Use and validity of principles of extremum of entropy production in the study of complex systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is shown how both the principles of extremum of entropy production, which are often used in the study of complex systems, follow from the maximization of overall system conductivities, under appropriate constraints.

Numerical Analysis of the Influence of Empty Channels Design on Performance of Resin Flow in a Porous Plate

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
This numerical study aims to investigate the influence of I and T-shaped empty channels’ geometry on the filling time of resin in a rectangular porous enclosed mold, mimicking the main operating principle of a liquid resin infusion (LRI) process ...

Constructal Law of Institutions within Social Organizations

open access: yes, 2018
This work looked for a unifying theory between physical-biological domain and social sciences. Constructal law unified physical and biological domain by telling the general sense in which flow systems tend to evolve. Management theory looks for relations

Methylation biomarkers can distinguish pleural mesothelioma from healthy pleura and other pleural pathologies

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We developed and validated a DNA methylation–based biomarker panel to distinguish pleural mesothelioma from other pleural conditions. Using the IMPRESS technology, we translated this panel into a clinically applicable assay. The resulting two classifier models demonstrated excellent performance, achieving high AUC values and strong diagnostic accuracy.

Natural flow patterns and structured people dynamics: a constructal view [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Constructal theory that has been successfully applied to planetary circulations and climate and to river basin morphology is shown to provide a useful framework for describing flows of people. We showed here, with simple examples, that intuitive rules of

Predicting Epileptogenic Tubers in Patients With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Using a Fusion Model Integrating Lesion Network Mapping and Machine Learning

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Accurate localization of epileptogenic tubers (ETs) in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is essential but challenging, as these tubers lack distinct pathological or genetic markers to differentiate them from other cortical tubers.

Virtual or In‐Person: Does It Matter? Comparing Pain, Function, Quality of Life, Self‐Efficacy, and Physical Function Outcomes of Virtual, Hybrid, and In‐Person Education and Exercise Program Participants

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to determine if program format (in‐person, virtual, or hybrid) results in differences in 3‐month outcomes of pain, function, quality of life, self‐efficacy, and chair stands in a hip/knee osteoarthritis‐management program. Methods A secondary analysis of the Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) Canada database was
