Growth, modelling and remodelling of cardiac tissue: a multiphase approach by Hopkins, Gary

“…Subsequently, in order to further the understanding of the mechanisms of the disease as linked to cardiomyocyte growth and remodelling of the microstructure, a continuum bi-phasic model applicable to cardiac tissue is formulated based on the theory of porous media (TPM). …”

Feasibility study into the use of digital image correlation for creep strain monitoring of fossil power plant welds by Cardenas, Nicolas

“…This is a quasi NonDestructive Examination (NDE) technique that looks at the microstructure of the sample in question. Although well-known and used extensively, replicas, as with any technology, have their shortcomings. …”

The Arbitrage pricing theory: an assessment of the robustness of empirical techniques employed under conditions of thin trading and in the presence of non-normalities by Page, Michael J

“…On the basis of an extensive simulation study the statistical procedures of principal components analysis, principal factor analysis and generalised least squares regression are shown to produce results that appear independent of the true number of underlying factors generating risky asset returns. When market microstructure effects and significant levels of thin trading are simulated into the data the power of the procedures is further reduced. …”

The use of histological examination methods to distinguish between the burnt remains of human and non-human bones by Labuschagne, Lizl

“…ANOVA testing found overall significance (p < 0.0001) for all parameters measured, which suggests that temperature does affect the size of microstructures. Most parameter sizes increased with an increase in temperature. …”
