The growth factor of matter perturbations in an f(R) gravity [PDF]
Eur.Phys.J.C68:271-276,2010, 2010 The growth of matter perturbations in the $f(R)$ model proposed by Starobinsky is studied in this paper. Three different parametric forms of the growth index are considered respectively and constraints on the model are obtained at both the $1\sigma$ and $2\sigma$ confidence levels, by using the current observational data for the growth factor.

Role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of tissue fibrosis in systemic sclerosis. [PDF]
, 2010 The most severe clinical and pathologic manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc) are the result of a fibrotic process characterized by the excessive and often progressive deposition of collagen and other connective tissue macromolecules in skin and ...

Growth induced instabilities in a circular hyperelastic plate [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this work, we have explored growth-induced mechanical instability in an isotropic circular hyperelastic plate. Consistent two-dimensional governing equations for a plate under a general finite strain are derived using a variational approach. The derived plate equations are solved using the compound matrix method for two cases of axisymmetric growth ...
