The mechanical response of a creased sheet [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 We investigate the mechanics of thin sheets decorated by non-interacting creases. The system considered here consists in parallel folds connected by elastic panels.

The mechanical response of vinculin. [PDF]
Sci AdvVinculin is a mechanosensitive adaptor that links actin to cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesions. Known as a mechanoeffector, it is recruited to adhesion sites under force via mechanotransducers talin and α-catenin. Here, we examine vinculin’s mechanical properties to assess its role as a mechanotransducer.

The mechanical response of talin [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractTalin, a force-bearing cytoplasmic adapter essential for integrin-mediated cell adhesion, links the actin cytoskeleton to integrin-based cell–extracellular matrix adhesions at the plasma membrane. Its C-terminal rod domain, which contains 13 helical bundles, plays important roles in mechanosensing during cell adhesion and spreading.

Imperfect Best-Response Mechanisms [PDF]
Theory of Computing Systems, 2013 Best-response mechanisms (Nisan, Schapira, Valiant, Zohar, 2011) provide a unifying framework for studying various distributed protocols in which the participants are instructed to repeatedly best respond to each others' strategies. Two fundamental features of these mechanisms are convergence and incentive compatibility.

Molecular Mechanisms for the Mechanical Modulation of Airway Responsiveness [PDF]
Journal of Engineering and Science in Medical Diagnostics and Therapy, 2019 The smooth muscle of the airways is exposed to continuously changing mechanical forces during normal breathing. The mechanical oscillations that occur during breathing have profound effects on airway tone and airway responsiveness both in experimental animals and humans in vivo and in isolated airway tissues in vitro.

Influence of Modulus of Base Layer on The Strain Distribution for Asphalt Pavement
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2021 In order to investigate the influence of modulus of the base layer on the strain distribution for asphalt pavement, the modulus ratio of the base layer and the AC layer (Rm) is introduced as a controlled variable when keeping modulus of the AC layer as a
