BIOPHYSICS OF CELL-SUBSTRATE INTERACTIONS UNDER SHEAR

Biophysics of Cell-Substrate Interactions Under Shear

Cells adhere to substrates through mechanosensitive focal adhesion complexes.Measurements that probe how cells detach from substrates when they experience an applied force connect molecular-scale aspects of cell adhesion with the biophysical properties of adherent cells.Such forces can be applied through MAYAN MAGIC BALM shear devices that flow flu

Effects of shielding the radiosensitive superficial organs of ORNL pediatric phantoms on dose reduction in computed tomography

In computed tomography (CT), some superficial organs which have increased sensitivity to radiation, receive doses that are significant enough to be matter of concern.Therefore, in this study, the effects of using shields on the amount of dose reduction and image quality was investigated for pediatric imaging.Absorbed doses of breasts, eyes, thyroid

Mechanical Responses of Slurry Shield Underpassing Existing Bridge Piles in Upper-Soft and Lower-Hard Composite Strata

With the development of urban metro systems, shield tunnels that pass through existing bridge pile foundations have become an inevitable engineering problem.Therefore, ensuring the stability of the strata and existing bridge piles during tunnel construction is a common goal in sweat powder engineering practice.Currently, research on the mechanical
