Multiscale Modeling Approach of Slot Die Coating of Unidirectional Glass Fiber Fabric

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
2D macroscale and microscale computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models are combined in a multiscale approach to develop a model for slot die coating of glass fiber (GF) fabrics in cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) dispersion as a sizing. For slot die coating models with and without vacuum assist, the model is able to predict stable operating parameters which ...

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.
