Sheet metal forming as well mechanical joining demand increasingly accurate and efficient material modelling to capture large deformations, the inherent sheet orthotropy even process-induced damage, which is expected be influential. To account for strains additive logarithmic strain space utilised that enables a straightforward incorporation of plastic anisotropy, herein modelled by Hill48 yiel...

Analysis of CT scans for studying Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is generally limited to mean scores of disease extent. However, the evolution of local pulmonary damage may vary between patients with discordant effects on lung physiology. This limits the explanatory power of mean values in clinical studies. We present local disease and deformation distributions to address this lim...

The peripheral olfactory system of the spiny lobster Panulirus argus--located on paired antennules--undergoes continual postembryonic development. This process includes continuous addition of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) related to indeterminate growth, continuous replacement, and regeneration when necessitated by damage. We have shown previously that new olfactory tissue is continually ad...

Poly-ADP-ribosylation is a post-translational modification generated in high amounts by poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs) in response to cellular stress, especially genotoxic stimuli. DNA damage-induced PARylation significantly changes local chromatin structure and triggers the accumulation of several DNA damage response (DDR) proteins at the DNA lesions. In this review, we will discuss the r...
