A Mechanism of Polymer Induced Drag Reduction in Turbulent Pipe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Polymer induced drag reduction in turbulent pipe flow was investigated using a non-intrusive laser based diagnostic technique, namely Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV).

Simultaneous measurement of the microscopic dynamics and the mesoscopic displacement field in soft systems by speckle imaging

open access: yes, 2013
The constituents of soft matter systems such as colloidal suspensions, emulsions, polymers, and biological tissues undergo microscopic random motion, due to thermal energy.

Identification of PKN2 and MOB4 as Coordinators of Collective Cell Migration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
Through a genetic screen, PKN2 and MOB4 are identified as two proteins regulating the healing of an epithelial model wound. PKN2 promotes collective cell migration by maintaining the cohesion of cell monolayers from their lateral junctions, whereas MOB4 restrains collective cell migration and provides a lamellipodial cue for front‐rear polarity in ...

Curvy Surface Reconstruction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
This review introduces the concept of “general curvy surface reconstruction,” which incorporates both geometric and physical dimensions, representing an upgrade over conventional geometric reconstruction that focuses solely on spatial relationships. Particular emphasis is placed on the emerging opportunities enabled by advanced measurement techniques ...

Heart‐On‐a‐Chip with Integrated Ultrasoft Mechanosensors for Continuous Measurement of Cell‐ and Tissue‐Scale Contractile Stresses

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 9, 12 February 2026.
We present a heart‐on‐a‐chip platform embedded with ultrasoft mechanosensors for real‐time, multi‐scale stress mapping in engineered cardiac tissues. The system enables simultaneous quantification of local cell‐generated stresses and global tissue contractile forces.

Refractive-index and density matching in concentrated particle suspensions: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Optical measurement techniques such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) and laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) are now routinely used in experimental fluid mechanics to investigate pure fluids or dilute suspensions.

Surfzone Water Depth Estimation From Surface Flows Using a Data‐Driven and Physics‐Informed Deep Conditional Generative Model

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract A physics‐informed deep conditional generative model driven with remotely sensed surface currents is shown to estimate surfzone water depths (bathymetry). The model encodes measured flow data as latent Gaussian parameters and decodes these distributions to estimate water depths over the domain, progressively refining its predictions via a loss‐

An In Vitro Investigation of the Impact of Ultrasound Induced‐Streaming Motions on the Flow Inside Lateral Features of the Root Canal

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 310-319, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The study aims to experimentally characterize the flow inside lateral canals during ultrasonic irrigation. The effect of the canal angle as well as the relative position of the endodontic file with the inlet of the channel was quantified. Methodology An idealized endodontic geometry was 3D printed and used as a mould to fabricate a channel

Traction force generation in Plasmodium sporozoites is modulated by a surface adhesin

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 2, Page 267-279, February 2026.
Abstract Plasmodium sporozoites are the highly polarised and motile forms of the malaria parasite transmitted by mosquitoes to the vertebrate hosts. Sporozoites use myosin motors to generate retrograde flow of actin filaments. These are linked to plasma membrane spanning adhesins, which in turn bind to the extracellular environment, resulting in ...
