Among individual cells of the same source and type, the complex shear modulus G(∗) exhibits a large log-normal distribution that is the result of spatial, temporal, and intrinsic variations. Such large distributions complicate the statistical evaluation of pharmacological treatments and the comparison of different cell states. However, little is known about the characteristic features of cell-t...

Time-periodic CFD simulations are widely used to investigate turbomachinery components. The triple-plane pressure mode matching method (TPP) developed by Ovenden and Rienstra extracts the acoustic part in such simulations. Experience shows that this method is subject to significant errors when the amplitude of pseudo-sound is high compared to sound. Pseudo-sound are unsteady pressure fluctuatio...

BACKGROUND The most accepted means of evaluating the response of a patient with cervical spondylomyelopathy (CSM) to treatment is subjective and based on the owner and clinician's perception of the gait. OBJECTIVE To establish and compare kinetic parameters based on force plate gait analysis between normal and CSM-affected Dobermans. ANIMALS Nineteen Doberman Pinschers: 10 clinically normal...
