Residual Stress Distribution in the Bovine Femoral Diaphysis Measured by Synchrotron

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2011
The presence of residual stresses in bone tissue has been noted, and the authors have reported that there are residual stresses in bone tissue. The tensile residual stresses in the bone axial direction on the cortical surface of the bovine femoral ...

Field Analysis of Stepwise Effective Thermal Conductivity along a Borehole Heat Exchanger under Artificial Conditions of Groundwater Flow

Hydrology, 2017
Heat advection caused by groundwater flow can potentially improve the performance of a borehole heat exchanger. However, the required flow velocity is not achieved under most natural conditions. This study focuses on artificial groundwater flow generated

Requirements engineering for human activity systems [PDF]

INCOSE International Symposium, 2014
AbstractThe paper explores the use of requirements engineering techniques and principles for the description of social systems. The scope is limited to only defining requirements for the system‐of‐interest, thus excluding any attempt to design the system.

Streaming Potential of White Matter and Gray Matter in Bovine Spinal Cord under Compressive Loading

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009
The spinal cord is mainly composed of white matter and gray matter which consist of solid and liquid phases. When the tissue deforms, the liquid phase in the tissue flows out through between the solid phases.

Detection of circadian rhythm disturbance of carbachol-induced beta wave dynamics in rat hippocampal slices using neural networks

SICE Journal of Control, Measurement, and System Integration, 2023
Rats exhibit a circadian rhythm of locomotor activity. Recently, the relation between circadian rhythm and memory has been elucidated. Brain waves are related to memory processes and are modulated by circadian rhythm.

Microstructure of Bone Around Natural Hole in Bovine Lumbar Vertebra

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2007
Naturally occurring holes in bone called foramina are not detected as region of crack initiation or growth. Lumbar vertebrae, which are subjected to complex external loads, have considerable number of such big and small foramina.

Study of local intracellular signals regulating axonal morphogenesis using a microfluidic device

Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2016
The establishment and maintenance of axonal patterning is crucial for neuronal function. To identify the molecular systems that operate locally to control axonal structure, it is important to manipulate molecular functions in restricted subcellular areas

Mechanical Properties of Isolated Primary Cilia Measured by Micro-tensile Test and Atomic Force Microscopy

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Mechanotransduction is a well-known mechanism by which cells sense their surrounding mechanical environment, convert mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals, and eventually change their morphology and functions.

Effect of Gradual Demineralization on the Mineral Fraction and Mechanical Properties of Cortical Bone

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009
Bone is often regarded as a composite material consisting of hydroxyapatite (HAp-like) mineral particles, organic matrix (mostly Type I collagen) and water phases in microscopic scale.
