Ultrasonography Evaluation of Patency of Implanted Infra-Renal Vascular Grafts in the Rat Model. by Da Silva, Natercia

“…Introduction: Intensive research over the last six decades has resulted in minimal improvement in vascular graft development. Small animal models are the first line of species exposed to vascular graft implantation and invasive monitoring of experimental graft patency may contribute to pain, suffering, higher cost and earlier sacrifice. …”

Development of a Micromorphic (Multiscale) Material Model aimed at Cardiac Tissue Mechanics by Dollery, Devin

“…Computational cardiac mechanics has historically relied on classical continuum models; however, classical models amalgamate the behaviour of a material's micro-constituents, and thus only approximate the macroscopically observable material behaviour as a purely averaged response that originated on micro-structural levels. …”

Quantum-Based Modelling and Simulation of Materials Used In Small-Scaled Plasmonic Devices by Akinyemi, Lateef Adesola

“…Firstly, the extension of existing classical models to Plasmonic materials is examined. It is ascertained that most of these models are designed for usage only in the highfrequency region. …”

Model systems for the investigation of metal-support interactions in cobalt based Fischer-Tropsch by Dyasi, Nontsikelelo

“…In order to investigate metal support interactions independent of other support effects, the inverse method was used in the synthesis of model catalysts [3]. The inverse method mimics the interface bond between the support and the active metal, resulting in CoO-Si bond formation. …”

Fidelity and costs of implementing the integrated chronic disease management model in South Africa by Lebina, Limakatso

“…Some of the expected outcomes on implementing the ICDM model have not been achieved, and there is a dearth of studies assessing implementation outcomes of chronic care models, especially in low-middle income countries. …”
