CALCULATION OF CHEMICAL ATMOSPHERE ESTIMATION GIVEN THE COMPLEX TERRAIN
Nauka ta progres transportu, 2010 The 3D numerical model was used to simulate the toxic gas dispersion over a complex terrain after an accident spillage. The model is based on the K-gradient transport model and the model of potential flow.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The photothermally powered microgel is designed to mechanically train mesenchymal stem cells using spatially patterned exogenous forces in three‐dimensional (3D) workspaces. When microgels are activated selectively via photothermal actuation, locally confined tens of nN forces are exerted on cells, triggering osteogenic differentiation in encapsulated ...

Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic
