Design and development of an electrospun polymeric transcatheter heart valve for tissue engineering by Guess, Rosslee Christie

“…Four groups of valves, differing in average leaflet thickness (n = 2–4 per group), were produced for each material type. Under simulated aortic conditions, the PEL valves (N = 10) achieved remarkably high accelerated fatigue life of up to 260 million cycles (equivalent to 2.5 years), with a positive correlation between leaflet thickness and durability. …”

Risks from Solar Geoengineering with Stratospheric Aerosol Injection on Land Vertebrates by Del, Cuore Emma

“…Specifically, I assessed the temporal dynamics of exposure to potentially dangerous temperatures for more than 26,000 species of terrestrial vertebrates using a G6sulfur scenario, which provides simulations of a high emissions pathway (SSP5-8.5) with SAI deployed using sulphate aerosols to keep global warming levels similar to that in an intermediate-emissions scenario achieved through conventional mitigation (SSP2- 4.5). …”

Empirical Estimation of a Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) for the City of Cape Town Freeway Network by Rammutla, John Koketso

“…Several approaches, including kinetic wave theory and cell transmission models or macroscopic traffic simulation models, have been proposed and developed to describe the traffic state of an urban-scale network. …”

Developing a mechanistic model for flow through a perforated plate with application to screening of particulate materials by Ogunmodimu, Olumide

“…Microscopic properties of granular flow were used in DEM to simulate screening of particulate materials. Granular mixtures of two particle constituents (3 mm and 5 mm) were simulated on an inclined vibrating screen of 3.5 mm apertures. …”

Nitrogen cycling in the South Atlantic and South Indian Oceans investigated using nitrate isotopes: implications for nutrient supply, ocean fertility, carbon export, and climate by Marshall, Tanya

“…Using a one-box model to simulate the newly-fixed nitrate flux, the local N2 fixation rate for the greater Agulhas region is estimated to Thesis abstract be 7-25 Tg N.a-1; this value is the first observation-based N2 fixation rate estimate for the South Indian Ocean. …”
