The initiation of lens cataract has long been associated with the development of a membrane "leak" in lens fiber cells that depolarizes the lens intracellular potential and elevates intracellular Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations. It has been proposed that... Read More about Identification of a nonselective cation channel in isolated lens fiber cells that is activated by cell shrinkage.

Enhancing thermal properties of asphalt materials for heat storage and transfer applications (2012)
Journal Article
Dawson, A. R., Dehdezi, P. K., Hall, M. R., Wang, J., & Isola, R. (in press). Enhancing thermal properties of asphalt materials for heat storage and transfer applications. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 13(4), https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2012.735791

The paper considers extending the role of asphalt concrete pavements to become solar heat collectors and storage systems. The majority of the construction cost is already procured for such pavements and only marginal additional costs are likely to be...

Surface Plasmon microscopy enables measurement of local refractive index on a far finer scale than prism based systems. An interferometric or confocal system gives the so-called V(z) curve when the sample is scanned axially, which gives a measure of...
