A simplified method for determining the equivalent peak ground acceleration of near-fault pulse-like ground motions

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Near-fault ground motions (NFGMs) differ significantly from far-field ground motions (FFGMs), as NFGMs exhibit pronounced pulse effects and directionality.

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.
