Blood vessels are subjected to numerous biomechanical forces that work harmoniously but, when unbalanced because of vascular smooth muscle cell (vSMC) dysfunction, can trigger a wide range of ailments such as cerebrovascular, peripheral artery, and coronary artery diseases. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) serve as useful therapeutic tools that may help provide insight on the effect that su...

Abstract The uniaxial compressive strength test of hard rock is one the most worldwide applied tests for characterization in engineering and geology. as results this a basic parameter, used, example, design structures. In commonly standards, stress-controlled procedures using constant stress rates are recommended by wide range varying between 2 60 MPa/min and/or specific minimum time. Though ef...

During the construction of nuclear waste storage facilities, deep drilling, and geothermal energy development, high-temperature rocks are inevitably subjected to thermal shock. The physical mechanical behaviors granite treated with different shocks were analyzed by non-destructive (P-wave velocity test) destructive tests (uniaxial compression test Brazil splitting test). results show that P-wav...

The effect of reduction of material geometry in metal forming process is important and is more effective when material size less than 100 micron. Thin brass sheet of 30, 50, 90 micron thickness were tested by in-plane uniaxial and out-of-plane limit dome height (LDH) test to investigate the size effect. The test was carried for both as-received and annealed specimen. The microstructure of all t...

The dependences of neutron depolarization on applied magnetic field are deduced along trie magnetization hysteresis loop in terms of the Beau mortel of the critical state. The depolarization in uniaxial superconductors with the reversible magnetization, mcluding uniaxial magnetic superconductors,is also considered. A strong depolarization is expected ifthe neutrons travel along the vortex fines.
