Combining dynamic stretch and tunable stiffness to probe cell mechanobiology in vitro. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Cells have the ability to actively sense their mechanical environment and respond to both substrate stiffness and stretch by altering their adhesion, proliferation, locomotion, morphology, and synthetic profile.

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Dynamical Systems describing matter dominating era in Modified Tele-Parallel Gravity

Physics Open
We investigate in the present paper, cosmological dynamical system describing matter evolution era under modified teleparallel theory of gravity. After reconstructing general cosmological dynamical system depending on the parameter m which is function of

The mode-coupling of a stiff film/compliant substrate system in the post-buckling range

, 2015
A compressed stiff film/compliant substrate system undergoes a morphology transition from wrinkling to period-doubling. The perturbation method is used to obtain the approximate analytical solution incorporating both the quadratic and cubic ...

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Explicit time-stepping for stiff ODEs

, 2003
We present a new strategy for solving stiff ODEs with explicit methods. By adaptively taking a small number of stabilizing small explicit time steps when necessary, a stiff ODE system can be stabilized enough to allow for time steps much larger than what

A novel method to predict current–voltage characteristics of positive corona discharges based on a perturbation technique. II. Global analysis and applications to electrohydrodynamic thrusters

AIP Advances, 2022
Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) thrusters can silently propel small unmanned aerial vehicles without moving parts using corona discharges. Computational fluid dynamics would be a powerful tool to model the EHD thrusters and then optimize them.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

A High Precision Direct Integration Scheme Based on Variational Principle and Its Applications

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
Dynamics response of systems to impact or loading may be effectively treated by direct integration. However, it is often difficult to select the time-step of integration properly, especially in the case which the system is badly stiff.
