The goal of this project is determination of viscoelastic properties (creep, relaxation, and dissipation) of biodegradable HEMA-based (hydroxyethyl methacrylate) hydrogels. The viscoelastic characterization will be done under compression as well as shear ( ...
We study the following online problem. There are n advertisers. Each advertiser has a total demand and a value for each supply unit. Supply units arrive one by one in an online fashion, and must be allocated to an agent immediately. Each unit is associated ...
In the 19th Century, hydraulic engineering was typically addressed in two parallel approaches. On one hand, classical theoretical fluid mechanics with the use of analytical approaches to study various flow occurrences. Due to the difficulty and complexity ...
Loss of T-tubules (TT), sarcolemmal invaginations of cardiomyocytes (CMs), was recently identified as a general heart failure (HF) hallmark. However, whether IT per se or the overall sarcolemma is altered during HF process is still unknown. In this study, ...
Connectedness and applied stress strongly affect elasticity in solids. In various amorphous materials, mechanical stability can be lost either by reducing connectedness or by increasing pressure. We present an effective medium theory of elasticity that ext ...
A dual-polarized system fully implemented in substrate integrated technology is presented. It comprises an Orthomode Transducer (OMT) with planar excitation schemes for both orthogonal TE10 and TE01 modes and a dual-polarized horn antenna. The whole struct ...

Assessment of existing buildings making use of numerical simulation methods, even under the hypothesis of full knowledge of current conditions and materials, it is not an easy and straightforward task due to the limitations and complexities of such analysi ...
The problem of mechanical contact is a truly multiscale one. Atomistic effects that violate continuum theory dominate the deformations of contacting asperities, while the interactions between distant asperities occur through long-range elasticity. This the ...
The fish early-life stage (FELS) test (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD] test guideline 210) is the primary test used internationally to estimate chronic fish toxicity in support of ecological risk assessments and chemical manag ...
We report on the epitaxial growth of high-quality core-shell nonpolar m-plane GaN/InAlN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) on the sidewall facets of c-oriented hexagonal GaN wires. Pseudomorphic growth without generation of threading dislocations has been estab ...
