Liver repair after acute liver injury is characterized by hepatocyte proliferation, removal of necrotic tissue, and restoration of hepatocellular and hepatic microvascular architecture. Macrophage recruitment is essential for liver tissue repair and recovery from injury; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Signaling through vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1) is s...

This paper developed a multifunctional composite sandwich structure with optimised design on topological cores. As the main concern, full structures were manufactured carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) facesheets and designed Three-point bending tests have been performed to assess mechanical performance of cellular structures. To evaluate energy harvesting performance, piezoelectric transdu...

The electric double layer phenomenon exists on the solid interface under water-liquid condition. water molecules are ionized and adhered in forming sturn is a diffused which can move with movement of bulk molecules. Because these two characteristics, boundary called layer. aim present study to explore impact fraction surfaces (EDL) thin lubricating film an elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) l...

This paper describes a novel analysis-synthesis method based on estimation and comparison between spectral methods that are specifically designed for modeling of random signals. These methods are an alternative to the discrete Fourier transform, providing high-resolution, smooth and easily interpretable spectral estimation over short signal frames. It is generally acknowledged that musical sign...

Abstract: The design of an adaptive sinusoidal disturbance rejection controller for SingleInput-Single-Output (SISO) systems is presented in this paper. Sinusoidal disturbance rejection problems exist in industry applications such as velocity ripples in a CNC milling machine. The controller is first developed based on the Internal Model Principle (IMP) and the polezero placement technique, then...

Three-dimensional profilometry by sinusoidal fringe projection using phase-shifting algorithms is usually distorted by the nonlinear intensity response of commercial video projectors. To overcome this problem, several methods including sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) were proposed to generate sinusoidal fringe patterns with binary ones by defocusing the project to some certain extent. ...

Metabolism and sinusoidal/canalicular efflux of mycophenolic acid (MPA) was investigated using sandwich-cultured hepatocytes (SCHs). After applying MPA to SCHs from humans, wild-type rats, and multidrug resistance-associated protein (Mrp) 2-deficient rats, the MPA metabolites 7-O-glucuronide (MPAG) and acyl glucuronide (AcMPAG) were detected in the intracellular compartment of the SCHs. Sinusoi...

In this paper we describe a sinusoidal analysis and synthesis framework which uses a novel method of extracting the sinusoidal components and fundamental frequency. This method is based on a mapping from linearly spaced filter centre frequencies to the instantaneous frequencies of the filter outputs. Frequency domain fixed points are obtained from this mapping which result in the extraction of ...
