Durotaxis in viscoelastic fluids [PDF]
Organisms often swim through fluids that are spatially inhomogeneous. If the fluids are polymeric, gradients in polymer concentration may lead to gradients in both fluid viscosity and elasticity. In this letter, we present theoretical results for the dynamics of active particles, biological or otherwise, swimming through spatially inhomogeneous ...

Mesoscale simulation model for odd fluids [PDF]
A fluid, with broken time-reversal symmetry, would exhibit odd transport coefficients, such as odd viscosity, thermal conductivity and diffusion coefficient, which may fundamentally alter the fluid properties and significantly influence the structure and dynamics of immersed objects.

Usefulness of bioelectrical impedance analysis for monitoring patients with refractory ascites [PDF]
Background: bioelectrical impedance analysis is a technique for the determination of the hydropic component. The hydropic component, determined by blood volume, could be a reflection of the hemodynamic situation.
