Effect of Intraluminal Thrombus Burden on the Risk of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a critical health disorder, where the abdominal aorta dilates more than 50% of its normal diameter. Enlargement in abdominal aorta alters the hemodynamics and flow-induced forces on the AAA wall.

Morphological responses of plant roots to mechanical stress.
Background Roots are continuously exposed to mechanical pressure and this often results in their morphological modification. Most obvious are changes in the overall form of the root system as well as in the shapes of particular roots.

The Role of Mechanical Stresses in Angiogenesis [PDF]
Angiogenesis is the formation of new capillary blood vessels from preexisting vessels. It is involved in many normal and diseased conditions, as well as in the application of tissue-engineered products. There has been extensive effort made to develop strategies for controlling pathological angiogenesis and for promoting vascularization in biomedical ...

Split sleeve cold expansion of AZ31B sheet: Microstructure, texture and residual stress
Despite magnesium limited formability at room temperature, split sleeve hole cold expansion of AZ31B sheet was successfully implemented. Microstructural analysis showed greater hardness in the immediate vicinity of the notch, which was due to high ...

Grid Services and Stress Reduction with a Flywheel in the Rotor of a Wind Turbine
Wind power penetration increases in most grids and the sizes of wind turbines increase. This leads to increasingly tough requirements, which are imposed on wind turbines, both from the grid as well as from economics. Some of these partially contradictory

Mechanical stress and hypertrophy [PDF]
There is accumulating evidence that mechanical stress on the left ventricle is a significant trigger for left ventricular hypertrophy. It has been known for sometime that mechanical stress activates a number of protein kinases and reprogramming of gene expression in the myocardium. A recent study has shown that there is a link between mechanical stress

Self-induced mechanical stress can trigger biofilm formation in uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Bacterial biofilms represent an important medical problem; however, the mechanisms of the onset of biofilm formation are poorly understood. Here, using new controlled methods allowing high-throughput and reproducible biofilm growth, we show that biofilm ...
