Modelling Cochlear Mechanics [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2014 The cochlea plays a crucial role in mammal hearing. The basic function of the cochlea is to map sounds of different frequencies onto corresponding characteristic positions on the basilar membrane (BM). Sounds enter the fluid-filled cochlea and cause deflection of the BM due to pressure differences between the cochlear fluid chambers.

Models, Mechanisms, and Coherence [PDF]
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2015 Life-science phenomena are often explained by specifying the mechanisms that bring them about. The new mechanistic philosophers have done much to substantiate this claim, and to provide us with a better understanding of what mechanisms are and how they explain.

Motion of an Unbalanced Impact Body Colliding with a Moving Belt
Mathematics, 2021 In the field of mechanical engineering, conveyors and moving belts are frequently used machine parts. In many working regimes, they are subjected to sudden loading, which can be a source of irregular motion in the impacting bodies and undesirable ...

Modeling Riverbank Slope Reinforcement Using Anti-Slide Piles with Geocells
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Geocells are increasingly used in engineering applications, but the design of riverbank slope reinforcements that use only geocells limits reinforcement performance.

Shear and punching shear according to the Critical Shear Crack Theory: background, recent developments and integration in codes [PDF]
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2023 The Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT) has been developed since 1985 to assess the shear resistance of members without shear reinforcement and the punching shear resistance of reinforced concrete slabs in a rational manner.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The discovery of slow earthquakes illuminates the existence of a strange depth dependence of seismogenesis, which contradicts the common understanding of smooth brittle/seismic‐ductile/aseismic transition as going deeper into the earth's surface layers ...

Models and Mechanisms of Stomatal Mechanics
Trends in Plant Science, 2018 The mechanism of stomatal function (control of gas flux through the plant surface via regulation of pore size) is fundamentally mechanical. The material properties of the pore-forming guard cells must play a key role in setting the dynamics and degree of stomatal opening/closure, but our understanding of the molecular players involved and resultant ...
