I am creating a medical scaffold made out of TPU to surgically implant around the pancreas for diabetic patients. The scaffold will have have capsules of islet beta cells which will diffuse into the pancreas to create a functional pancreas.
I will use the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) technique to determine the specific surface area and porosity of the scaffold material. In the context of the TPU scaffold, the BET technique will provide crucial insights into its porosity and its potential to facilitate the infusion of beta cells into the pancreas.
Can you explain the expected/ideal results from the BET test and how the test will help the design process of this medical scaffold.

A new mother notices that one of her newborn twins has a yellow-orange complexion. Fearful that the child may have jaundice (a condition caused by bilirubin, a toxic yellow-orange pigment produced during the destruction of red blood cells), she takes him to her pediatrician. After examining the child and noting that his bilirubin levels are normal, the pediatrician declares him perfectly healthy and advises the mother to watch the child’s diet. Why? The other twin suffers from bluish coloration of this skin condition known as cyanosis (bluish tint). What can cause cyanosis?
