Essential for improving the accuracy and reliability of bowel cancer screening, three-dimensional (3D) surface reconstruction using capsule endoscopy (CE) images remains challenging due to CE hardware and software limitations. This report…
A long-standing controversy in studies of spiral structure has concerned the lifetimes of individual spiral patterns. Much theoretical work has sought quasi-stationary spiral modes while N-body simulations have consistently displayed…
In this paper we numerically investigate the breakup dynamics of droplets in an emulsion flowing in a tapered microchannel with a narrow constriction. The mesoscale approach for multicomponent fluids with near contact interactions is shown…
Capillary dynamics has been and is yet an important field of research, because of its very relevant role played as the core mechanism at the base of many applications. In this context, we are particularly interested in the liquid…
This paper introduces a size-adaptable robotic endoscope design, which aims to improve the efficiency and comfort of colonoscopy. The robotic endoscope proposed in this paper combines the expansion mechanism and the external drive system,…
Dental informatics is a rapidly evolving field that combines dentistry with information technology to improve oral health care delivery, research, and education. Electronic health records (EHRs), telehealth, digital imaging, and other…
Throughout the history of electron microscopy, ribosomes have served as an ideal subject for imaging and technological development, which in turn has driven our understanding of ribosomal biology. Here, we provide a historical perspective…
The overall goal of this thesis is to investigate the connection between the dynamics and structure of molecular glass formers, by testing different scaling laws for both. The inspiration for this work is the Isomorph theory because it…
Direct observation of nanoscale transformations in three dimensions (3D) is essential for understanding materials evolution under operating conditions, yet dynamic electron tomography remains limited by slow tilt series acquisition and by…
The effects of cell size and deformability on the lateral migration and deformation of living cells flowing through a rectangular microchannel has been numerically investigated and compared with the inertial-microfluidics data on detection…
Electrogastrography is the recording of changes in electric potential caused by the stomach's pacemaker region, typically through several cutaneous sensors placed on the abdomen. It is a worthwhile technique in medical and psychological…
The growing interest for comparing protein internal dynamics owes much to the realization that protein function can be accompanied or assisted by structural fluctuations and conformational changes. Analogously to the case of functional…
In this talk, after a short phenomenological introduction on glasses, I will describe some recent progresses that have been done in glasses using the replica method in the definition and in the evaluation of the configurational entropy (or…
Visual SLAM inside the human body will open the way to computer-assisted navigation in endoscopy. However, due to space limitations, medical endoscopes only provide monocular images, leading to systems lacking true scale. In this paper, we…
In endoscopic surgery, surgeons continuously locate the endoscopic view relative to the anatomy by interpreting the evolving visual appearance of the intraoperative scene in the context of their prior knowledge. Vision-based navigation…
We systematically investigate the relationships between structural and electronic effects of finite size zigzag or armchair carbon nanotubes of various diameters and lengths, starting from a molecular template of varying shape and diameter,…
Bile, the central metabolic product of the liver, is secreted by hepatocytes into bile canaliculi (BC), tubular subcellular structures of 0.5-2 $\mu$m diameter which are formed by the apical membranes of juxtaposed hepatocytes. BC…
The physics of foams and emulsions has traditionally been studied using bulk foam/emulsion tests and single film platforms such as the Scheludko cell. Recently there has been a renewed interest in a third class of techniques that we term as…
Visual analysis and reconstruction of pipeline inner walls remain challenging in industrial inspection scenarios. This paper presents a dedicated reconstruction system for pipeline inner walls via industrial endoscopes, which is built on…
The compaction dynamics of a granular media subject to a sequence of vertical taps made of fluid pulses is investigated via Molecular Dynamics simulations. Our study focuses on three different levels: macroscopic (volume fraction),…
