Flame extinctions: Critical stretch rates and sizes [PDF]
The paper reports how experimental data from a fan-stirred explosion vessel have extended the boundary of the previously defined regime, within which stable premixed turbulent combustion occurs. It also defines the properties of the bordering regime of turbulent flame quenching.

Stretch‐Induced Increase in Ca2+‐Spark Rate in Rabbit Atrial Cardiomyocytes Requires TRPA1 and Intact Microtubule Network [PDF]
Background Mechanical stretch of the myocardium is proarrhythmic and alters cellular Ca2+ handling, potentially involving cation nonselective mechano‐sensitive ion channels.

Cyclic stretch increases splicing noise rate in cultured human fibroblasts [PDF]
Background Mechanical forces are known to alter the expression of genes, but it has so far not been reported whether they may influence the fidelity of nucleus-based processes.

GHz Optical Time-Stretch Microscopy by Compressive Sensing
Optical time-stretch microscopy has recently attracted intensive attention for its capability of acquiring images at an ultrahigh frame rate. Unfortunately, its achievable frame rate is limited by the requirement of having no overlap between consecutive ...

Stretch-induced stress fiber remodeling and the activations of JNK and ERK depend on mechanical strain rate, but not FAK. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cells within tissues are subjected to mechanical forces caused by extracellular matrix deformation. Cells sense and dynamically respond to stretching of the matrix by reorienting their actin stress fibers and by activating intracellular ...

Rate‐sensitive contractile responses of lymphatic vessels to circumferential stretch
Phasic contractile activity in rat portal vein is more sensitive to the rate of change in length than to absolute length and this response is widely assumed to be a general characteristic of myogenic behaviour for vascular smooth muscle. Previously, we found that rat lymphatic vessels exhibit phasic contractile behaviour similar to that of portal vein.

The effects of mechanical stimulation on the morphology and function of spinal ligament cells [PDF]
Background It has been shown that mechanical signaling in the cellular microenvironment is crucial for control at the cellular and tissue levels, affecting human growth and the prevalence of disease.

Flow field and local burning velocity affected by stretch in swirl flow of turbulent premixed flames
In this study, we have investigated turbulent premixed flames affected by local stretch in a swirl flow, measured by the simultaneous OH-PLIF/SPIV system. Evaluating the transient of burning velocity and stretch rate, the flow and the flame dynamics in a

Upconversion time-stretch infrared spectroscopy [PDF]
High-speed measurement confronts the extreme speed limit when the signal becomes comparable to the noise level. In the context of broadband mid-infrared spectroscopy, state-of-the-art ultrafast Fourier-transform infrared spectrometers, in particular dual-
