AI Article Synopsis

  • A new technique is introduced for tracking the changing shape of a moving surface using Lagrangian coordinates while keeping calculations based on the original surface's geometry.
  • The method effectively addresses three nonlinear elasticity issues: the bulging of a thin plate, the buckling of a spherical shell, and capillary wrinkles in thin films.
  • In the capillary wrinkle study, adding a gravitational potential-energy term enhances the accuracy of the model's predictions compared to experimental results.

Article Abstract

A concise method for following the evolving geometry of a moving surface using Lagrangian coordinates is described. All computations can be done in the fixed geometry of the initial surface despite the evolving complexity of the moving surface. The method is applied to three problems in nonlinear elasticity: the bulging of a thin plate under pressure (the original motivation for Föppl-von Karman theory), the buckling of a spherical shell under pressure, and the phenomenon of capillary wrinkles induced by surface tension in a thin film. In this last problem the inclusion of a gravitational potential-energy term in the total energy improves the agreement with experiment.

Nanocomposites that mimic the characteristics of enzymes, commonly as nanozymes, can function as an efficient sensing material with high selectivity towards the targeted biological macromolecule. These nanozymes overcome of the challenges that arise when using natural enzymes as sensing material. This study presents a novel nanozyme, Copper Selenite (CuSeO) nanoparticles mounted on f-CNF, to electrochemically determine a potential cardiovascular biomarker, Glutathione (GSH).

  • Measuring the heart rate of sea turtles helps us understand their physiological adaptations, particularly focusing on the non-invasive ECG methods developed for loggerhead turtles.
  • The study explored alternative electrode placements on the plastron of green sea turtles, finding successful ECG readings when the negative electrode was positioned near the neck.
  • Results showed that resting heart rates averaged about 8.6 beats per minute, aligning with previous studies, and highlight the need for careful individual selection to improve measurement reliability.

Observations of Cherenkov-Like Radial Wake in Water Waves.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Ocean Observation‑Imaging Testbed of Zhejiang Province, Ocean College, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310058, China.

Cherenkov radiation (CR) is a fascinating phenomenon that occurs not only in electromagnetic (EM) waves but also in water waves. The V-shaped wake formed by a moving object on the water surface results from the constructive interference of water waves of different wavelengths, similar to CR. We designed and fabricated a one-dimensional (1D) water wave crystal to analogize the behavior of moving particles in water waves.

Background: Detrusor underactivity (DUA) is a lower urinary tract (LUT) diagnosis that is diagnosed with multichannel urodynamic studies (UDS). The effect of voiding position and DUA detection is unclear.

Objectives: We investigated whether moving individuals from the UDS chair to their typical voiding position would more accurately assess detrusor function in cases of absent or nonrepresentative voiding.

Human postural control system has the capacity to adapt to balance-challenging perturbations. However, the characteristics and mechanisms of postural adaptation to continuous perturbation under the sensory conflicting environments remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the functional role of oscillatory coupling drive to lower-limb muscles with changes in balance control during postural adaptation under multisensory congruent and incongruent environments.
