Numerical Investigation of a Parallel-Plate Atmospheric-Pressure Nitrogen/Ammonia Dielectric Barrier Discharge
In this paper, a planar atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge (AP-DBD) of nitrogen mixed with ammonia (0–2 %) is simulated using one-dimensional self-consistent fluid modeling with cell-centered fi...

Investigation of the Atmospheric Helium Dielectric Barrier Discharge Driven by a Realistic Distorted-Sinusoidal Voltage Power Source
The non-equilibrium atmospheric-pressure parallel-plate helium dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) driven by a realistic 20 kHz distorted-sinusoidal voltage waveform has been investigated by means of simulation...

Amino acids supply in culture media is not a limiting factor in the matrix synthesis of engineered cartilage tissue
Increased amino acid supplementation (0.5×, 1.0×, and 5.0× recommended concentrations or additional proline) was hypothesized to increase the collagen content in engineered cartilage. No significant difference...

A Theoretical Analysis of Water Transport Through Chondrocytes
Because of the avascular nature of adult cartilage, nutrients and waste products are transported to and from the chondrocytes by diffusion and convection through the extracellular matrix. The convective inters...

The effect of finite compressive strain on chondrocyte viability in statically loaded bovine articular cartilage
Recent studies have reported that certain regimes of compressive loading of articular cartilage result in increased cell death in the superficial tangential zone (STZ). The objectives of this study were (1) to...
