A Multiphase Model of Growth Factor-Regulated Atherosclerotic Cap Formation [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Atherosclerosis is characterised by the growth of fatty plaques in the inner (intimal) layer of the artery wall. In mature plaques, vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are recruited from the adjacent medial layer to deposit a cap of fibrous collagen over the fatty plaque core.

Utilizing polydispersity in composite fibrous based sound absorbing materials [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The distribution of fiber diameters plays a crucial role in the transport and sound absorbing properties of a three-dimensional random fibrous (3D-RF) composites. Conventionally, volume-weighted averaging of fiber diameters has been utilized as an appropriate microstructural descriptor to predict the static viscous permeability of 3D-RF composites ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The rise of lead halide perovskite semiconductors has enabled high‐performance LEDs with internal quantum efficiencies approaching 100%. In order to further enhance the external quantum efficiencies limited by light outcoupling effects, in this account, the strategies for reducing energy dissipation through the substrate, waveguide, and evanescent ...

A Comparative Study of Cohesive Zone Models for Predicting Delamination Behaviors of Arterial Wall [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Arterial tissue delamination, manifested as the failure between arterial layers, is a critical process in the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque, leading to potential life-threatening clinical consequences. Numerous models have been used to characterize the arterial tissue delamination. Few has investigated the effect of Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) shapes

The role of shape disorder in the collective behaviour of aligned fibrous matter [PDF]
, 2018 We study the compression of bundles of aligned macroscopic fibers with intrinsic shape disorder, as found in human hair and in many other natural and man-made systems. We show by a combination of experiments, numerical simulations and theory how the statistical properties of the shapes of the fibers control the collective mechanical behaviour of the ...
