Interaction of TiO2 and ZnO NPs with human skin cells by Gautam, Archana

“…Therefore, the goal of this study is to assess the physiological effects of TiO2 and ZnO NPs interactions with primary human epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, with attention to accurate dosimetry measurements and particle solubility considerations. Since the current findings on NPs interaction with skin cells are mostly based on 2D monolayer cell culture and animal models, in this study, 3D human skin explants have also been used to better understand the effects of NPs in the skin tissue. …”

Analysis of lava flow impacts for use in risk assessments by Meredith, Elinor Siwan

“…Along with the 2018 Kīlauea assessment, I used this compiled dataset to assess relationships between lava flow thickness as a proxy for hazard intensity and damage severity, presenting the first empirically-derived and non-linear fragility functions for lava flow structure damage, for different structure types. The findings show a recent increase in recorded impact events, and that these events occur more frequently than previously thought, with almost three impact events, to population centres, per decade in the past 100 years. …”

The development and application of fish scale waste for tissue engineering applications : waste-to-resource conversion of resource resilient materials by Wang, Jun Kit

“…Therefore in this thesis, fish scale-derived collagen (FSCol) and fish scale-derived HA (FSHA) were extracted from different fish species and the potential of the extracted products for various TE applications were explored. Findings from the studies demonstrated that Type I FSCol was successfully extracted using a modified acid solubilization extraction method with preserved structural quality (i.e. retention of triple helical structures) where snakehead scale-derived collagen (SHCol) exhibited significant higher (p < 0.05) thermal stability as compared to other species. …”
