Force stimulation promotes nerve regeneration by restoring cellular energy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Mechanical stimulation can help nerves regenerate in various ways. We developed two devices (a piezo‐motor‐driven stretching device and a SAW‐based actuator) to apply mechanical stimulation to sciatic nerve and DRG neurons. Our study shows that appropriate mechanical force stimulation can promote regeneration by restoring the energy supply to the ...

The use of positive and negative penalty functions in solving constrained optimization problems and partial differential equations

, 2009
The Rayleigh-Ritz Method together with the Penalty Function Method is used to investigate the use of different types of penalty parameters. The use of artificial springs as penalty parameters is a very well established procedure to model constraints in ...

Advances in causal discovery methods for ecological time series

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in data collection technologies (e.g. automated sensor networks, satellite remote sensing, and high‐throughput sequencing) have greatly expanded the availability of ecological time series, enabling new opportunities for causal analyses in dynamic ecosystems.

Hebbian Physics Networks: A self-organizing computational architecture based on local physical laws

Physical Review Research
Physical transport processes organize through local interactions that redistribute imbalance while preserving conservation. Classical solvers enforce this organization by applying fixed discrete operators on rigid grids.

Green’s functions for Sturm-Liouville problems on directed tree graphs. [PDF]

, 2012
Let Γ be geometric tree graph with m edges and consider the second order Sturm-Liouville operator L[u] = (−pu′) ′ +qu acting on functions that are continuous on all of Γ, and twice continuously differentiable in the interior of each edge.

Does Stakeholder Pressure Promote Green Innovations and Performance of Agribusiness Companies?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The sustainability of agribusiness companies is guided by multiple, sometimes paradoxical, interests. Green innovation is strategic for sustainable development; however, literature shows inconsistencies regarding its impact on environmental and economic‐financial performance.

Local integrability results in harmonic analysis on reductive groups in large positive characteristic

, 2014
Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over a non-Archimedean local field K, and let g be its Lie algebra. By a theorem of Harish-Chandra, if K has characteristic zero, the Fourier transforms of orbital integrals are represented on the set of ...

Evaluation of Governance, Environmental, Socioeconomic, and Financial Dimensions Through an Integrated Multicriteria Decision‐Making Approach

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable governance depends on the joint functioning of institutional quality, fiscal discipline, environmental performance, and socioeconomic inclusion. However, many composite indicators rely on subjective weighting schemes and leave the structural role of governance underspecified.

Applying the Rules of Evidence to Expert Testimony About Risk

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Expert opinion about dangerousness or risk is common at sentencing, criminal commitment proceedings and some types of pretrial detention hearings. This article argues that such evidence must be (1) “material” (logically relevant, empirically generalizable, and epistemologically germane), (2) “probative” (a measure of accuracy, which is ...
