Cell Adhesion and Matrix Stiffness: Coordinating Cancer Cell Invasion and Metastasis
(2018)Metastasis is a multistep process in which tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) and cancer cell cytoskeleton interactions are pivotal. ECM is connected, through integrins, to the cell's adhesome at cell-ECM adhesion sites and ...

Cessation of the lid-driven cavity flow of Newtonian and Bingham fluids
(2016)We provide benchmark results for a transient variant of the lid-driven cavity problem, where the lid motion is suddenly stopped and the flow is left to decay under the action of viscosity. Results include Newtonian as well ...

Changes in the electronic properties of Bi2X3 (X: Se, Te) single crystals due to intercalation
(1997)Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3 are layered semiconductors n-type and p-type, respectively, which belong to the family of thermoelectric materials. In this work we examine the insertion of Cu in Bi 2Te3 and Bi2Se3 single crystals through ...

Characterisation and tribological evaluation of nitrogen-containing molybdenum-copper PVD metallic nanocomposite films
(2005)This paper reports on the structural, mechanical and tribological properties of molybdenum-copper nanocomposite films 'doped' with small amounts of nitrogen, which contain either no nitride phase (i.e. the nitrogen is held ...

Choi-Wiliams time frequency analysis of a three degree freedom non-linear system
(Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, 2006)The response of a non-linear mechanical oscillator, depending on the type of non-linearity, to an excitation of particular harmonic might contain sub- and super-harmonics, transients and chaotic components. The conventional ...

Coating effects on the galling behaviour of aluminium metal forming processes
(2019)This paper investigates the effect of coatings on the galling behaviour in metal forming processes. To investigate this phenomenon, pin-on-disc tests were conducted on the Anton Paar THT tribometer with discs manufactured ...

Coevolution of solid stress and interstitial fluid pressure in tumors during progression: Implications for vascular collapse
(2013)The stress harbored by the solid phase of tumors is known as solid stress. Solid stress can be either applied externally by the surrounding normal tissue or induced by the tumor itself due to its growth. Fluid pressure is ...

Coexistence of ferromagnetic and glassy behavior in semiconducting LaNi 0.2Co 0.8O 3
(2002)Systematic dc and ac magnetic susceptibility studies have been performed on single-phase LaNi 0.2Co 0.8O 3 powder samples. Evidence of hysteresis loops supports the existence of ferromagnetic correlations that lead to a ...

Coherent structures in oscillating turbulent boundary layers over a fixed rippled bed
(2013)Coherent structures generated by oscillating turbulent boundary layers with or without a unidirectional current over a fixed, rippled bed are presented. The effect of ripple height and current intensity on the characteristics ...

Cointegration and nonstationarity in the context of multiresolution analysis
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2011)Cointegration has established itself as a powerful means of projecting out long-term trends from time-series data in the context of econometrics. Recent work by the current authors has further established that cointegration ...

Article
Collagen content and extracellular matrix cause cytoskeletal remodelling in pancreatic fibroblasts
(2019)In many solid tumours a desmoplastic reaction takes place, which results in tumour tissue stiffening due to the extensive production of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, such as collagen, by stromal cells, mainly ...

Combined optimisation of design and power management of the hydraulic hybrid propulsion system for the 6 × 6 medium truck
(2004)Hybrid propulsion systems are one of the critical technologies on the roadmap to future ultra-efficient trucks. While there is a significant body of work related to hybrid passenger cars and light commercial trucks, there ...

Combining two strategies to improve perfusion and drug delivery in solid tumors
(2013)Blood perfusion in tumors can be significantly lower than that in the surrounding normal tissue owing to the leakiness and/or compression of tumor blood vessels. Impaired perfusion reduces oxygen supply and results in a ...

A comparative mass spectroscopic study between infrared and ultraviolet laser ablation of a superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-x target
(1999)Time-of-flight mass spectra of ionic species produced by the laser ablation of a YBa2Cu3O7-x target have been measured. The experimental geometry and laser conditions used in this study are similar to those used for the ...

Comparative study of the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of a metallic and a semiconducting member of the solid solution LaNixCo1-xO3
(2003)A metallic and a semiconducting member of the solid solution LaNixCo1-xO3 (x=0.2, 0.6) with their magnetic and magnetotransport properties was investigated. The members of the perovskite solid solution were found on opposite ...
