This work analyzes partial slip contact problems in the theory of linear viscoelasticity using both the semi-analytical method and nite element method. Such problems arise in metal-polymer contacts in orthopedic implants ...

We have shown that uniformly rotating vortex-containing gravitationally-bound solutions of the GPPE can be generated by starting the evolution from initial data obtained by integrating to convergence the (imaginary-time) ...

The problem of passive earth pressure is one of the important topics in Geotechnical engineering. At attempt is made in this thesis to generate passive earth pressure coefficients for general c-Φ soils using logarithmic ...

In nature, the interaction between two organisms largely relies on their ability to sense and respond to each other, which involves many specific chemicals and signaling pathways. Animals have evolved mechanisms to detect ...

Effective communication in animals comprise emission of a signal by a signaller and a response by a receiver, such that the interaction is beneficial to either only the signaller, or both the signaller and the receiver. ...

Lightweight, flexible, and easy-to-integrate solutions are in great demand in electronic devices. The present work deals with the preparation of Poly dimethyl siloxane (PDMS) based nanocomposite for suppressing electromagnetic ...

Intracellular protein degradation is required for maintaining the cellular proteome and regulating cellular processes. This pathway involves proximal ATP-dependent proteases that unfold and translocate proteins targeted ...

The capability of hand-held devices to acquire high-definition visual content has led to a tremendous increase in the number of images and videos captured daily. However, camera hardware and pipelines are not perfect and ...
