Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

A fast algorithm to racetrack filter multiaxial histories preserving load shape [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 A fast algorithm is presented to implement a multiaxial version of the racetrack amplitude filter, improved upon the authors’ previous works. The algorithm only requires a single user-defined scalar filter amplitude to eliminate noise and potentially non-

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Here, we present a novel 3D cell patterning and culture platform. The “Floor‐Ceiling‐Chip” (FC‐Chip) consists of two opposing track‐etched membranes, creating a pseudo‐3D microenvironment for the cells in between. By providing the membranes with micropatterned cell‐adhesive islands of varying geometries and sizes, the FC‐Chip enables control over cell ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Triply‐twinned architected lattices transform deformation from bending to stretching of struts, delivering up to threefold increases in stiffness and strength across polymeric and metallic systems. High‐resolution synchrotron XCT and image‐based simulations reveal how meta‐grain architecture, defects, and AM build orientation govern failure pathways ...

A Cross-Linguistic Preference For Torso Stability In The Lexicon: Evidence From 24 Sign Languages [PDF]
, 2016 When the arms move in certain ways, they can cause the torso to twist or rock. Such extraneous torso movement is undesirable, especially during sign language communication, when torso position may carry linguistic significance, so we expend effort to ...
