Since the ventricular myocardium is made up of a band of myocardial fibres which are configured into a complicated three-dimensional helical way, some time spent handling and observing this teaching model can help any cardiologist involved in imaging methods to understand and interpret the structural basis of the motion patterns of the heart. We concede that we need the cooperation of all disci...

Polymer-clay nano-composite materials, in which nano-meter thick layers of clay dispersed in polymer matrix, have generally higher mechanical properties than normal polymeric materials. A new three-dimensional unit cell model has been developed for modeling three constituent phases including inclusion, interphase and matrix. The total elastic modulus of nano-composite is evaluated.  Numerical r...

The electronic band structure and elastic properties of the Cd16Se15Te solid state solution in framework density functional theory calculations are investigated. sample is constructed on original binary compound CdSe, which crystallizes cubic phase. Based structure, effective mass electron, heavy hole, light spin-orbit masses reduced G point calculated. In addition, exciton binding energy, refr...

The current investigation was designed to: (a) assess the impact of aging on elastic characteristics of single skeletal muscle fibers from young (N = 6) and older men (N = 6); and (b) correlate the potential changes, with the fiber contractile properties. Chemically skinned single muscle fibers (n = 235) from vastus lateralis muscle were maximally activated. Maximal force and cross-sectional ar...

x-ray diffraction peak profile analysis was used to identify changes in the lattice distortions during isothermal aging of fe-10ni-7mn (wt. %) maraging steel. integral peak breadths were analyzed using classical williamson-hall equation taking the elastic anisotropy into account. it was found that substantial lattice distortions rise during precipitation hardening which depend strongly on the s...

A quasistatic evolution problem for a phase transitions model with nonconvex energy density is considered in terms of Young measures. We focus on the particular case of a finite number of phases. The new feature consists in the usage of suitable regularity arguments in order to prove an existence result for the a notion of evolution presenting some improvements with respect to the one defined i...

In recent years a significant interest has been devoted to boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) due to their intriguing physical properties, which make them a possible alternative to their carbon brethren in regards to possible applications [1,2,3]. However, in contrast to CNTs for which many studies have been focused in their properties, including the mechanical ones, there are almost no data for B...

This paper presents elastic transactions, a variant of the transactional model. Upon conflict detection, an elastic transaction might drop what it did so far within a separate transaction that immediately commits, and initiate a new transaction which might itself be elastic. Elastic transactions are a complementary alternative to traditional transactions, particularly appealing when implementin...

We argue that, in many situations, fits to elastic scattering data that were historically, and frequently still are, considered “good”, are not justifiably so describable. Information about the dynamics of nucleon-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus scattering is lost when elastic scattering phenomenology is insufficiently ambitious. It is argued that in many situations, an alternative approach is appr...
