A minimal model for spontaneous cell polarization and edge activity in oscillating, rotating and migrating cells

, 2016
How the cells break symmetry and organize their edge activity to move directionally is a fun- damental question in cell biology. Physical models of cell motility commonly rely on gradients of regulatory factors and/or feedback from the motion itself to ...

Association of the Red Cell Distribution Width with Red Blood Cell Deformability [PDF]

, 2012
The red cell distribution width (RDW) is a component of the automated complete blood count (CBC) that quantifies heterogeneity in the size of circulating erythrocytes. Higher RDW values reflect greater variation in red blood cell (RBC) volumes and are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. The mechanisms underlying this

Process‐Informed Analysis of As‐Built Metal Additive Surface Features

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article introduces a novel method for feature‐based surface texture characterisation directly incorporating manufacturing variables into the feature extraction workflow. This marks a major step towards identifying process‐specific surface properties and their influence on part function and hence a holistic understanding of process–structure ...

Association between Red Cell Distribution Width and Mortality in Pediatric Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Units [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a routine laboratory measure that could be used as a predictor of mortality in critically ill patients.

LIDT-DD: A new self-consistent debris disc model including radiation pressure and coupling collisional and dynamical evolution [PDF]

, 2013
In most current debris disc models, the dynamical and the collisional evolutions are studied separately, with N-body and statistical codes, respectively, because of stringent computational constraints.

Duplex Stainless Steel Laser‐Surface Textured: Stability in Brine Solution

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Controlled laser‐surface treatment (LST) of duplex DSS2205 steel is performed to increase its stability in brine solution under cyclic electrochemical assays. The superior protection with respect to flat and smooth panels is attributed to the presence of FeCr2O4 as the main protective oxide layer in the LST surface, after corrosion tests. The stability

Association of Hemoglobin to Red Blood Cell Distribution Width Ratio and Total Bone Mineral Density in U.S. Adolescents: The NHANES 2011–2018

Diagnostics
Background: The hemoglobin-to-red-cell distribution width ratio has emerged as a novel prognostic marker in various clinical settings. However, its association with total bone mineral density in adolescents remains inadequately explored.

Crawling the Cosmic Network: Identifying and Quantifying Filamentary Structure

, 2010
We present the Smoothed Hessian Major Axis Filament Finder (SHMAFF), an algorithm that uses the eigenvectors of the Hessian matrix of the smoothed galaxy distribution to identify individual filamentary structures.

A statistical test of emission from unresolved point sources [PDF]

, 2010
We describe a simple test of the spatial uniformity of an ensemble of discrete events. Given an estimate for the point source luminosity function and an instrumental point spread function (PSF), a robust upper bound on the fractional point source ...
