Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 Functioned Differently at Different Stages of the Cyclic Stretch-Induced Apoptosis in Human Periodontal Ligament Cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells underwent apoptosis after mechanical stretch loading. However, the exact signalling pathway remains unknown.

Extinction characteristics of ammonia/air counterflow premixed flames at various pressures
Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2016 Ammonia has promising features as a carbon-free fuel without greenhouse gas emission. However, due to its low combustion intensity, the combustion characteristics of ammonia have been rarely investigated.

MAPK activation modulates permeability of isolated rat alveolar epithelial cell monolayers following cyclic stretch. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 We cultured (5 days) rat alveolar epithelial cells to investigate the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPk) signaling in ventilator induced epithelial barrier dysfunction. Cells were stretched to a magnitude of 12% or 37% change in surface area

Stretch Rate and Displacement Speed Correlations for Increasingly-Turbulent Premixed Flames
Flow Turbulence and Combustion, 2018 Probability density functions of the components of stretch rate are investigated using a previously-published Direct Numerical Simulation dataset spanning a range of turbulence intensities in the Thin Reaction Zones (TRZ) regime.

The Ages of Type Ia Supernova Progenitors [PDF]
, 2010 Using light curves and host galaxy spectra of 101 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with redshift $z \lesssim 0.3$ from the SDSS Supernova Survey (SDSS-SN), we derive the SN Ia rate as a function of progenitor age (the delay time distribution, or DTD).

Stretching of polymers in a turbulent environment [PDF]
, 2002 The interaction of polymers with small-scale velocity gradients can trigger a coil-stretch transition in the polymers. We analyze this transition within a direct numerical simulation of shear turbulence with an Oldroyd-B model for the polymer.

Context-Aware Image Compression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We describe a physics-based data compression method inspired by the photonic time stretch wherein information-rich portions of the data are dilated in a process that emulates the effect of group velocity dispersion on temporal signals.

Stretching rates and equivalent length near the tropopause [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2003 Diagnostics of mixing in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere region reveal interesting seasonal and interannual variability and illustrate how the subtropical tropopause can be identified with a region of minimum mixing, a partial barrier to the transport of air between the troposphere and stratosphere.
