Elastoplastic description of sudden failure in athermal amorphous materials during quasistatic loading

Matthieu Wyart, Thomas Willem Jan de Geus, Marko Popovic

The response of amorphous materials to an applied strain can be continuous or instead discontinuous if the initial configuration is very stable. We study theoretically how such a stress drop emerges as the system's initial stability is increased. We show t ...

Implementation of a patient specific model for the calculation of glenohumeral subluxation

Introduction: Total Shoulder Arthroplasty is a well-established surgery for restoring comfort and function to the arthritic shoulder. Among the different surgical options this procedure appears to provide the most rapid and complete reestablishment of the ...

Renal metabolism of hyperpolarized [1-13C]aspartate

Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

Aspartic acid is involved in several central metabolic pathways, including gluconeogenesis, the urea cycle, de novo nucleotide synthesis, the malate-aspartate shuttle, and via transmination the TCA cycle. The conversion in vivo of hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyr ...

Propagation of peeling in finite adhesive pads

Ismail Honsali

Adhesive pads are commonly used in both natural and engineering systems. A recent study [Cohen et al. Soft Matter 2018] has shown that the failure of finite pads, subjected to loading parallel to the substrate, can be triggered by different mechanisms; int ...

Measurements of internal cracking in punching test slabs without shear reinforcement

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Jürgen Einpaul

Advancing the knowledge about the punching behaviour of flat slabs has been held back by the fact that only indirect measurements of the internal failure mechanism have typically been available. In this paper, a novel experimental approach for tracking the ...

Assessing γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity in kidney using hyperpolarized γ-Glu-[1-13C]Gly

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Steffen Frederic Frank

Hyperpolarized γ-Glu-[1-13C]Gly provides a non-invasive means to detect γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) enzyme activity in vivo with potential for application in functional imaging. Since GGT is most abundant in the proximal tubules of the kidney, and sinc ...

Experiment and Machine Protection from Fast Losses caused by Crab Cavities in the High Luminosity LHC

Andrea Santamaría García

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade aims for a tenfold increase in integrated luminosity compared to the nominal Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and for operation at a leveled luminosity five times higher than the nominal LHC peak lumin ...

Beneficial effects of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells on Porcine Hepatocyte Viability and Albumin Secretion

Sandrine Gerber, François Rémi Pierre Noverraz, Solène Marcelle Françoise Marie Passemard, Luca Szabó, Aurélien Thomas

Porcine hepatocytes transplanted during acute liver failure might support metabolic functions until the diseased liver recovers its function. Here, we isolated high numbers of viable pig hepatocytes and evaluated hepatocyte functionality after encapsulatio ...

Measurement of metabolic changes in acute doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in mice using hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate

Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Emine Can

Chemotherapy cocktails containing doxorubicin produce irreversible cardiotoxic side effects that may progress to heart failure, which can only be avoided through dose limitation of the chemotherapeutic agents. Increasing evidence suggest that cardiac dysfu ...

A Patient-Specific Methodology for Prediction of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Onset

David Atienza Alonso, Jean-Marc Vesin, Amir Aminifar, Adrian Luca, Sasan Yazdani, Elisabetta De Giovanni

In spite of the progress in management of Atrial Fibrillation (AF), this arrhythmia is one of the major causes of stroke and heart failure. The progression of this pathology from a silent paroxysmal form (PAF) into a sustained AF can be prevented by predic ...
