Ovine articular chondrocytes were isolated from cartilage biopsy and culture expanded in vitro. Approximately 30 million cells per ml of cultured chondrocytes were incorporated with autologous plasma-derived fibrin to form a three-dimensional construct. Fullthickness punch hole defects were created in the lateral and medial femoral condyles. The de

PLGA microspheres undergo physical ageing but their ageing kinetics have not been reported, nor the effect of encapsulated protein or plasmid DNA on any associated changes to the glass transition. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to measure the rate of ageing of various PLGAmicrosphere formulations, with temperature-modulatedDSCused

We consider the use of qutrits in a two way deterministic quantum cryptographic protocol which exhibits a higher level of security. We analyse the security of the protocol in the context of the Intercept Resend Strategy. The protocol which transmits a qutrit is naturally limited to not utilising all the available maximally overlapping basis due to

An inverted paper cup of 0.26 mm thickness was subjected to deformation under a freely falling steel ball at a velocity of 2.77 m/sec. The deformed features of the paper cup were measured. The dynamic loading event was simulated using piecewise linear plasticity material model in LSDYNA. Deformed shape of the paper cup in finite element model match
