Effect of the structural modification of Candesartan with Zinc on hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Augusto Martins Lima, Valeria Romina Martinez

Hypertension is the most common cause of left ventricular hypertrophy, contributing to heart failure progression. Candesartan (Cand) is an angiotensin receptor antagonist widely used for hypertension treatment. Structural modifications were previously perf ...

Mathematical and numerical models for the cardiac electromechanical function

Alfio Quarteroni, Francesco Regazzoni

This paper deals with the mathematical model that describes the function of the human heart. More specifically, it addresses the equations that express the electromechanical process, that is the mechanical deformation (contraction and relaxation) of the he ...

Extensive and diverse patterns of cell death sculpt neural networks in insects

Pavan P Ramdya, Chin-Lin Chen

Changes to the structure and function of neural networks are thought to underlie the evolutionary adaptation of animal behaviours. Among the many developmental phenomena that generate change programmed cell death (PCD) appears to play a key role. We show t ...

The Center of Small Quantum Groups I: The Principal Block in Type A

Anna Lachowska

We develop an elementary algebraic method to compute the center of the principal block of a small quantum group associated with a complex semisimple Lie algebra at a root of unity. The cases of sl(3) and sl(4) are computed explicitly. This allows us to for ...

Helium effects on irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of 316L austenitic stainless steel

Ignasi Villacampa Roses

The formation and growth of cracks by irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) in light water reactor internals is a critical issue for a safe long-term operation of nuclear power plants. The IASCC susceptibility at relatively low dose is dom ...

Observer Placement for Source Localization: the Effect of Budgets and Transmission Variance

Patrick Thiran, Laura Elisa Celis, Brunella Marta Spinelli

When an epidemic spreads in a network, a key question is where was its source, i.e., the node that started the epidemic. If we know the time at which various nodes were infected, we can attempt to use this information in order to identify the source. Howev ...

Modeling, Characterization and Control of a Novel Torsional Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Actuator

Jamie Paik, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Jian-Lin Huang

Thermally activated shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators are direct-driven and produce high power density with design versatility. However, beyond their linear actuation in spring forms there is little variety and their application in robotics is limited by ...

Flutter Suppression of a Bridge Section Model Endowed with Actively Controlled Flap Arrays

Alcherio Martinoli, Klara Maria Boberg, Glauco Feltrin

In this work, we investigate active flutter control of a bridge section model equipped with arrays of flaps. We consider three simple control algorithms based on an amplitudegain and a phase-shift for actuating the flaps and stabilizing the section model. ...

Development of Implantable Electrodes Based on Polymer Derived Ceramics

Jonas Grossenbacher

The invention of heart pacemakers in the 50's aims to help patients to overcome heart strokes, which represent the first cause of death worldwide. In Europe and in the USA, more than 3000 pacemakers are implanted every day. Despite the constant evolution o ...

Early Classification of Pathological Heartbeats on Wireless Body Sensor Nodes

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Ruben Braojos Lopez, Ivan Beretta

Smart Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSNs) are a novel class of unobtrusive, battery-powered devices allowing the continuous monitoring and real-time interpretation of a subject's bio-signals, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG). These low-power platforms, w ...

Vortex lattice structure in BaFe2(As0.67P0.33)(2) via small-angle neutron scattering

Jonathan White

We have observed a magnetic vortex lattice (VL) in BaFe2(As0.67P0.33)(2) (BFAP) single crystals by small-angle neutron scattering. With the field along the c axis, a nearly isotropic hexagonal VL was formed in the field range from 1 to 16 T, and no symmetr ...

Response of an Embedded Block Impacted by High-Velocity Jets

Matteo Paolo Elia Antonio Federspiel

High-velocity plunging jets, issuing from ood release structures of dams, may result in scouring of the rocky riverbed and even endanger the foundation of the dams. Assessment of the scour extent is essential to ensure the safety of the dam and appurtenant ...

Metal Ion Implantation for the Fabrication of Stretchable Electrodes on Elastomers

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Muhamed Niklaus

We report on low-energy metal ion implantation by filtered cathodic vacuum arc to create highly deformable electrodes on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes. Implantation leads to the creation of nanometer-size clusters in the first 50 nm below the surfa ...

On the Security of HB# against a Man-in-the-Middle Attack

Serge Vaudenay, Khaled Ouafi

At EuroCrypt ’08, Gilbert, Robshaw and Seurin proposed HB# to improve on HB+ in terms of transmission cost and security against man-in-the-middle attacks. Although the security of HB# is formally proven against a certain class of man- in-the-middle adversa ...

Delta-like 4 is the essential, nonredundant ligand for Notch1 during thymic T cell lineage commitment

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Alexandre José Pessanha De Oliveira Caimoto Duarte

Thymic T cell lineage commitment is dependent on Notch1 (N1) receptor-mediated signaling. Although the physiological ligands that interact with N1 expressed on thymic precursors are currently unknown, in vitro culture systems point to Delta-like 1 (DL1) an ...
