A closer look at interacting dark energy with statefinder hierarchy and growth rate of structure

, 2015
We investigate the interacting dark energy models by using the diagnostics of statefinder hierarchy and growth rate of structure. We wish to explore the deviations from $\Lambda$CDM and to differentiate possible degeneracies in the interacting dark ...

Does Long‐Term Lower Extremity Strength Training in Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis and Varus Alignment Reduce Knee Joint Loading During Gait?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

AdS/CFT on the brane

, 2010
It is widely recognized that the AdS/CFT correspondence is a useful tool to study strongly coupled field theories. On the other hand, Randall-Sundrum (RS) braneworld models have been actively discussed as a novel cosmological framework.

Thermoreflectance Detection of Point Defects Resulting from Focused Ion Beam Milling

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is a common tool for nanoscale material processing, however irradiation damage, redeposition, and contamination can occur. We use several characterization tools to show FIB‐induced effects beyond 1 mm from the milled area.

Modeling, validation and verification of three-dimensional cell-scaffold contacts from terabyte-sized images

BMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Background Cell-scaffold contact measurements are derived from pairs of co-registered volumetric fluorescent confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images (z-stacks) of stained cells and three types of scaffolds (i.e., spun coat, large microfiber, and

Multi-objective optimization and comparison of surrogate models for separation performances of cyclone separator based on CFD, RSM, GMDH-neural network, back propagation-ANN and genetic algorithm

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2020
Pressure drop (Δp) and collection efficiency (η) are used to evaluate the separation performance of the cyclone separator. In this study, we conducted comparative study of cyclone models using response surface methodology (RSM), back propagation neural ...

Comment on energy dependence of the slope parameter

, 2018
We discuss energy dependence of the slope parameter in elastic proton scattering. It is shown that unitarity generates energy dependence of the slope parameter in geometrical models consistent with the experimental results including recent LHC data ...
