On shear adhesion of adhesive fibrils by Linghu, Changhong, Du, Zihao, Sun, Yi, Chen, Weiqiu, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…Based on this compliance solution, a rigorous scaling law for shear adhesion strength is derived, which can predict the energy-controlled adhesion regime as well as the theoretical strength-limited regime, as the aspect ratio decreases. …”

Modelling the rheology of living cell cytoplasm: poroviscoelasticity and fluid-to-solid transition by Thekkethil, Namshad, Köry, Jakub, Guo, Ming, Stewart, Peter S., Hill, Nicholas A., Luo, Xiaoyu

“…Baseline simulations (neglecting the viscosity of the cytosol) indicate that the system exhibits seven different regimes across the parameter space spanned by the viscoelastic relaxation timescale of the cytoskeleton and the poroelastic diffusion timescale; these regimes agree qualitatively with experimental measurements. …”

Estimating evolutionary and demographic parameters via ARG-derived IBD by Huang, Z, Kelleher, J, Chan, Y, Balding, D

“…Inference of evolutionary and demographic parameters from a sample of genome sequences often proceeds by first inferring identical-by-descent (IBD) genome segments. By exploiting efficient data encoding based on the ancestral recombination graph (ARG), we obtain three major advantages over current approaches: (i) no need to impose a length threshold on IBD segments, (ii) IBD can be defined without the hard-to-verify requirement of no recombination, and (iii) computation time can be reduced with little loss of statistical efficiency using only the IBD segments from a set of sequence pairs that scales linearly with sample size. …”

An investigation of friction-based tendon sheath model appropriate for control purposes by Tjahjowidodo, Tegoeh, Lau, Michael Wai Shing, Phee, Soo Jay, Do, T. N.

“…A new dynamic friction model that allows accurate description of friction lag and hysteresis behavior in two regimes, i.e. presliding and sliding regimes, for a sheath in arbitrary configuration such as helical and spatial shape has been developed. …”

Nonlinear evolution and acceleration of unstable fuel-lean hydrogen/air flame at normal and cryogenic temperatures by Yang, L, Zhang, T, Wang, Y, Fang, X, Leach, F, Chen, Z

“…By changing the equivalence ratio, initial temperature and channel size, the intensity of DLI and DTI varies, resulting in various regimes of flame evolution. It is found that cryogenic flames are more unstable than normal flames. …”

The four worlds of ‘welfare reality’ – social risks and outcomes in Europe by Ferragina, E, Seeleib-Kaiser, M, Spreckelsen, T

“…After three decades of welfare state crisis, change and transformation can we still speak of welfare state regimes when looking at their outcomes? The analysis of outcomes provides a picture of ‘the real worlds of welfare’ and is of considerable importance to understanding political legitimacy across countries. …”

Isentropic diagnostics of mean circulation and water vapour budget for the Asian monsoon by Lee, Shao Yi
