Several simulation studies have recently appeared in Biophysical Journal that investigate the formation of biomolecular condensates in the nucleus. These structures explain a large variety of biologic...
Wounds in the epithelium may lead to serious injurious events or chronic inflammatory diseases, however, multicellular organisms have the ability to self-repair wounds through the movement of epitheli...
The objective of this paper is to develop a computationally efficient simulation model of Calcium signalling in cardiomyocytes. The model considered here consists of more than two million stiff, nonli...
This study investigates experimentally, numerically, and analytically the performance of different string materials (Kevlar, synthetic gut, natural gut, and polyester) on badminton racquets. Vibration...
This work aims to develop a fast and practical computation method for MR simulations. The computational cost of MR simulations is often high because magnetizations of many isochromats are updated usin...
A new method for efficiently processing subsequences with RF pulses is proposed. Rather than using an iterative update approach, the proposed method computes the combined transition which combines all...
The proposed method was found to accelerate the simulation by ˜20 times when 3.9 million isochromats were simulated using spin-echo sequences. Even on a laptop computer, the proposed method was able t...
An efficient method for simulating pulse sequences is proposed. The proposed method computes and manages combined transitions, making MR simulation practical on a wide range of computers, including la...
The present work had as its main objective the development of a method for localizing and automatically segmenting lumbar intervertebral discs (IVD) in 3D from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with t...
The method presented here evolves from 2D segmentations in the sagittal profile using Gabor filters towards 3D segmentations. It works by detecting the spine curves and intensity regions corresponding...
The method showed average values of 85%, 83% and 96% for the Dice coefficient, sensitivity and specificity, respectively. The method correctly identified 65 of 68 (96%) IVD as either healthy or degene...
The developed method can be used to generate accurate 3D models of the IVD based on MRI, with AF/NP distinction and detection of marked degeneration by comparing each IVD with the remaining spine leve...
This article reviews recent developments in computational modeling of dry powder inhalers (DPIs). DPIs deliver drug formulations (sometimes blended with larger carrier particles) to a patient's lungs ...
During cell proliferation, cells grow and divide in order to obtain two new genetically identical cells. Understanding this process is crucial to comprehend other biological processes. Computational m...
For the first time, an iterative discrete model solved by the Radial Point Interpolation Method based on the Galerkin weak form was used to establish the system of equations from the reaction-diffusio...
It was found that an integration scheme of 6 × 6 per integration cell and influence-domains with only seven nodes allows to predict the cellular growth and division with the best balance between the r...
Even in a preliminary phase, the obtained results are promising, indicating that the algorithm might be a potential tool to study cell proliferation since it can predict cellular growth and division. ...
With the globalization of the world economy and the integration and heterogeneity of cultures, the collision between traditional settlements and local traditional culture, traditional culture and mode...
