Fault roughness’s influence on experimental fault mechanical behavior

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Barnaby Padraig Fryer, Seyyedmaalek Momeni, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Carolina Giorgetti

Fault slip behavior and earthquake nucleation are often framed within the context of velocity-dependent friction, ranging from velocity-strengthening to velocity-weakening behavior. Previous studies have shown that fault roughness controls the fault slip b ...

Structural basis of the activation of the CC chemokine receptor 5 by a chemokine agonist

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Nicolas Calo, Polina Isaikina

The human CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that plays a major role in inflammation and is involved in cancer, HIV, and COVID-19. Despite its importance as a drug target, the molecular activation mechanism of CCR5, i.e., ...

Analysis of morphological and hemodynamical indexes in abdominal aortic aneurysms as preliminary indicators of intraluminal thrombus deposition

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Claudia Maria Colciago

In this paper, we study the correlation between the wall shear stress, a hemodynamical index derived from numerical simulations, and an new index MFA-ILT for the characterization of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) in the presence of abdominal aortic aneurysms. ...

Hydraulic Transport Through Calcite Bearing Faults With Customized Roughness: Effects of Normal and Shear Loading

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mateo Alejandro Acosta

Understanding fluid flow in rough fractures is of high importance to large scale geologic processes and to most anthropogenic geo‐energy activities. Here we conducted fluid transport experiments on Carrara marble fractures with a novel customized surface t ...

Analysis of morphological and haemodynamical indexes in abdominal aortic aneurysms as preliminary indicators of intraluminal thrombus deposition

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Claudia Maria Colciago

In this paper we study the correlation between the Wall Shear Stress (WSS), a haemodynamical index derived from numerical simulations, and an new index MFA-ILT for the characterisation of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) in presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm ...

A model for cellular mechanotransduction and contractility at finite strain

William Curtin, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Nikolaos Bouklas

In this work we introduce a theoretical and computational modeling framework for the contractile response of single cells triggered by external mechanical stimuli. The structural response due to the formation and dissociation of stress fibers is modeled fo ...

FOXC2 and fluid shear stress stabilize postnatal lymphatic vasculature

Nadine Fournier, Mauro Delorenzi, Yan Agalarov, Esther Bovay

Biomechanical forces, such as fluid shear stress, govern multiple aspects of endothelial cell biology. In blood vessels, disturbed flow is associated with vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, and promotes endothelial cell proliferation and apoptosis ...

Porous thick-film silver metallisation for thermally mismatched brazing operations in tokamak magnetic sensor

Duccio Testa, Peter Ryser, Lucas Güniat, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Adrien Aymeric Thibault Corne

A novel sensor based on thick-film + LTCC (low-temperature cofired ceramic) technology has been recently developed for sensing high-frequency 3D magnetic fields in tokamak fusion devices. For integration within the walls of the tokamak, the sensor has to b ...

Fundamental Constraints on the Abundances of Chemotaxis Proteins

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol

Flagellated bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, perform directed motion in gradients of concentration of attractants and repellents in a process called chemotaxis. The E. coli chemotaxis signaling pathway is a model for signal transduction, but it has uniq ...
