Universal scaling for the permeability of random packs of overlapping and nonoverlapping particles (2022)
Journal Article

Constraining fluid permeability in porous media is central to a wide range of theoretical, industrial, and natural processes. In this Letter, we validate a scaling for fluid permeability in random and lattice packs of spheres and show that the permea...

Shear-Driven Solidification and Nonlinear Elasticity in Epithelial Tissues (2022)
Journal Article

Biological processes, from morphogenesis to tumor invasion, spontaneously generate shear stresses inside living tissue. The mechanisms that govern the transmission of mechanical forces in epithelia and the collective response of the tissue to bulk sh...

The Permeability of Porous Volcanic Rock Through the Brittle‐Ductile Transition (2022)
Journal Article

The permeability of volcanic rock controls the distribution of pore fluids and pore fluid pressure within a volcanic edifice, and is therefore considered to influence eruptive style and volcano deformation. We measured the porosity and permeability o... Read More about The Permeability of Porous Volcanic Rock Through the Brittle‐Ductile Transition.

Permeate Flux in Ultrafiltration Processes—Understandings and Misunderstandings (2022)
Journal Article

Concentration polarization refers to the rapid emergence of concentration gradients at a membrane/solution interface resulting from selective transfer through the membrane. It is distinguishable from fouling in at least two ways: (1) the state of the... Read More about Permeate Flux in Ultrafiltration Processes—Understandings and Misunderstandings.

Lens Epithelial Cell Proliferation in Response to Ionizing Radiation (2021)
Journal Article

Lens epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation are naturally well regulated and controlled, a characteristic essential for lens structure, symmetry and function. The effect of ionizing radiation on lens epithelial cell proliferation has been... Read More about Lens Epithelial Cell Proliferation in Response to Ionizing Radiation.

How to overcome path dependency through resource reconfiguration (2022)
Journal Article

Firms reconfigure their resources when responding to changes in their external or internal environment, often by incorporating new knowledge and resources in collaboration with external stakeholders. However, the reconfiguration process is challengin... Read More about How to overcome path dependency through resource reconfiguration.

Contextualising the role of external partnerships to innovate the core and enabling processes of an organisation: A resource and knowledge-based view (2022)
Journal Article

The knowledge-based view (KBV) theory argues that organisations gain a competitive advantage by adopting strategies to capitalise on their knowledge resources, e.g., organisational culture, managerial decision-making and innovative new processes. Lar... Read More about Contextualising the role of external partnerships to innovate the core and enabling processes of an organisation: A resource and knowledge-based view.

Vesiculation of Rhyolitic Melts Under Oscillatory Pressure (2022)
Journal Article

Magma ascending in the Earth’s crust can undergo oscillations in pressure, from ultra-low frequency changes associated with tectonics, to relatively higher frequency oscillations associated with seismicity. Seismic waves travelling through shallow ma... Read More about Vesiculation of Rhyolitic Melts Under Oscillatory Pressure.

A model for managing returns in a circular economy context: A case study from the Indian electronics industry (2022)
Journal Article

The notion of a circular economy (CE) has recently gained significant attention, both in research and practice, due to increasing sustainability concerns and legislative requirements. Despite extensive research having been undertaken in this area, th... Read More about A model for managing returns in a circular economy context: A case study from the Indian electronics industry.

Variation of plagioclase shape with size in intermediate magmas: a window into incipient plagioclase crystallisation (2022)
Journal Article

Volcanic rocks commonly display complex textures acquired both in the magma reservoir and during ascent to the surface. While variations in mineral compositions, sizes and number densities are routinely analysed to reconstruct pre-eruptive magmatic h...

The “Magic Linker”: Highly Effective Gelation from Sterically Awkward Packing (2022)
Journal Article

Bis(urea)s based on the 4,4′-methylenebis(2,6-diethylphenylene) (4,4′-MDEP) spacer are highly effective low molecular weight gelators, and the first single crystal structure of a bis(urea) based on this spacer is reported.
