RISA Modified Micropipette Aspiration Technique and Its Application to Tether Formation From Human Neutrophils
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tether formation, which is mechanically characterized by its threshold force and effective viscosity, is involved in neutrophil emigration from blood circulation. Using the micropipette aspiration ...
Erratum: “A Modified Micropipette Aspiration Technique and Its Application to Tether Formation from Human Neutrophils” [ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 124, No. 4, pp. 388–396]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the section of “Tether Formation from Neutrophils Treated with Cytochalasin D,” the conclusions drawn from comparing cytochalasin-treated neutrophils with passive ones are partly incorrect due ...
Adaptive Refinement/Recovery for Analysis of Wind around Structure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For the efficient finite-element wind analysis, using the optimal mesh is one of the most important factors. The optimal mesh can be obtained when the errors of the solution are distributed uniformly over the entire domain. ...
Analytical Approach for Evaluating the Dynamic Self-Bearing Capacity of Tunnels
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The self-bearing capacity of tunnels possesses a dynamic evolution process. However, there is a limited advanced knowledge to evaluate the dynamic self-bearing capacity of tunnels quantitatively. In this paper, the ...
Trajectory Planning and Control of Multiple Quadcopters for Mars Exploration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The trajectory optimization of multiple quadcopters for Mars exploration has been a challenging task due to a difficult nonconvex space formed by multiple quadcopters in the flight, the complex dynamics model, and complicated ...
Comparative Study of the Effect of Basalt Fiber on Dynamic Damage Characteristics of Ceramics Cement–Based Porous Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cementitious materials, ceramic aggregates, and fiber are used as basic materials; ceramics cement–based porous material (CCPM) and basalt fiber-reinforced ceramics cement–based porous material (BFRCCPM) are prepared on ...
Estimation of Passive Earth Pressure against Rigid Retaining Wall Considering Arching Effect in Cohesive-Frictional Backfill under Translation Mode
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a novel analytical approach is proposed to calculate the passive earth pressure against a rigid retaining wall subjected to the translation mode. Effects of arching in cohesive backfill soils as well as ...
Physicochemical Characterization of the Render Layer of a Rammed Earth Wall in Fuyulou, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The render layer plays an essential role in the longevity of rammed earth constructions. A physicochemical analysis of the renders of the historical buildings of Fujian Tulou, a World Heritage site in Fujian, China, is ...
Time-Dependent Deformation Mechanism for Swelling Soft-Rock Tunnels in Coal Mines and Its Mathematical Deduction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The floor heave and the inward movement of sidewalls are often encountered in the excavation of tunnels with swelling rock properties. However, the deformation mechanism for swelling soft-rock tunnels cannot be reasonably ...
Elastic Fiber Fragmentation Increases Transmural Hydraulic Conductance and Solute Transport in Mouse Arteries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Transmural advective transport of solute and fluid was investigated in mouse carotid arteries with either a genetic knockout of fibulin-5 (Fbln5−/−) or treatment with elastase to determine the influence of a disrupted ...
