The PaStiX (Parallel Sparse matriX package) is a open-source scientific library that provides a high performance parallel solver for very large sparse linear systems based on direct methods. Numerical ...

Composite fiber materials are superior materials due to their high strength and light weight. Composites reflect the properties of their constituents, which is proportional to the volume fraction of ...

Conventionally available Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) wood glues are polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) stabilized, with drawbacks like poor strength at high humidity, poor strength at high temperature and ...

Purpose: To investigate the ex vivo elastic modulus of human corneal stroma using tensile testing with optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging and its correlation with in vivo measurements using ...

Mechanical properties of thromboemboli play an important role in the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. However, very limited data on mechanical properties of human ...

Support material plays a leading role in the application of 3D printing to avoid deformation and enhance stability. This study aimed to fabricate the support structure by using hydroxypropyl ...

Geometry has always played a fundamental role in theoretical physics via symmetries and conservation laws. We present a geometric framework revealing a closer link between hydrodynamics and quantum ...

A number of essential processes in biology and materials science, such as vesicle fusion and fission as well as pore formation, change the membrane topology and require formation of saddle surfaces.
