Natural tissues and extracellular matrices (ECMs) are not purely elastic materials but exhibit dissipative properties. Although it has recently emerged as a novel regulator of cellular responses, the contribution material dissipation to guiding cell-fate decisions is still in its infancy. Here, strategy for tuning rate viscoplastic substrates while precisely regulating linear elasticity reporte...

This paper focuses on the cross elasticity of supply concept and incidentally on the cross elasticity of demand concept. The author reviews a body of contemporaneous and older textbooks in intermediate microeconomics and industrial organization/public policy and finds that cross elasticity of supply is and has been seldom discussed in such textbooks, while cross elasticity of demand tends to be...

Materials and research methods. data foreign literature on efficacy method were analyzed. performed using electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web Science, eLIBRARY PEDro period 2007 till 2021. following key words their combi...

Complex cloud services rely on different elasticity control processes to deal with dynamic requirement changes and workloads. However, enforcing an elasticity control process to a cloud service does not always lead to an optimal gain in terms of quality or cost, due to the complexity of service structures, deployment strategies, and underlying infrastructure dynamics. Therefore, being able, a p...

BACKGROUND During menopause, the decrease of estrogenic secretion induces the disruption of skin functioning, thus causing the decline in skin elasticity characteristic of skin aging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in postmenopausal women the effect of daily consumption and/or application of argan oil on skin elasticity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty postmenopausal women consumed but...

Joint contractures alter the mechanical properties of articular and muscular structures. Reversibility of a contracture depends on the restoration of the elasticity of both structures. We determined the differential contribution of articular and muscular structures to knee flexion contractures during spontaneous recovery. Rats (250, divided into 24 groups) had one knee joint surgically fixed in...

One of the most important research field in mechatronics, and particularly in robotics, regards the estimation of the dynamic parameters of a general mechanical system. Many researchers have tried to understand how obtain a good dynamic parameters estimation and what are the best methodologies to apply in order to find them; now some already tested methods are widely available (see, for example...
