Effects of YSZ Additions on Thermoelectric Properties of Nb-Doped Strontium Titanate

The effect of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with a low thermal conductivity on the thermoelectric properties of Nb-doped SrTiO₃ bulk materials, which were fabricated by the conventional normal pressure sintering method in an Ar atmosphere, was examined. YSZ additions reduced the thermal conductivity but significantly enhanced the electrical conductivity. However, the Seebeck coefficient was nearly independent of YSZ content. Thus, the ZT value was enhanced, and a sample with 3 wt.% YSZ displayed the maximum ZT value, 0.21, at 900 K. Additionally, the reason for the reduced thermal conductivity and enhanced electrical conductivity by YSZ additions was investigated in detail.     

Application of whey protein isolate in bone regeneration: Effects on growth and osteogenic differentiation of bone-forming cells

Recently, milk-derived proteins have attracted attention for applications in the biomedical field such as tissue regeneration. Whey protein isolate (WPI), especially its main component β-lactoglobulin, can modulate immunity and acts as an antioxidant, antitumor, antiviral, and antibacterial agent. There are very few reports of the application of WPI in tissue engineering, especially in bone tissue engineering. In this study, we tested the influence of different concentrations of WPI on behavior of human osteoblast-like Saos-2 cells, human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASC), and human neonatal dermal fibroblasts (FIB). The positive effect on growth was apparent for Saos-2 cells and FIB but not for ASC. However, the expression of markers characteristic for early osteogenic cell differentiation [type-I collagen (COL1) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)] as well as ALP activity, increased dose-dependently in ASC. Importantly, Saos-2 cells were able to deposit calcium in the presence of WPI, even in a proliferation medium without other supplements that support osteogenic cell differentiation. The results indicate that, depending on the cell type, WPI can act as an enhancer of cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, enrichment of biomaterials for bone regeneration with WPI seems a promising approach, especially due to the low cost of WPI.     

Confinement-Shear Lattice Model for Concrete Damage in Tension and Compression: II. Computation and Validation

The concrete material model developed in the preceding Part I of this study is formulated numerically. The new model is then verified by comparisons with experimental data for compressive and tensile uniaxial tests, biaxial tests, and triaxial tests, as well as notched tests of mode I fracture and size effect.
