Eccentric Wear Mechanism and Centralizer Layout Design in 3D Curved Wellbores

Applied Sciences
In deep oil and gas wells, sucker rod strings (SRS) frequently experience breakage and eccentric wear problems. To address this engineering challenge, this study establishes a new coupled three-dimensional (3D) mechanical-mathematical model for sucker ...

The optimal synapse for sparse, binary signals in the rod pathway:Neural Computation [PDF]

, 2006
The sparsity of photons at very low light levels necessitates a nonlinear synaptic transfer function between the rod photoreceptors and the rod-bipolar cells.

Nonlocal theory of curved rods. 2-D, high order, Timoshenko’s and Euler-Bernoulli models

Curved and Layered Structures, 2017
New models for plane curved rods based on linear nonlocal theory of elasticity have been developed. The 2-D theory is developed from general 2-D equations of linear nonlocal elasticity using a special curvilinear system of coordinates related to the ...

Regularity of a Parabolic Differential Equation on Graphs

Mathematics, 2023
In this paper, motivated by a biodegradable stent problem, we consider a parabolic differential equation on graphs. This kind of equation describes the stent material degradation in time.

From line to dots: an improved computerised rod and frame system for testing subjective visual vertical and horizontal [PDF]

, 2010
Background Perception of subjective visual vertical (SVV) and horizontal (SVH) has traditionally been measured by rotating a mechanical rod either with or without a frame present. The computerised rod and frame (CRAF) system has previously only been used

Morphological change of coiled bacterium Spirosoma linguale with acquisition of β-lactam resistance

Scientific Reports, 2021
Spirosoma linguale is a gram-negative, coiled bacterium belonging to the family Cytophagaceae. Its coiled morphology is unique in contrast to closely related bacteria belonging to the genus Spirosoma, which have a short, rod-shaped morphology.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Early Clinical, Imaging, and Pathological Characteristics of SRPK3/TTN‐Digenic Myopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy was recently established as a skeletal muscle myopathy caused by digenic inheritance. This study characterizes the early clinical presentation of SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy in one previously reported and seven newly identified pediatric patients.

MOGAD Is the Most Common Cause of Isolated Optic Neuritis in Children

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The study aimed to characterize the clinical features, etiologies, and outcomes of isolated, first‐time pediatric ON in the post‐MOG‐IgG era. Methods This was a single‐center retrospective cohort study at Texas Children's Hospital of patients diagnosed with first‐time ON between 2018–2024, with follow‐up data collected through 2025.

Thermomechanical Fatigue and Creep–Fatigue Interaction of Inconel 718 Additively Manufactured by Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Thermomechanical fatigue tests of laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF‐LB) Inconel 718 show that the additively manufactured material reaches almost the lifetimes of conventionally‐rolled material under no‐dwell conditions. Introducing dwell times at the maximum temperature markedly reduces the lifetimes due to pronounced grain boundary sliding associated
