A Mechanistic Model of the Organization of Cell Shapes in Epithelial Tissues [PDF]
Front. Soft Matter 3:1214159 (2023), 2023 The organization of cells within tissues plays a vital role in various biological processes, including development and morphogenesis. As a result, understanding how cells self-organize in tissues has been an active area of research. In our study, we explore a mechanistic model of cellular organization that represents cells as force dipoles that ...

Decision Support System for Renal Transplantation [PDF]
In: Proceedings of the 2018 IISE Annual Conference: 2018; Orlando:
IISE; 2018: 431-436, 2018 The burgeoning need for kidney transplantation mandates immediate attention. Mismatch of deceased donor-recipient kidney leads to post-transplant death. To ensure ideal kidney donor-recipient match and minimize post-transplant deaths, the paper develops a prediction model that identifies factors that determine the probability of success of renal ...

Blockchain-based System Evaluation: The Effectiveness of Blockchain on E-Procurements [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Trends in Computer Science and
Engineering (2019) 2673-2676, 2019 Electronic systems tend to simplify the tedious traditional scheme and basically focuses on the platform design and process organization. The integrity of the output of an automated system is not left behind but the possibility of internal manipulation is still high. This paper presents the current issues in company procurements and the solution in the

Quantifying tissue growth, shape and collision via continuum models and Bayesian inference [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Although tissues are usually studied in isolation, this situation rarely occurs in biology, as cells, tissues, and organs, coexist and interact across scales to determine both shape and function. Here, we take a quantitative approach combining data from recent experiments, mathematical modelling, and Bayesian parameter inference, to describe the self ...
