Ectopic localization of neural crest cells: etiological factor of scoliosis
Хирургия позвоночника, 2015 Objective. To identify cell phenotypes in vertebral body growth plates from patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Material and Methods. Cells were isolated from vertebral body growth plates both on convex and concave sides of the de- formity in 50 ...

The Blocking Numbers of Convex Bodies [PDF]
Discrete & Computational Geometry, 2000 The blocking number \(b(K)\) of a convex body \(K\) in Euclidean \(n\)-space \(\mathbb{R}^n\) is defined as the smallest possible number of disjoint translates of \(K\) which touch from outside the boundary of \(K\) and which prevent any additional disjoint translate of \(K\) from touching \(K\) from outside.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

A convex body with chaotic random convex hull [PDF]
, 2013 The asymptotic behavior of the size of the convex hull of uniformly random points in a convex body in Rd is known for polytopes and smooth convex bodies. These are the lower and the upper bound for a general convex body.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

Polytopes and $C^1$-convex bodies [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2014 The face numbers of simplicial polytopes that approximate $C^1$-convex bodies in the Hausdorff metric is studied. Several structural results about the skeleta of such polytopes are studied and used to derive a lower bound theorem for this class of ...

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

Packing Convex Bodies by Cylinders [PDF]
Discrete & Computational Geometry, 2016 In [BL] in relation to the unsolved Bang's plank problem (1951) we obtained a lower bound for the sum of relevant measures of cylinders covering a given d-dimensional convex body. In this paper we provide the packing counterpart of these estimates. We also extend bounds to the case of r-fold covering and packing and show a packing analog of Falconer's ...

On Mixed-Integer Random Convex Programs [PDF]
, 2012 We consider a class of mixed-integer optimization problems subject to N randomly drawn convex constraints. We provide explicit bounds on the tails of the probability that the optimal solution found under these N constraints will become infeasible for the
