Effect of Heat on Muscle Protein Detection by Gel Electrophoresis

Imaging Techniques for Measuring Different Types of Wound Closure Techniques during Uniaxial Tension

Name: Moses Tam

Class: BE 210

Hypotheses

The primary hypothesis is that the normal strain values of synthetic sutures, staples, and adhesives will be significantly different to each other.
The secondary hypothesis is that the normal strain values of staples will be significantly less than the other two wound closure techniques.

Objectives

To understand the experimental approaches and techniques needed to estimate displacement data and derive strains for simple uniaxial loading.
To become familiar with the experimental challenges of using image data acquisition of deformation analysis.
To develop methods for defining mechanical performance criteria and testing their applicability for a real-life scenario.
To become familiar with the use of ANOVA and one tailed t-tests for statistical analysis.
