Swelling‐Programmed Topographical Guidance for Dynamic Spheroid Self‐Assembly via a Mechanochemical Hydrogel Niche

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A swelling‐programmed micropatterned hydrogel guides adherent cells through a controlled transition from cell–matrix anchoring to cadherin‐mediated cell–cell compaction, enabling rapid assembly of high‐viability spheroids with defined size and morphology.

Constraining The Hubble Parameter Using Distance Modulus - Redshift Relation [PDF]

, 2013
Using the relation between distance modulus $(m - M)$ and redshift $z$, deduced from Friedman- Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric and assuming different values of deceleration parameter $q_0$. We constrained the Hubble parameter $h$. The estimates of the Hubble parameters we obtained using the median values of the data obtained from NASA Extragalactic ...

Determination of Peat Elasticity Modulus (Constrained Modulus) Based on Field Measurement Using Simplified Consolidation Model [PDF]

Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports, 2018
The article presents methods to determine the peat elasticity modulus based on settlement measurement of the preloaded embankment. The author proposes two methods: the first does not take into consideration the strengthening of the soil as a result of the settlement and the second includes the strengthening process of soil related to the settlement ...

From Geometry to Function: Programmable Mechanical Response in 3D‐Printed Adipose‐Inspired Soft Metamaterials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Geometry‐driven design of soft cellular metamaterials is systematically investigated by combining experiments, finite element modeling, and statistical prediction. The study quantifies how unit cell geometry and material properties govern stiffness, instability, densification, and energy absorption.
