Pulse, 2013 Stiffness of large arteries has been long recognized as a significant determinant of pulse pressure. However, it is only in recent decades, with the accumulation of longitudinal data from large and varied epidemiological studies of morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease, that it has emerged as an independent predictor of ...

Morphological and functional changes in the vertebral column with increasing aquatic adaptation in crocodylomorphs [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 The lineage leading to modern Crocodylia has undergone dramatic evolutionary changes in morphology, ecology and locomotion over the past 200+ Myr. These functional innovations may be explained in part by morphological changes in the axial skeleton, which

Frontiers in Sports and Active LivingPurposeFatigue manifests as a decline in maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), driven by both central and peripheral factors. Studies have shown reduced maximum isometric force in knee extensor and plantar flexor muscles after ultradistance trail running.

Immersion and Invariance Control for an Antagonistic Joint with Nonlinear Mechanical Stiffness [PDF]
, 2010 Tendon controlled robots with nonlinear mechanical tendon stiffness are becoming more and more popular. With the appropriate actuation, the joint position and the stiffness between motor and link side can be prescribed at the same time. In this paper,

Deformation and stiffness of spur gear teeth and their influence on gear noise [PDF]
Scientific Journal of Silesian University of Technology. Series Transport, 2015 Gear teeth are deformed due to the load. The deformation of gear teeth is causing some negative as well as positive effects. A tooth has a complex shape and due to the complex shape of the teeth, a theoretical determination of the deformation is ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.
