Endothelial cells (EC) are ubiquitous-as vascular epithelial cells they line the inner surface of all vessels and are the contact surface with flowing blood. Macrovascular EC are the first line barrier between flowing blood and mural structures. The microvasculature includes EC-lined vessels that contact virtually every cell in the body. These EC are potent bioregulatory cells, modulating throm...

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the concepts of statisticalconvergence of sequences of fuzzy numbers defined by a modulus functionusing difference operator $Delta$ and give some inclusion relations.

An elastomer is a polymer with the property of viscoelasticity, generally having notably low Young's modulus and high yield strain compared with other materials.  Elastomers, in particular rubbers, are used in a wide variety of products ranging from rubber hoses, isolation bearings, and shock absorbers to tires. Rubber has good properties and is thermal and electrical resistant. We used carbon ...

We study the braneworld effective action in the two-brane RandallSundrum model. In the framework of this essentially-nonlocal action we reveal the origin of an infinite sequence of gravitational wave modes — the usual massless one as well as the tower of Kaluza-Klein massive ones. Mixing of the modes, which parametrically depends on the background value of the modulus of the extra dimension, ca...

Pharmacological methods to assess baroreflex sensitivity evoke supra-physiological blood pressure changes whereas computational methods use spontaneous fluctuations of blood pressure. The relationships among the different baroreflex assessment methods are still not fully understood. Although strong advocates for each technique exist, the differences between these methods need further clarificat...

Different equations of state (EOS) have been used to study pressure as a function of volume compressions at a given temperature. The critical test of EOS’ for solids under low compressions (<10GPa) by evaluating the pressure-volume derivative properties viz., isothermal bulk modulus and its pressure derivative calculated for BiFeO3. The elastic moduli such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’...

for the lattice constants i.e. 11 C , 12 C , 44 C , 44 12 C C − , 44 12 C C and bulk modulus B obtained using the Hartree (H) local field correction function has higher values in comparison with the results obtained for the same properties using Ichimaru-Utsumi (IU) local field correction function. The results for the Shear modulus ( C ′ ), deviation from Cauchy’s relation, Poisson’s ratio σ , ...

We report measurements of the bulk modulus of individual poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels along their swelling transition. The modulus is determined by measuring the volume deformation of the microgel as a function of osmotic pressure using dextran solutions. We find that the modulus softens through the transition, displaying a nonmonotonous behavior with temperature. This feature is corre...

A novel LSB-based image-hiding scheme that embeds secret data into the grayscale cover image is proposed in this paper. Several LSB-based image hiding schemes such as simple LSB substitution technique, optimal LSB substitution technique, greedy LSB substitution technique, modulus LSB substitution technique had been proposed. To provide good image quality of the stego-image while requiring a low...
