Function based control for bilateral systems in tele-micromanipulation [PDF]
, 2008 Design of a motion control system should take into account (a) unconstrained motion performed without interaction with environment or any other system, and (b) constrained motion with system in contact with environment or other systems.

Spermatozoa scattering by a microchannel feature: an elastohydrodynamic model [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Sperm traverse their microenvironment through viscous fluid by propagating flagellar waves; the waveform emerges as a consequence of elastic structure, internal active moments and low Reynolds number fluid dynamics. Engineered microchannels have recently

Numerical Simulation of the Early Stages of Glaucoma in Human Eye [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation Sciences and Research, 2020 Background: The eye is one of the most vital organs of human body, and glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness after cataracts in the world. However, glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness. The main objective of this study is to

Time-Dependent Fluid-Structure Interaction Simulations of a Simplified Human Soft Palate
Bioengineering, 2023 Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep-related disorder. It is characterized by recurrent partial or total collapse of pharyngeal upper airway accompanied by induced vibrations of the soft tissues (e.g., soft palate).

Modelling Human-Structure Interaction in Sideways Fall for Hip Impact Force Estimation
International Journal of Technology, 2022 Sideways fall-induced hip fracture is a primary global health concern among the elderly. Existing impact models for predicting peak hip impact force mostly consider the human body-related parameters rather than impact surface parameters.

Reconstructing directed and weighted topologies of phase-locked oscillator networks [PDF]
, 2016 The formalism of complex networks is extensively employed to describe the dynamics of interacting agents in several applications. The features of the connections among the nodes in a network are not always provided beforehand, hence the problem of ...

Crystal structure of rhodopsin bound to arrestin by femtosecond X-ray laser. [PDF]
, 2015 G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) signal primarily through G proteins or arrestins. Arrestin binding to GPCRs blocks G protein interaction and redirects signalling to numerous G-protein-independent pathways.

Development of the cat-owner relationship scale (CORS) [PDF]
, 2017 Characteristics of the human-animal bond can be influenced by both owner-related and pet-related factors, which likely differ between species. Three studies adapted the Monash Dog-Owner Relationship Scale (MDORS) to permit assessment of human-cat ...

Crystal structure of human NLRP12 PYD domain and implication in homotypic interaction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 NLRP12 is a NOD-like receptor that plays multiple roles in both inflammation and tumorigenesis. Despite the importance, little is known about its mechanism of action at the molecular level.
