Galloping-based energy harvester considering enclosure effect

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2018
A galloping-based energy harvester, which is surrounded by structure(s) such as an enclosure, has an aerodynamic force change due to a change in flow caused by movement of the bluff body against the structure(s).

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Modeling of indentation and slip of wedge punch

open access: yesИнженерно-строительный журнал, 2017
To determine the load-carrying capacity of the drillpipe slip, it is necessary to calculate the drag force on the surface between the pipe and the slip. To improve such capacity, the grip surface is provided with teeth that can indent into the pipe body.

Revisiting the flight dynamics of take-off of a butterfly: experiments and CFD simulations for a cabbage white butterfly

open access: yesBiology Open, 2022
We conducted measurements of the taking-off motion of a butterfly (Pieris rapae) and numerical simulations using a computational model reflecting its motion.

Body-force modelling in thermal compressible flows with the lattice Boltzmann method

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023
Body-force modelling in the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been studied extensively in the incompressible limit but rarely discussed for thermal compressible flows. Here we present a systematic approach of incorporating body force in the LBM which is valid for thermal compressible and non-equilibrium flows.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Theory-based benchmarking of the blended force-based quasicontinuum method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We formulate an atomistic-to-continuum coupling method based on blending atomistic and continuum forces. Our precise choice of blending mechanism is informed by theoretical predictions. We present a range of numerical experiments studying the accuracy of

Implementation of a Body Force Model in OVERFLOW for Propulsor Simulations [PDF]

open access: yes35th AIAA Applied Aerodynamics Conference, 2017
We present an implementation of a propulsor model based on body force method into the OVERFLOW computational fluid dynamics code to model turbofan engines and propulsors of similar type. The model estimates the forces imparted on the fluid by the blade camber surfaces as a body force source terms in the momentum and energy equations over grids that ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.
