Structure-stiffness relation of live mouse brain tissue determined by depth-controlled indentation mapping

, 2018
The mechanical properties of brain tissue play a pivotal role in neurodevelopment and neurological disorders. Yet, at present, there is no consensus on how the different structural parts of the tissue contribute to its stiffness variations. Here, we have

Porous Titanium surfaces to control bacteria growth: mechanical properties and sulfonated polyetheretherketone coating as antibiofounling approaches [PDF]

, 2019
Here, titanium porous substrates were fabricated by a space holder technique. The relationship between microstructural characteristics (pore equivalent diameter, mean free-path between pores, roughness and contact surface), mechanical properties (Young’s

COORDINATED PHENOMENA IN THE MARINE DEMOSPONGE CHONDROSIA RENIFORMIS: PHYSIOLOGICAL, MORPHOLOGICAL, BIOMECHANICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS.

, 2014
Although sponges (phylum Porifera) are still often considered to be simple, inactive animals, both larvae and adults of different species show clear coordination phenomena triggered by both extrinsic and intrinsic stimuli. Moreover although sponges lack a nervous system, they show a range of behavioural responses that are affected by exogenously ...

Mucus and ciliated cells of human lung : splitting strategies for particle methods and 3D stokes flows [PDF]

, 2012
Lung walls are covered by a film of mucus, whose motility is fundamental for a healthy behavior. Indeed, mucus traps inhaled aerosols (bacteria, dust, ...), and moves from smallest to largest airways, until it reaches esophagus where is it swallowed or ...

Pattern selection in a biomechanical model for the growth of walled cells [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper, we analyse a model for the growth of three-dimensional walled cells. In this model the biomechanical expansion of the cell is coupled with the geometry of its wall. We consider that the density of building material depends on the curvature

Human centred manufacturing: methodology for ergonomic previsional evaluation of manual assembly operations [PDF]

, 2013
The challenge of flexibility and productivity for manufacturing operations needs a new concept based on “human-centered manufacturing process”. This concept must consider basically the ergonomics of workplaces and workload balancing.

Development of a quantitative assessment for abnormal flexor synergy index in patients with stroke: a validity and responsiveness study

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background Arm-lifting movements (shoulder flexion) are essential for upper extremity rehabilitation after a stroke. Abnormal flexor synergy (elbow flexion) is frequently observed during shoulder flexion, impeding functional improvement.

Effect of variations in the ergonomic parameters of an airplane seat on the biomechanical phenomena and muscular actions associated with the sit-to-stand transfer

, 2018
Le transfert assis-debout est une des activités journalières les plus courantes, prérequis à la marche et crucial pour l'autonomie. Cette tâche nécessite une coordination importante entre les mouvements des segments corporels, et donc des activités musculaires.

Establishing Normative Values for the Supination Resistance Test: An International Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research
Background The supination resistance test quantifies the force required to supinate the foot and ankle. Although it demonstrates good to excellent intra‐ and inter‐rater reliability and shows potential for predicting foot and ankle biomechanics during ...
