Fabrication of biodegradable polymer scaffolds to engineer trabecular bone

RC Thomson, MJ Yaszemski, JM Powers… - Journal of Biomaterials …, 1996 - Taylor & Francis
We present a novel method for manufacturing three-dimensional, biodegradable poly(DLlactic-co-glycolic
acid) (PLGA) foam scaffolds for use in bone regeneration. The technique …

Observation of a localized flat-band state in a photonic Lieb lattice

…, N Goldman, P Öhberg, E Andersson, RR Thomson - Physical review …, 2015 - APS
We demonstrate the first experimental realization of a dispersionless state, in a photonic
Lieb lattice formed by an array of optical waveguides. This engineered lattice supports three …

[BOOK][B] The European union decides

R Thomson, FN Stokman, CH Achen, T König - 2006 - books.google.com
European legislation affects countless aspects of daily life in modern Europe but just how
does the European Union make such significant legislative decisions? How important are the …

Hydroxyapatite fiber reinforced poly (α-hydroxy ester) foams for bone regeneration

RC Thomson, MJ Yaszemski, JM Powers, AG Mikos - Biomaterials, 1998 - Elsevier
A process has been developed to manufacture biodegradable composite foams of poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic
acid) (PLGA) and hydroxyapatite short fibers for use in bone regeneration. …

Social information use is a process across time, space, and ecology, reaching heterospecifics

…, JT Forsman, M Mönkkönen, RL Thomson - Ecology, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Decision making can be facilitated by observing other individuals faced with the same or
similar problem, and recent research suggests that this social information use is a widespread …

[BOOK][B] Resolving controversy in the European Union: Legislative decision-making before and after enlargement

R Thomson - 2011 - books.google.com
Robert Thomson examines more than 300 controversial issues in the EU from the past
decade and describes many cases of controversial decision-making as well as rigorous …

[HTML][HTML] The western painted turtle genome, a model for the evolution of extreme physiological adaptations in a slowly evolving lineage

…, P Minx, DE Warren, AM Shedlock, RC Thomson… - Genome biology, 2013 - Springer
Background We describe the genome of the western painted turtle, Chrysemys picta bellii,
one of the most widespread, abundant, and well-studied turtles. We place the genome into a …

[HTML][HTML] Experimental observation of anomalous topological edge modes in a slowly driven photonic lattice

…, P Öhberg, N Goldman, RR Thomson - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Topological quantum matter can be realized by subjecting engineered systems to time-periodic
modulations. In analogy with static systems, periodically driven quantum matter can be …

The photonic lantern

…, SG Leon-Saval, RR Thomson - Advances in Optics …, 2015 - opg.optica.org
Photonic lanterns are made by adiabatically merging several single-mode cores into one
multimode core. They provide low-loss interfaces between single-mode and multimode systems…

Relational mobility predicts social behaviors in 39 countries and is tied to historical farming and threat

R Thomson, M Yuki, T Talhelm… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Biologists and social scientists have long tried to understand why some societies have more
fluid and open interpersonal relationships and how those differences influence culture. This …
