Acute Effects of Smoking and Vaping on Markers of Vascular Function via Quantitative MRI
ABSTRACT Background E‐cigarettes contribute to endothelial dysfunction, a known cause of systemic atherosclerotic disease that cannot be adequately characterized by a single physiological parameter measured at a single vascular bed. Purpose/Hypothesis Quantify and compare acute effects of smoking or vaping with tobacco cigarettes (t‐cigs), nicotinized ...

Finite Element Analysis of Upper Airway in Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
We developed a subject‐specific FE model to investigate how ACS stabilizes the upper airway in OSA. Simulations demonstrate that caudal traction applied through the hyolaryngeal complex produces coordinated multilevel airway stabilization, with pronounced effects at the retropalatal and retro‐epiglottic regions under physiologic loading.

Experimental Study on Polymer–Polymer Interfacial Thermal Resistance
Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) in polymer–polymer interfaces is experimentally measured in this paper by the multi‐layered bulk sample approach. Based on numerical simulation and experimental verification, new techniques of layer‐overlapping samples are developed.

Incompressible and pairwise incompressible surfaces in alternating link complements
Let L be a non-split, prime, alternating link in the 3-sphere S^3, and S an incompressible, pairwise incompressible surface in (S^3, L). Menasco showed that S is a sphere if S intersects L in six or smaller number of points in [2]. He also showed how S intersects L and the projection sphere. We consider a surface S intersecting L in eight points.

On Geometric Phase Model in the Theory of Curves With Myller Configuration
ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a linearly polarized light wave in an optical fiber and rotation of the polarization plane through the Frenet‐type frame with Myller configuration. Since the geometric evaluation and interpretations of a polarized light wave are associated with geometric phase, a new type of geometric phase model has been ...
