In this model of a 1D material, researchers demonstrate a new way to remotely change a material's stiffness using sound waves. The team was co-led by the University of California San Diego, University ...

The effects of ECM stiffness on LEC proliferation and migration were assessed using a tunable polyacrylamide hydrogel system. Differential gene expression in LECs on soft versus stiff substrates was ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we consider the model updating problem of the undamped vibroacoustic system with no spill-over (MUP-UVA), which is to update the original system to a new system such that some ...

Previous work has shown that single cells can sense microenvironment stiffness through thin matrix layers, and this range extends with viscoelastic collagen compared to elastic hydrogels. Here, we ...

The Python Software Foundation warned users this week that threat actors are trying to steal their credentials in phishing attacks using a fake Python Package Index (PyPI) website. PyPI is a ...

A program that follows the finite element method with 1-D elements. This is program was created as a semester project for the class Matrix Structural Analysis - 1D finite elements of the NTUA's School ...

Abstract: Shale is a critical hydrocarbon reservoir generally considered a typical transverse isotropy with a vertical axis of symmetry vertical transverse isotropic (VTI) media. Petrophysical ...

The finite element method is a powerful numerical technique that is used in all major engineering industries - in this video we'll explore how it works. We'll look at why it's useful to split the body ...

Dozens of machine learning algorithms require computing the inverse of a matrix. Computing a matrix inverse is conceptually easy, but implementation is one of the most challenging tasks in numerical ...

Cell migration is essential for numerous biological processes in health and disease, including for immune cell trafficking. Monocyte immune cells migrate through extracellular matrix (ECM) to the ...

A woman in Texas has died after contracting a fatal brain amoeba from contaminated water. The patient, 71, had used a nasal irrigation device filled with unboiled tap water from an RV’s water faucet, ...
