This project provides a Python-based implementation to fit viscoelastic data using the Prony series. The code uses experimental data (storage modulus and loss modulus) and optimizes the Prony series ...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the feasibility of repairing a ruptured intervertebral disc using a patch secured to the inner surface of the annulus fibrosus (AF). Different ...

We provide insights into the sequence–conformation–property relationship that is central to the mechanical properties of protein elastomers. We find that a high content of glycine residue alone, not ...

The desmosome is a major cell–cell junction connecting cells in tissues under high mechanical load. Currently, while structures of the constituent cadherins are known, the desmosome architecture has ...

More than 7 years ago, Elektor published my 500 ppm LCR Meter AU2013. Since then I have developed a new LCR Meter, sacrificing a little on extreme accuracy for the sake of extended functionality. A ...

In biotechnology, immobilization of functional reactants is often done as a surface immobilization on small particles. Examples are chromatography columns and fixed-bed reactors. However, the ...

Today’s author, Charlie Ellis, a Program Manager on the Excel team, shares a spreadsheet he built in Excel for solving Sudoku puzzles. The spreadsheet can be found in the attachments at the bottom of ...
