Seamless integration of sewer system topology and tree location data: An algorithm to diagnose the potential impact of tree roots on pipes and propose rearrangement solutions

Heliyon
Wastewater networks are subject to several threats leading to wastewater leakages and public health hazards. External elements such as natural factors and human activities are common causes of wastewater leakages and require more in-depth analysis ...

Analysis of traveling wheel on loose sandy soil (Sandy soil flow beneath a wheel due to the interaction)

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
Soil-vehicle interaction is an important factor for predicting trafficability of off-road vehicles. Tractive forces on the wheel to drive the vehicle can be estimated by soil deformation analysis around the contact area of the wheel. Sand deformation and

Development of low vacuum laser welding technique using an aerodynamic window

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2018
In order to realize deep laser welding, conceptual application of a supersonic jet as an aerodynamic window was investigated. Detailed characteristics of the supersonic jet as the aerodynamic window were studied experimentally.

Passive control on flow structure around a wall-mounted low aspect ratio circular cylinder by using an inclined hole

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2017
To control and reduce the rear separation region and the vortex of the free-end surface, a passive flow control method that is to use an inclined flow controlling hole (FCH) passing through the free-end surface to the side of the rear surface was ...

PIV-FlowDiffuser:Transfer-learning-based denoising diffusion models for PIV

CoRR
Deep learning algorithms have significantly reduced the computational time and improved the spatial resolution of particle image velocimetry~(PIV). However, the models trained on synthetic datasets might have a degraded performance on practical particle images due to domain gaps.

Patient‐Derived 3D Heart‐On‐a‐Chip Model of Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Embedded Bead‐Based Mapping of Tissue Contractility

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A heart‐on‐a‐chip model of dilated cardiomyopathy is developed from patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulates key disease phenotypes and enables functional assessment through integrated bead‐based tracking and pillar deflection measurements.

High pre-chemoradiotherapy pan-immune-inflammation value levels predict worse outcomes in patients with stage IIIB/C non-small-cell lung cancer

Discover Oncology, 2023
Background and objectives We explored the prognostic usefulness of the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) in patients with stage IIIB/C non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).

Surface Functionalization Modulates Collective Cell Behavior Near Topological Defects Induced by Topographical Patterning

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Strongly adhered cells align with concentric circular ridges and exhibit predominantly tangential motion, whereas weakly adhered cells fail to follow topographical guidance and display enhanced radial inward motion. ABSTRACT Living cells establish long‐range orientational order through collective alignment, giving rise to topological defects whose ...
