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 ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Recently, some improvements of the generic BE/BE coupling algorithm based on Krylov's solvers, proposed by the first author of this paper and outlined in previous papers, were carried out by including discontinuous boundary elements in the BE code.

Special wave finite and infinite elements for the solution of the Helmholtz equation [PDF]
The theory and the formulation of the special wave finite elements are discussed, and the special integration schemes for the elements are developed.

This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

BOUNDARY ELEMENTS MODELLING FOR SMALL/LARGE STRAIN ANALYSIS OF ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS
In this paper the boundary elements method is used as numerical techniques for solving elastomeric materials (rubber or rubber-like materials) under small and large strains analysis.

Enrichment of the Boundary Element Method through the Partition of Unity Method for Fracture Analysis using Local and Global Formulations [PDF]
The present thesis proposes an innovative technique of applying enrichment to the Boundary Element Method to allow accurate analysis of 2D crack problems. An overview of fracture mechanics is given, with particular emphasis given to numerical methods and

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
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.

On boundary layer in the Mindlin plate model: Levy plates [PDF]
This work is related to the bending problem of thick rectangular Levy plates. Series solution for the Mindlin (thick) plate model is obtained and represented as a sum of the Kirchhoff (thin) plate model solution, the ``shear terms'' and the ``boundary ...
