A significant reduction in the compressive elastic modulus was observed for liver dECM with respect to native tissue, suggesting a re-examination of design parameters for ECM-mimicking scaffolds for engineering tissues in vitro.
One key distinction from earlier examinations of design processes related to textiles and apparel is that the present study examined the perspectives of professionals working in the industry, rather than the perspectives of educators or design students (Gam et al., 2009; LaBat and Sokolowski, 1999; Parsons and Campbell, 2004; Lamb and Kallal, 1992, Watkins, 1988).
Examinations of design processes, including evolving social and technological impacts on these processes, are important because a designer's reflection upon his/her process can contribute to theory building and add to the body of knowledge in the discipline (Bye, 2010).
Although skin is the perfect thematic focus for an examination of contemporary design, this show feels skimpy compared with the vastness of its subject, with the mesmerizing displays in high-end design stores and even with its own lavish catalog.
Skin is the perfect thematic focus for an examination of contemporary design and the increasing genius with which it accommodates, mimics, supplements and supplants human life.
These liability suits, assuming they go to trial, will almost certainly bring an examination of the design of the towers and a need to decide whether the structural composition of the floors explains why and how the towers fell.
The detailed examination of the design components and illustrations are presented and discussed.
This issue is considered through examination of the design and development of a microwave disinfecting system for contact lenses.
It also enables examination of alternative design solutions according to the various resistance levels that are predicted by the model.
