Separated and reattaching flows over sharp-leading-edge bluff bodies are important to investigate in order to improve our understanding of practical flows such as the case of low-rise buildings in the atmospheric boundary layer. In this study, Particle Image Velocimetry measurements of the separated-reattaching flows over the roof surface of a low-rise building model were taken for six different turbulent boundary layer conditions. The results were analyzed to understand how the incident turbulence ...

Investigations of separated and reattaching flows near the leading edge of three-dimensional bluff bodies placed in turbulent boundary layers are important because of the large aerodynamic loads that these flows cause. Roofs of low-rise buildings are vulnerable to this kind of wind loading. Turbulence properties in the approaching boundary layer flow affect the pressure distributions and the mean size of the separation bubble formed on building surfaces. In this study, the effects of turbulence ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been linked to the gut microbiota, with recent studies revealing the potential of gut-generated responses to influence several arms of the immune responses relevant to HCC formation. The pro- or anti-tumor effects of specific bacterial strains or gut microbiota-related metabolites, such as bile acids and short-chain fatty acids, have been highlighted in many human and animal studies. The critical role of the gut microbiota in HCC development has spurred interest ...

This review discusses the history, definition, and classification of stem cells. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) mainly include embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass of the embryo. Induced pluripotent stem cells are derived from reprogramming ...

Abstract Ghana, as in many African countries, is faced with the challenge of sustainably managing electronic waste (e-waste). The country has a legal framework and is in the process of developing a public policy for e-waste management. However, e-waste management remains a major challenge due to weaknesses in the country’s innovation and policymaking process that include inability to cater for the informal sector. This article argues that the current approach to innovation policymaking in Ghana would ...

Abstract There is a need to store very large numbers of conventional human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) lines for their off‐the‐shelf usage in stem cell therapy. Therefore, it is valuable to generate “universal” or “hypoimmunogenic” hPSCs with gene‐editing technology by knocking out or in immune‐related genes. A few universal or hypoimmunogenic hPSC lines should be enough to store for their off‐the‐shelf usage. Here, we overview and discuss how to prepare universal or hypoimmunogenic hPSCs and their ...

Abstract Purpose The effects of estradiol on oocyte development seem to be varied among species. The present study investigated the effects of 17β‐estradiol on in vitro maturation of buffalo and goat oocytes. Methods Cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) were aspirated from large antral follicles of slaughtered buffalo and goat ovaries. COCs were cultured in TCM‐199 medium supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 µg/mL of 17β‐estradiol for in vitro maturation. Then, oocytes were used for the examination of ...

The current differentiation process of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into cardiomyocytes to enhance the purity of hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes requires some purification processes, which are laborious processes. We developed cell sorting plates, which are prepared from coating thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and extracellular matrix proteins. After hPSCs were induced into cardiomyocytes on the thermoresponsive surface coated with laminin-521 for 15 days, the temperature of the ...

Human mesenchymal stem cells, such as human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs), are typically cultured on a two-dimensional (2D) monolayer material surface, on which 2D culturing methods are easily performed and time-saving. However, hASCs usually suffer from decreased pluripotency and differentiation ability when cultured with a 2D monolayer culturing method compared to hASCs cultured with a three-dimensional (3D) culturing method, such as suspension culture. In this study, we evaluated whether the ...

Recently, most social networking sites (SNS) adopt some form of persuasive system features that leverage social influence to deliberately induce prescribed behaviours in their users.
