Boundary element methods for axisymmetric heat conduction and thermoelastic deformations in nonhomogeneous solids by Yun, Bao Ing

“…Unlike the real boundary element approach for axisymmetric problems, the complex variable approach does not require the evaluation of complicated fundamental solutions involving elliptic integrals. To check the validity of all the boundary element procedures, they are applied to solve specific problems with known analytical solutions. …”

The effects of angiotensin-receptor blockade on mood and vigilance behaviour in a gamified foraging task by Morse, L

“…We therefore suggest that losartan may act anxiolytically to reduce threat-related worries and increase vigilant checking behaviours. This supports suggestions that losartan may be useful as an adjunct to exposure therapy, acting synergistically to improve clinical outcomes. …”

Atherogenesis and plaque rupture, surface/interface-related phenomena by Siegel, G., Berkholz, J., Klüßendorf, D., Knosalla, C., Zakrzewicz, A., Ermilov, E., Malmsten, M., Lindman, Bjorn

“…Since NFκB is inhibited by one reaction strand in this model and inhibits itself collagen and proteoglycan synthesis in the fibrous cap of the plaque, this double check (disinhibition) causes a stabilization of the fibrous cap through a specially strong collagen and proteoglycan production, which in addition is supported by circulating TGFβ. …”

Design of phase locked loop with PVT tolerance by Chong, Kok Foong

“…VCO dummies are normally added to the VCO in order to provide a uniform loading for each VCO delay stage. To check the impacts of different VCO dummy implementation on PLL jitter, five experimental charge pump PLLs are simulated with difference only in the dummy stages: (i) no dummy, (ii) simple dummy, (iii) single stage differential dummy, (iv) double stage differential dummy and (v) full differential dummy with the D2S converters. …”
