Directed Navigation of Magnetotactic Bacteria via Magnetotaxis in a 3D Vasculature‐On‐A‐Chip
A perfusable vascular network is developed to investigate MTB at the single‐microorganism level. MTB is demonstrated to successfully align and navigate along the magnetic field inside the microvessels. Abstract Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), inherently motile and self‐powered, are promising biorobotic candidates for targeted anti‐cancer drug delivery ...

Does instrumentation and irrigation configuration affect intrarenal pressure during PCNL?
Abstract Objectives To measure the effects of varying configurations of nephroscope sheath, irrigation, instruments, and suction on intrarenal pressure (IRP) during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Materials and Methods Kidney and ureter 3D printed models from a deidentified patient's CT scan were placed in a plaster and foam mould, simulating the ...

ABSTRACT This study develops a high‐resolution regional seismic loss assessment framework for reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, focusing on direct losses due to bridge repair and replacement. Indirect losses tied to traffic downtime, business disruption, delayed recovery, etc., can also be attributed to bridge damage but are considered outside the ...

Relationships between lower-body muscle structure and, lower-body strength, explosiveness and eccentric leg stiffness in adolescent athletes [PDF]
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether any relationships were present between lower-body muscle structure and, lower-body strength, variables measured during a counter-movement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ), and eccentric leg ...

Strut-tie method of design and possible serviceability problems: an exploration by NLFE [PDF]
The strut and tie method presents a rational and consistent approach to the design of all parts in a reinforced concrete structure. With this approach, the load carrying mechanism of the structure is represented by approximating the compressive stress
