Influence of surrounding topography on earthquake ground motions in intermontane basin settings: insights from the Kathmandu basin

SUMMARY Intermontane basins in active orogenic regions face significant seismic hazard due to their proximity to sustained tectonic activity. While the sediments deposited in these basins create a relatively flat topography suitable for urban and…

Multilayer coatings for a multichannel Wolter-like x-ray imager with large field of view and high resolution: Experimental development and study of the instrument performance

The Toroidal x-ray Imager (TXI) is a multi-channel x-ray imager with a pseudo-Wolter configuration, allowing a large field of view and a high resolution for plasma characterization. The imager has three energy bands centered at 8.7, 13, and 17.5 keV…

From collagen denaturation caused by a COL1A2 variant to mineral disorganization and tubular occlusion in primary dentin with dentinogenesis imperfecta

Dentinogenesis Imperfecta (DI) is a rare genetic disorder that disrupts the structure and mechanical integrity of dentin, often through alterations to the collagen matrix. In cases associated with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, DI arises from COL1A1 or…

Noninvasive left ventricular end-diastolic pressure assessment using a novel workflow and device in primary care settings to enhance heart failure diagnosis

Objective . Heart failure (HF) is underdiagnosed in high-risk patients, motivating the development of screening workflows towards earlier identification. The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and screening yield of a non…

Hybrid reduced-order models for real-time simulation of blood perfusion in parameterized lobular structures

Abstract Perfusion through a liver lobule is influenced by a range of physiological parameters such as lobule geometry, permeability, blood viscosity, and pressure gradients. We present a hybrid reduced-order modeling approach for real-time…

Towards efficient prediction of buckling-induced delamination growth in composites under compressive fatigue loading conditions

Delaminations can significantly compromise the structural integrity of composite structures by creating regions of reduced bending stiffness that are prone to sublaminate buckling. Such buckling can in turn drive delamination growth and ultimately…
