6. Physical Properties of Acidic Calcium Phosphate Cements
Abstract : The gold standard for bone replacement today, autologous bone, suffers from several disadvantages, such as the increased risk of infection due to the need for two surgeries. Degradable synthetic materials with properties similar to bone, such as calcium phosphate cements, are a promising alternative. READ MORE

7. Filter beds for on-site wastewater treatment : Towards more reliable estimations of phosphorus retention
Abstract : Phosphorus (P) is an important plant nutrient and essential for life. However, thephosphate rock used for fertilizer production is a non-renewable resource and itsproduction is expected to peak. At the same time, the discharge of P into naturalwaters is causing eutrophication, a severe problem in areas such as the Baltic Sea. READ MORE

8. Interaction of water with supplementary cementitious materials: Hydration mechanism, microstructure and moisture transport
Abstract : Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) offer a sustainable solution to reduce carbon emissions from the production of cement and concrete. This dissertation explores the impact of SCMs and the related additives on the hydration process of cementitious materials, which can affect their microstructure and transport properties. READ MORE

9. On enhancement of bone formation using local drug delivery systems
Abstract : Introduction: Despite that many reports have confirmed the long-term clinical success rates associated with implant treatment, implant failure to achieve and maintain osseointegration still occurs in many cases. Local and sustained drug release at the bone-implant interface is one of the strategies that have been suggested to improve the osseointegration. READ MORE

10. On healing of titanium implants in biphasic calcium phosphate
Abstract : Background: Previously, autogenous bone was considered the gold standard for grafting procedures in implant surgery. Today, the use of bone graft substitutes is an alternative for sinus lift procedures. Nevertheless, only a few bone substitutes are well documented and can be recommended as an alternative to autogenous bone grafts. READ MORE
