The apparent mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA) whisker reinforced polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) scaffolds were evaluated in unconfined, uniaxial compression to investigate the effects of the porosity (75%, 82.5% and 90%), HA content (0, 20 and 40 vol%) and mold temperature (350

Porous polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and bioactive hydroxyapatite (HA) reinforced PEEK scaffolds have attracted recent interest for enabling biologic fixation of orthopaedic and spinal implants, such as interbody spinal fusion cages. Porous PEEK and HA-PEEK scaffolds have been prepared by compression molding
Artificial surfaces are routinely used instead of leaves to enable a reductionist approach in phyllosphere microbiology, the study of microorganisms residing on plant leaf surfaces. Commonly used artificial surfaces include, flat surfaces, such as metal and nutrient agar, and microstructured
Anti-prion protein (PrP) monoclonal antibody 132, which recognizes mouse PrP amino acids 119-127, enables us to reliably detect abnormal isoform prion protein (PrPSc) in cells or frozen tissue sections by immunofluorescence assay, although treatment with guanidinium salts is a prerequisite.

The growth responses of salmonellae (mixed inoculum of Salmonella thompson, S. stanley and S. infantis) as affected by NaCl concentration, pH level and storage temperature were studied in laboratory medium. Growth curves were obtained at 5 concentrations of NaCl (0.5-4.5%
