Filopodia are active tubular structures protruding from the cell surface which allow the cell to sense and interact with the surrounding environment through repetitive elongation-retraction cycles. The mechanical behavior of filopodia has been studied by measuring the traction forces exerted on external substrates.(1) These studies have revealed that internal actin flow can transduce a force ac...

JOHN DIAMANT HewlettPackard Broadly speaking, the IT industry hasn’t remembered the quality improvement revolution or applied it to IT security quality. This isn’t surprising, because specialized disciplines tend to advance primarily on their own, and the cross-disciplinary application of lessons learned is less common. To make the connection clear, I start with an abbreviated history of qualit...

This article studies the effects of fractional time derivatives on thermo-mechanical interaction in living tissue during hyperthermia treatment by using eigenvalues approach. A comprehensive understanding heat transfer mechanism and related interactions with patient’s tissues is crucial for effective implementation thermal procedures. The surface traction-free exposed to a pulse boundary flux t...

Some professionals are reluctant to indicate orthodontic traction, especially for upper canines. Among the most common reasons for restricting the indication of orthodontic traction are: 1) Root resorption in lateral incisors and premolars. 2) External cervical resorption of the canines under traction. 3) Alveolodental ankylosis of the canine(s) involved in the process. 4) Calcific metamorphosi...

Most soccer, rugby union, rugby league, American football, Australian football and Gaelic football competitions over the world are played on natural grass over seasons that commence in the early autumn (fall) and extend through winter. Injury surveillance in these competitions has usually reported high rates of injury to the lower limb and an increased incidence of injuries early in the season....

This paper estimated the problem of one-dimensional generalized thermoelastic half-space in medium considering two models: Lord and Shulman (LS) model Dual-Phase-Lag (DPL) model. We assumed that surface was free from traction force under an exponentially varying external heat source at boundary with time. The technique homotopy perturbation has been applied to find approximate solution for inte...

The purpose of this work is to investigate, within the context extended thermo-diffusion theory, transient responses for a half-space with variable thermal conductivity and diffusivity. half-bounding space’s surface traction-free exposed time-dependent shock, but chemical potential believed be known function time. Because nonlinear equations are complicated, finite element technique applied sol...

The rough integument of water-walking arthropods is well known to be responsible for their water-repellency [1, 2, 3, 4]; however, water-repellent surfaces generally experience reduced traction at an air-water interface [5, 6, 7, 8]. A conundrum then arises as to how such creatures generate significant propulsive forces while retaining their water-repellency. We here demonstrate through a serie...

In this work, we apply the fractional order thermoelasticity diffusion theory to a problem for a halfspace. The surface is taken to be traction free and subjected to a time dependent thermal shock. The chemical potential is assumed to be a known function of time on the bounding plane. Laplace and exponential Fourier transform techniques are used to obtain the solution by a direct approach. The ...
