A continuum approach to modelling cell-cell adhesion.
Cells adhere to each other through the binding of cell adhesion molecules at the cell surface. This process, known as cell-cell adhesion, is fundamental in many areas of biology, including early embryo development, tissue homeostasis and tumour growth. In this paper we develop a new continuous mathematical model of this phenomenon by considering the movement of cells in response to the adhesive...
متن کاملA continuum approach to modelling cognitive disorders.
At the present time, the dominant conceptual framework in neuroscience views neurons as discrete information processing units. While this framework has undoubtedly been successful in explaining phenomena at the single-cell level, it has had less success in explaining large-scale neural phenomena such as cognitive disorders. An alternative conceptualization of brain function is in terms of an en...
متن کاملWear modelling: analytical, computational and mapping: a continuum mechanics approach
As a result of its widespread and pervasive economic consequences wear, the almost inevitable companion of friction, has been the subject of much scientific and empirical investigation; the literature is rich with ‘wear equations’ so that, on occasion, the practitioner can seem to have too much information rather than too little. Some guidance and reconciliation between analytical and computati...
متن کاملReversible Adhesion: from Discrete to Continuum
We study a simple mechanical model whose aim is to reproduce basic physical mechanisms behind reversible surface attachment-detachment under quasi-static loading. At the micro level the adhesive layer is modeled as an elastic chain of particles interacting with a rigid foundation through breakable springs. This model can be viewed as prototypical for the description of a wide range of phenomena...
متن کاملnon-corrective approach to pronunciation
the aim of this study has been to find answers for the following questions: 1. what is the effect of immediate correction on students pronunciation errors? 2. what would be the effect of teaching the more rgular patterns of english pronunciation? 3. is there any significant difference between the two methods of dealing with pronuciation errore, i. e., correction and the teaching of the regular ...
