Effects of human-structure interaction in slabs [PDF]
, 2014 During the last several decades, stronger and lighter materials have been developed with the aim of optimizing performance and building costs. These technological advances have given rise to thin flexible flooring systems with natural frequencies that ...

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

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.

Interaction Phenomena to Be Accounted for Human-Induced Vibration Control of Lightweight Structures
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021 Inertial mass controllers, including passive, semi-active and active strategies, have been extensively used for canceling human-induced vibrations in lightweight pedestrian structures.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The medical burdens of sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion‐dependent β‐thalassemia (TDT) are chronic and cumulative, even in children. Yet the effects expand beyond medications and healthcare visits due to their impacts on school attendance, academic performance, and peer engagement.

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.
