A model of harp plucking.
In this paper, a model of the harp plucking is developed. It is split into two successive time phases, the sticking and the slipping phases, and uses a mechanical description of the human finger's behavior. The parameters of the model are identified through measurements of the finger/string displacements during the interaction. The validity of the model is verified using a configurable and repe...
متن کاملSupporting interactive graph exploration using edge plucking
Excessive edge density in graphs can cause serious readability issues, which in turn can make the graphs difficult to understand or even misleading. Recently, we introduced the idea of providing tools that offer interactive edge bending as a method by which edge congestion can be disambiguated. We extend this direction, presenting a new tool, Edge Plucking, which offers new interactive methods ...
متن کاملGalectin-3 mediates aldosterone-induced vascular fibrosis.
OBJECTIVE Aldosterone (Aldo) is involved in arterial stiffness and heart failure, but the mechanisms have remained unclear. Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a β-galactoside-binding lectin, plays an important role in inflammation, fibrosis, and heart failure. We investigated here whether Gal-3 is involved in Aldo-induced vascular fibrosis. METHODS AND RESULTS In rat vascular smooth muscle cells Gal-3 overe...
متن کاملPremature vascular ageing in cystic fibrosis.
I t is increasingly recognised that chronic inflammatory disorders of the lungs, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other organs, such as rheumatoid arthritis, are associated with systemic effects that result in comorbidities [1, 2]. Cystic fibrosis (CF) has also been shown to have systemic effects, for example loss of muscle mass and decreased bone density associated wit...
متن کاملArteriosclerotic vascular disease and testicular fibrosis.
THE PURPOSE of this paper is to report an interesting inverse relationship between arteriosclerotic vascular disease and advanced testicular fibrosis. In recent years increasing attention has been paid to the possible role of gonadal hormones in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis.1 2 It has long been suspected that high estrogen levels proteet premenopausal women from the development of arter...
