typical highway bridge in New York. Seismic-detailing for blast loading on bridges has been investigated to study the correlations between seismic design for blast load effects. High-precision 3D Finite Element models of bridges detailed …


Exploring Current And Projected Skills And Knowledge Areas To Meet U.S. Commercial Space Industry Needs, Sonya A. H. Mcmullen, Mac J. Mcmullen, Kenneth Witcher Jan 2013

Exploring Current And Projected Skills And Knowledge Areas To Meet U.S. Commercial Space Industry Needs, Sonya A. H. Mcmullen, Mac J. Mcmullen, Kenneth Witcher

Publications

In 2007, the Committee on Meeting the Workforce Needs for the National Vision for Space Exploration published findings related to age and skills of the current National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) workforce and projected potential expertise shortages as a result of retirement in the 2014-2015 time frame. In addition, the expanding commercial space industry in both the United States and Europe will likely create further demand for space experts in engineering and a variety of related fields. Although NASA contributes $162 million in funding for education programs annually, those programs target kindergarten through grade 12, not collegiate-level programs. Further, …


Academic And Social Barriers To Black And Latino Male Collegians' Success In Engineering And Related Stem Fields, Terrell Lamont Strayhorn, Leroy L. Long Iii, Joseph Allen Kitchen, Michael Steven Williams, Meg E. Stenz Jan 2013

Academic And Social Barriers To Black And Latino Male Collegians' Success In Engineering And Related Stem Fields, Terrell Lamont Strayhorn, Leroy L. Long Iii, Joseph Allen Kitchen, Michael Steven Williams, Meg E. Stenz

Publications

Historically underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities (i.e. African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans) have experienced barriers to their success in engineering and related STEM fields. These student populations have had lower degree attainment rates, switch to non-STEM majors more frequently, and experience unique social challenges when compared to White and Asian Pacific Islander counterparts. To examine these findings, nearly 50 interviews were conducted and analyzed in the present study to better understand the academic and social experiences of African American and Latino American men in these fields. Interviews revealed that these students tend to (1) feel alone and invisible, (2) lack same …
