Assessment of the Impact of the Rigidity of Nodes on the Operating Reliability of EPSs [PDF]
The operating reliability of electrical power systems is mostly based on the topology and parameters of the schemes considered in this article. The preliminary (before the calculation of operating conditions) analysis of the rigidity or sensitivity of ...

Rigidity of frameworks supported on surfaces [PDF]
A theorem of Laman gives a combinatorial characterisation of the graphs that admit a realisation as a minimally rigid generic bar-joint framework in $\bR^2$.

Matrix rigidity-modulated cardiovascular organoid formation from embryoid bodies.
Stem cell clusters, such as embryoid bodies (EBs) derived from embryonic stem cells, are extensively studied for creation of multicellular clusters and complex functional tissues.

Standard Loading Profile in Matrix Rigidity Sensing [PDF]
It is important to learn features of locally applied forces by cells during matrix rigidity sensing, since the function of mechanosensing proteins would be affected by force magnitude, loading velocity, or even loading history. Here, we investigate a rigidity-sensing apparatus consisting of a contractile unit on matrices.

Rigidity percolation in dispersions with a structured viscoelastic matrix [PDF]
This paper deals with rigidity percolation in composite materials consisting of a dispersion of mineral particles in a microstructured viscoelastic matrix. The viscoelastic matrix in this specific case is a hydrocarbon refinery residue. In a set of model random composites the mean interparticle surface-to-surface distance was controlled, changing ...

Extracellular Matrix Rigidity Promotes Invadopodia Activity [PDF]
Invadopodia are actin-rich subcellular protrusions with associated proteases used by cancer cells to degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) [1]. Molecular components of invadopodia include branched actin-assembly proteins, membrane trafficking proteins, signaling proteins, and transmembrane proteinases [1]. Similar structures exist in nontransformed cells,

Extracellular matrix rigidity modulates neuroblastoma cell differentiation and N-myc expression
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric malignancy characterized by tremendous clinical heterogeneity, in which some tumors are extremely aggressive while others spontaneously differentiate into benign forms.
