A Maximal Eigenvalue Method for Detecting Process Representative Genes by Integrating Data from Multiple Sources
(2008)An important problem in computational biology is the identification of candidate genes which can be considered as representative of the different cellular processes taking place in the cell as it evolves through time. ... -
Measuring knife stab penetration into skin simulant using a novel biaxial tension device
(Elsevier, 2008)This paper describes the development and use of a biaxial measurement device to analyse the mechanics of knife stabbings. In medicolegal situations it is typical to describe the consequences of a stabbing incident in ... -
Measuring the linear and nonlinear elastic properties of brain tissue with shear waves and inverse analysis
(Springer, 2015-02-20)We use supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI) technique to measure not only the linear but also the nonlinear elastic properties of brain matter. Here, we tested six porcine brains ex vivo and measured the velocities of the ... -
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in compression at dynamic strain rates
(Elsevier, 2012-03-02)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when local mechanical load exceeds certain tolerance levels for brain tissue. Extensive research has been done previously for brain matter experiencing compression at quasistatic loading; ... -
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in simple shear at dynamic strain rates
(Elsevier, 2013-12)During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a rapid and complex deformation, which can be seen as a mixture of compression, tension and shear. Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) occurs in animals and humans when ... -
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in tension at dynamic strain rates
(Elsevier, 2012-09-10)Mechanical characterization of brain tissue at high loading velocities is crucial for modeling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences compression, tension and shear. Limited ... -
Mechanical instability tuning of a magnetorheological elastomer composite laminate
(Elsevier, 2022-12-28)Magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) can change their shape and properties when activated by an external magnetic field. The attractive tunable properties of this stimuli-responsive composite can be further amplified by ... -
Mechanical properties of excised human skin
(Springer Verlag, 2010)In this study we have investigated in influence of location, gender and orientation on the deformation characteristics of 55 samples of human excised skin. Uniaxial tensile tests were carried out at a strain rate of ... -
Mechanics of human brain organoids
(American Physical Society, 2020-01-02)Organoids are prototypes of human organs derived from cultured human stem cells. They provide a reliable and accurate experimental model to study the physical mechanisms underlying the early developmental stages of human ... -
Methodical fitting for mathematical models of rubber-like materials
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2017-02-08)A great variety of models can describe the nonlinear response of rubber to uniaxial tension. Yet an in-depth understanding of the successive stages of large extension is still lacking. We show that the response can be ... -
Minimal characteristic bisets and finite groups realizing Ruiz-Viruel exotic fusion systems
(Elsevier, 2011)Continuing our previous work (Park, 2010) [2], we determine a minimal left characteristic biset X for every exotic fusion system FF on the extraspecial group S of order 73 and exponent 7 discovered by Ruiz and Viruel (2004) ... -
Mining social networks using heat diffusion processes for marketing candidates selection
(ACM, 2008)Social Network Marketing techniques employ pre-existing social networks to increase brands or products awareness through word-of-mouth promotion. Full understanding of social network marketing and the potential candidates ... -
The mod 2 cohomology rings of SL2 of the imaginary quadratic integers
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-09-28)We establish general dimension formulae for the second page of the equivariant spectral sequence of the action of the SL2 groups over imaginary quadratic integers on their associated symmetric space. By way of doing this, ... -
Models for overdispersed data in entomology
(Springer, Cham, 2014-09-17)Entomological data are often overdispersed, characterised by a larger variance than assumed by simple standard models. It is important to model overdispersion properly in order to avoid incorrect and misleading inferences. ... -
Modified multiplicative decomposition model for tissue growth: Beyond the initial stress-free state
(Elsevier, 2018-05-19)The multiplicative decomposition model is widely employed for predicting residual stresses and morphologies of biological tissues due to growth. However, it relies on the assumption that the tissue is initially in a ... -
Monstrous and Generalized Moonshine and Permutation Orbifolds
(2008)We consider the application of permutation orbifold constructions towards a new possible understanding of the genus zero property in Monstrous and Generalized Moonshine. We describe a theory of twisted Hecke operators in ... -
Multi-sector approximation method for arteries: the residual stresses of circumferential rings with non-trivial openings
(The Royal Society, 2019-07-24)The opening angle method is a popular choice in biomechanics to estimate residual stresses in arteries. Experimentally, it means that an artery is cut into rings; then the rings are cut axially or radially allowing them ... -
Multiples of Pfister forms
(Elsevier, 2016-03-01)The isotropy of multiples of Pfister forms is studied. Some classical results are recalled and their consequences presented, with certain of these statements being previously known but hitherto unpublished. In particular, ... -
N=2 and N=4 subalgebras of super vertex operator algebras
(IOP Publishing, 2018-01-10)We develop criteria to decide if an N=2 or N=4 super conformal algebra is a subalgebra of a super vertex operator algebra in general, and of a super lattice theory in particular. We give some specific examples. -
Nash Equilibria in certain two-choice multi-player games played on the ladder graph
(World Scientific Publishing, 2021-01-16)In this paper, we compute analytically the number of Nash Equilibria (NE) for a two-choice game played on a (circular) ladder graph with 2n players. We consider a set of games with generic payoff parameters, with the only ...
