Affine transformations accelerate the training of physics-informed neural networks of a one-dimensional consolidation problem.

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) leverage data and knowledge about a problem. They provide a nonnumerical pathway to solving partial differential equations by expressing the field solution as an artificial neural network. This approach has been applied successfully to various types of differential equations.

The effect of Caspian Sea water on mechanical properties and durability of concrete containing rice husk ash, nano [Formula: see text], and nano [Formula: see text].

Various studies have been recently conducted aiming at developing more sustainable cementitious systems so that concrete structures may not have a negative effect on the environment and are decomposed. It has been attempted to build sustainable binders by substituting silica fume, cement with fly ash, nano-silica, nano-alumina, and rice husk ash. In this paper, a series of experiments on concrete with different contents of rice husk ash (10%, 15%, and 20%), nano[Formula: see text] (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%), and nano[Formula: see text] (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%) are performed to analyze the durability and mechanical properties of samples under the curing condition of Caspian seawater.

Application of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Liver Biomechanics: A Systematic Review.

MRI-based biomechanical studies can provide a deep understanding of the mechanisms governing liver function, its mechanical performance but also liver diseases. In addition, comprehensive modeling of the liver can help improve liver disease treatment. Furthermore, such studies demonstrate the beginning of an engineering-level approach to how the liver disease affects material properties and liver function.

Dual effect of F-actin targeted carrier combined with antimitotic drug on aggressive colorectal cancer cytoskeleton: Allying dissimilar cell cytoskeleton disrupting mechanisms.

A recent approach to colon cancer therapy is to employ selective drugs with specific extra/intracellular sites of action. Alteration of cytoskeletal protein reorganization and, subsequently, to cellular biomechanical behaviour during cancer progression highly affects the cancer cell progress. Hence, cytoskeleton targeted drugs are an important class of cancer therapy agents.

Prevalence of qnr and aac(6')-Ib-cr Genes in Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella Pneumoniae from Imam Hussein Hospital in Tehran.

Background: Plasmid mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) has been shown to play an important role in resistance not only to quinolones, but also β-lactams and aminoglycosides. In fact, qnr genes are frequently carried along with β-lactamase determinants on the same plasmids. We studied the prevalence of qnrA, qnrB, qnrS and aac(6')-Ib-cr genes among quinolone and cephalosporin resistant clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.

Quinolone Susceptibility and Detection of qnr and aac(6')-Ib-cr Genes in Community Isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Background: Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes (PMQR) have been shown to play not only an important role in quinolone resistance, but also resistance to other antibiotics, particularly β-lactams and aminoglycosides. These genes are mainly associated with clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae. However, detection of PMQR genes in the community isolates can increase the dissemination rate of resistance determinants among bacteria.
