Quality and functionality of engineered tissues are closely related to the microstructures and integrity of their extracellular matrix (ECM). However, currently available methods for characterizing ECM structures are often labor-intensive, destructive, and limited to a small fraction of the total area. These methods are also inappropriate for assessing temporal variations in ECM structures. In ...

The impedance of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries contains information about the dynamics and state parameters battery. This can be utilized to improve performance safety battery application. is typically modeled by an equivalent-circuit-model (ECM), which provides dynamic In addition, variations in model used for estimation. A fitting algorithm required parametrize ECM due nonlinearity both ECM....

We propose and study computationally a novel non-local multiscale moving boundary mathematical model for tumour oncolytic virus (OV) interactions when we consider the go or grow hypothesis cancer dynamics. This spatio-temporal focuses on two cell phenotypes that can be infected with OV remain uninfected, which either move in response to extracellular-matrix (ECM) den...

The state of health (SOH) is critical to the efficient and reliable use lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Recently, SOH estimation method based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been proven effective. In response different practical applications, two models for are proposed in this paper. Aiming at equivalent circuit model (ECM) method, a variety ECMs proposed. Used EIS predict EC...

  Background and Objectives: Biological scaffold resources composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) have been shown to make easy the practical remodeling of various tissues in both animal and human studies. The goal of current study was to make sheet form of ECM from sheep’s urinary bladder. Methods: ECM was extracted from Sheep’s urinary bladder according to standard method. Scanning electron ...

The receptors 1 and 2 of fibroblast growth factor (FGFR1 and FGFR2, respectively) have been observed in all types of testicular cells. Culture on extracellular matrix (ECM) has been observed to lead to initiation of differentiation in spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). The present study was carried out to investigate whether FGFR1 and FGFR2 play a role in SSCs differentiation. Following isolatio...

Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine (SPARC) is one of the major non-structural proteins of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in remodeling tissues. The functional significance of SPARC is emphasized by its origin in the first multicellular organisms and its high degree of evolutionary conservation. Although SPARC has been shown to act as a critical modulator of ECM remodeling with profoun...

A novel multi-pass speech recognition method is presented. The method is organized as two stages. The rst stage decodes the input speech based on an acoustic model and outputs the most probable sequence of basic units. The second stage searches for the most probable word sequence in the decoding output of the rst stage. The novel point is use of an error correction model (ECM) in the second sta...

The most employed technique to mimic the behavior of lithium-ion cells monitor and control them is equivalent circuit model (ECM). This modeling tool should be precise enough ensure system’s reliability. Two significant parameters that affect accuracy ECM are applied current rate operating temperature. Without a thorough understating influence these on ECM, parameter estimation carried out manu...
