Hemodynamic forces play an important role in the normal and pathological behavior of vascular endothelial cells as recent studies on the shear stress over the endothelium have shown. Based on computational investigation and scaling analysis, our study shows that the normal force contributes significantly to the total force on the endothelial cells even in large vessels. Therefore, our study sug...

the root pulling force as well as the amount of transferred soil have not been reported quantitatively for various sugar beet types. this study was designed to measure the amounts of transferred soil from farm and estimate the root pulling force among sugar beets populations with different root shapes at harvest time. the experiment was conducted as a split plot with a randomized complete block...
