Whole exome sequencing: a customised approach to exploring the genetic basis of musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries by Gibbon, Andrea

“…In addition, several variants previously associated with the risk of injury including TNC rs1138545 (C>T), MMP3 rs3025058 (5A>6A), rs679620 (G>A), rs591058 (C>T) and rs650108 (G>A) and COL1A1 rs1107946 (G>T) and rs1800012 (G>T), were also prioritised for investigation in additional injury cohorts. • To functionally annotate the prioritised variants using a host of in silico bioinformatic analyses tools. …”

Role of extracellular environment in mechanical properties of human cardiac fibroblasts and myofibroblasts by Haasbroek, Pieter Daniël

“…Rheological measurements indicated an elastic shear modulus of 500 ± 13 Pa and 2721 ± 39 Pa for PEG gels of 4% (m/v) and 10% (m/v), respectively. Specialised micro-indentation and uniaxial tensile testing found PEG gels of 7%, 10%, 14% and 18% concentration to have elastic moduli of 42.0 ± 2.8 kPa, 65.3 ±8.0 kPa, 78.2 ± 8.4 kPa, and 121.5 ± 11.9 kPa, respectively. …”

A study on the effect of lateral interactions on methanation over Fe(100) by Abrahams, Robin Kyle

“…When using larger p(4x4) unit cells for CO adsorption on Fe(100), the results showed that the heat of adsorption can differ by as much as 0.24 eV at 0.25 ML. It was concluded that lateral interactions are a function of local coverage (i.e. number of nearest and next nearest neighbours) and not necessarily global coverage. …”
