Ball Milling Effect on the CO2 Uptake of Mafic and Ultramafic Rocks: A Review
(2018)
Mineral carbonation is considered to be the most stable mechanism for the sequestration of CO2. This study comprises a comparative review of the effect of ball milling on the CO2 uptake of ultramafic/mafic lithologies, ...
An efficient computational fluid-particle dynamics method to predict deposition in a simplified approximation of the deep lung
(2018)
High-fidelity simulations of the complete airway tree are still largely beyond current computational capabilities. Towards large-scale simulations of the human lung, the current study introduces a numerical methodology to ...
Targeted Drug Delivery to Upper Airways Using a Pulsed Aerosol Bolus and Inhaled Volume Tracking Method
(2019)
The pulmonary route presents an attractive delivery pathway for topical treatment of lung diseases. While significant progress has been achieved in understanding the physical underpinnings of aerosol deposition in the ...
Prostate-specific membrane antigen cleavage of vitamin B9 stimulates oncogenic signaling through metabotropic glutamate receptors
(2018)
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) or folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1) is highly expressed on prostate cancer. Its expression correlates inversely with survival and increases with tumor grade. However, the biological role ...
Experimental methods for flow and aerosol measurements in human airways and their replicas
(2018)
Recent developments in the prediction of local aerosol deposition in human lungs are driven by the fast development of computational simulations. Although such simulations provide results in unbeatable resolution, significant ...
Multiscale in silico lung modeling strategies for aerosol inhalation therapy and drug delivery
(2019)
Inhalation therapy is a hallmark of modern respiratory medicine. Over recent years, computational fluid-particle dynamics (CFPD) simulations of respiratory airflows and aerosol deposition in the lungs have rapidly developed ...
PIV measurements of the SimInhale benchmark case
(2019)
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements with the aim of providing experimental data for the SimInhale benchmark case are presented within this work. We, therefore, present a refractive index matched, transparent model ...
Nanoparticles-enabled low temperature growth of carbon nanofibers and their properties for supercapa

Nanoparticles-enabled low temperature growth of carbon nanofibers and their properties for supercapa
DNA-enabled rational design of fluorescence-Raman bimodal nanoprobes for cancer imaging and therapy
(2019)
Recently, surface-enhanced Raman scattering nanoprobes have shown tremendous potential in oncological imaging owing to the high sensitivity and specificity of their fingerprint-like spectra. As current Raman scanners rely ...
Targeting inhaled fibers to the pulmonary acinus: Opportunities for augmented delivery from in silico simulations
(2019)
Non-spherical particles, and fibers in particular, are potentially attractive airborne carriers for pulmonary drug delivery. Not only do they exhibit a high surface-to-volume ratio relative to spherical aerosols, but their ...
