Variational Time Integrators in Computational Solid Mechanics [PDF]
, 2003 This thesis develops the theory and implementation of variational integrators for computational solid mechanics problems, and to some extent, for fluid mechanics problems as well.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Variational principles for integrals [PDF]
Journal of Computational Physics, 1969 We consider the problem of approximating integrals of the form ∫ 1W where W may be a simple (e.g. polynomial) form in the integration variables. A variational expression is given which approximates this integral in terms of integrals of W with suitably chosen trial functions.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Variational Methods in Surface Parameterization [PDF]
, 2005 A surface parameterization is a function that maps coordinates in a 2-dimensional parameter space to points on a surface. This thesis investigates two kinds of parameterizations for surfaces that are disc-like in shape.

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Hamilton-Pontryagin Integrators on Lie Groups [PDF]
, 2007 In this thesis structure-preserving time integrators for mechanical systems whose configuration space is a Lie group are derived from a Hamilton-Pontryagin (HP) variational principle.

On Ekeland’s variational principle [PDF]
Journal of Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2011 For proper lower semi-continuous functionals bounded below which do not increase upon polarization, an improved version of Ekeland's variational principle can be formulated in Banach spaces, which provides almost symmetric points.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...
