The experimental results were well correlated with the dispersion model using glass beads or expanded plastic meshes as turbulence promoters, which have shown the most advantageous performance.
A single 1.5 mm expanded plastic spacer (S1.5) produced a maximum power density (973 ± 26 mW m−2) that was similar to that of an MFC with the cathode exposed directly to air (no spacer).
Prior to differentiation experiments, fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis confirmed that the expanded, plastic adherent cells were positive for the surface markers CD73 and CD90, but negative for CD11b, CD19, CD34, CD45 and HLA-DR (data not shown).
Kudos to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg for expanding plastics recycling and carrying out new food-waste recycling programs.
From the living room, I could hear the hum of the Volcano and the crinkle of the expanding plastic bag.
Though the other devices were found the following day, when an employee noticed an expanding plastic bottle on the tarmac, investigators said all the bombs had been placed at the airport on Sunday night.
"Whether it is a kid playing with an expanding plastic ball or someone watching one of our large structures, there is an experience of transformation that is physical, perceptual and intellectual".
It comes, transfigured, from the wrecked dreams of communal living, of back-to-the-land utopias, of expanding plastic spheres and geodesic domes that populated the landscape of Northern California around the time (and around the same place) that the first semiconductors were being perfected.
Advances in stent design and technology have resulted in more varieties of stents like the fully covered and removable metallic stents as well as self expanding plastic stents.
