Direct reuse of electronic plastic scraps from computer monitor and keyboard to direct stem cell growth and differentiation by Shi, Pujiang, Tan, Chiew Kei, Wu, Zhuoran, Gabriel, Jean-Christophe P., Srinivasan, Madhavi, Lee, Jong-Min, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Herein, the distinctive surface and micro topographical features of computer electronic-plastic (E-plastic) scraps were unconventionally repurposed as a substrate material to guide the growth and differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs). …”

Analysis and mitigation of spatial integration errors for the material point method by Baumgarten, Aaron S., Kamrin, Ken

“…The material point method (MPM) is a robust numerical simulation approach for continuum mechanics problems involving large material deformations coupled to changing surface topographies. These types of problems are present in many different engineering contexts, from understanding the failure processes of earthen slopes to predicting the strengths and failure mechanisms of body armor to modeling the impact forces of waves in fluid tanks. …”

Hydrous melting driven upwelling from the mantle transition zone in the Mongolia plateau revealed by receiver function analysis by He, Jing, Xu, Mijian, Wu, Qingju, Zhang, Fengxue

“…We use receiver function to investigate the MTZ structure beneath the Mongolia Plateau using earthquakes recorded by 223 stations deployed in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The topographies of the 410 km (D410) and 660 km (D660) discontinuities are both characterized by slight depressions in most parts of the Mongolia Plateau. …”

Effects of microwave frying on physicochemical properties of edible oils and quality of potato chips by Elfaitouri, Taher A.Houssein

“…Oil was trapped only in intercellular spaces, which was strongly linked to the microstructure (not only in intercellular spaces but also over some cells). The topographical data acquired by CLSM in reflective mode confirmed that several cells were broken during the cutting operation. …”
