Purpose: To simulate the intravoxel incoherent perfusion magnetic resonance magnitude signal from the motion of blood particles in three realistic vascular network graphs from a mouse brain. Methods: In three networks generated from the…
A common mechanism for intracellular transport is the use of controlled deformations of the membrane to create spherical or tubular buds. While the basic physical properties of homogeneous membranes are relatively well-known, the effects of…
Inertial pumping is a promising new method of moving fluids through microchannels but many of its properties remain unexplored. In this work, inertial flow rates are investigated for different channel lengths, operating temperatures, and…
Fluid-filled soft visuotactile sensors such as the Soft-bubbles alleviate key challenges for robust manipulation, as they enable reliable grasps along with the ability to obtain high-resolution sensory feedback on contact geometry and…
We propose a simple experiment to investigate the intercommutation of flux tubes in type II superconductors. Using this method the intercommutation of strings can be observed directly and the dependence of intercommutation on the angle of…
We examine the shape of droplets atop deformable thin elastomeric films prepared with an anisotropic tension. As the droplets generate a deformation in the taut film through capillary forces, they assume a shape that is elongated along the…
An overview is presented of the various phases predicted to occur when gases are absorbed within a bundle of carbon nanotubes. The behavior may be characterized by an effective dimensionality, which depends on the species and the…
Purpose: We present a new morphometric measure of trabecular bone microarchitecture, called mean node strength (NdStr), which is part of a newly developed approach called long range node-strut analysis. Our general aim is to describe and…
Microrheology is a branch of rheology having the same principles as conventional bulk rheology, but working on micron length scales and micro-litre volumes. Optical tweezers have been successfully used with Newtonian fluids for rheological…
To address existing challenges with intravascular mechanical thrombectomy devices, a novel ultrasound-enhanced aspiration approach is being developed to mechanically degrade clots using cavitation. This method employs standing waves within…
The Immersed Boundary (IB) method is a mathematical framework for constructing robust numerical methods to study fluid-structure interaction in problems involving an elastic structure immersed in a viscous fluid. The IB formulation uses an…
The unsteady three-dimensional separated flow on a wall induced by a square protrusion (approximately twice the local boundary layer thickness in width and height), and its control by means of passive suction through holes, is investigated…
We present an overview of the Velocity Coordinate Spectrum (VCS), a new technique for studying astrophysical turbulence that utilizes the line-of-sight statistics of Doppler-broadened spectral lines. We consider the retrieval of turbulence…
Investigating the sound field in and around ducts is an important topic in acoustics, e.g. when simulating musical instruments or the human vocal tract. In this paper a method that is based on the boundary element method in 3D combined with…
Lacunes of presumed vascular origin are fluid-filled cavities of between 3 - 15 mm in diameter, visible on T1 and FLAIR brain MRI. Quantification of lacunes relies on manual annotation or semi-automatic / interactive approaches; and almost…
Vasculature is known to be of key biological significance, especially in the study of cancer. As such, considerable effort has been focused on the automated measurement and analysis of vasculature in medical and pre-clinical images. In…
An indentation testing method, which utilizes lateral contact of a long cylindrical indenter, is developed for a thin transversely isotropic incompressible elastic film deposited onto a smooth rigid substrate. It is assumed that the…
While amorphous materials are often approximated to have a statistically homogeneous atomic structure, they frequently exhibit localized structural heterogeneity that challenges simplified models. This study uses 4D scanning transmission…
The unacceptably high stroke rate of HeartMate III VAD without signs of adherent pump thrombosis is hypothesized to be the result of the thrombi originating on the inflow cannula, ingesting and ejecting emboli from the VAD. Therefore,…
Intracranial hemorrhage occurs when blood vessels rupture or leak within the brain tissue or elsewhere inside the skull. It can be caused by physical trauma or by various medical conditions and in many cases leads to death. The treatment…
