Concentration and pH Influence on the Reducing Property of Silk Fibroin from Silk Fibrous Waste in the Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Wilson Agudelo, Yuliet Montoya, Alejandra Garcia-Garcia, John Bustamante

“…The results showed that SFw behaves as a reducing matrix and micellar structure, which favored the formation and obtainment of silver nanoparticles with colloidal stability, particle diameters, and defined morphologies. These aspects were evidenced through the identification of the characteristic surface plasmon resonance of the silver ion, the determination of the particle diameter, the electrokinetic potential, and the identification of the functional groups because of the oxidation of the reducing agent.…”

Interaction between Flow Diverter and Parent Artery of Intracranial Aneurysm: A Computational Study by Wenyu Fu, Qixiao Xia

“…The results indicate that the average contact pressure in the area of low porosity is 57 mmHg using the push-pull technique, and the average contact pressure of the parent artery is 10.45 mmHg using the non-push-pull technique. The diameter of the parent artery at the aneurismal orifice increased about 0.2 mm when using the push-pull technique, so the elasticity of the vessel should be considered in the mechanical analysis of interaction between stent and vessel.…”
