Effect of Bileaflet Valve Orientation on the 3D Flow Dynamics in the Sinus of Valsalva
Three-dimensional (3D) evolutional behavior of flow dynamics in the aortic sinus of Valsalva was studied in vitro for finding the effects of bileaflet valve orientations in an effort to investigate possible linkages between the sinus flow and coronary ...

Low-temperature culturing improves survival rate of tissue-engineered cardiac cell sheets
Assembling three-dimensional (3D) tissues from single cells necessitates the use of various advanced technological methods because higher-density tissues require numerous complex capillary structures to supply sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Accordingly,

Environment, Equivalence Inferences, and the Twins: A Reply to Sober
Elliott Sober (2020) can be understood as advancing two distinct arguments that similarly conclude that evolutionary theory does not say that Scriven’s (1959) infamous twins have the same fitness, despite the twins’ identical genotypes and phenotypes ...

Shallow extra mixing in solar twins inferred from Be abundances [PDF]
Lithium and beryllium are destroyed at different temperatures in stellar interiors. As such, their relative abundances offer excellent probes of the nature and extent of mixing processes within and below the convection zone.
