Various lung diseases, including pulmonary hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or bronchopulmonary dysplasia, are associated with structural and architectural alterations of the pulmonary vasculature. The light microscopic (LM) analysis of the blood vessels is limited by the fact that it is impossible to identify which generation of...

Packed bed reactors have been widely applied in industrial production, such as for catalytic hydrogenation. Numerical simulations are essential for the design and scale-up of packed beds, especially direct numerical simulation (DNS) methods, such as the lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM), which are the focus of future researches. However, the large den...

We introduce a new method (Doppler Velocity Reconstruction or DoVeR), for reconstructing two-component velocity fields from colour Doppler scans. DoVeR employs the streamfunction-vorticity equation, which satisfies mass conservation while accurately approximating the flow rate of rotation. We validated DoVeR using artificial colour Doppler images g...

Changes to the structure of nodes of Ranvier in the normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) of multiple sclerosis (MS) brains are associated with chronic inflammation. We show that the paranodal domains in MS NAWM are longer on average than control, with Kv1.2 channels dislocated into the paranode. These pathological features are reproduced in a model...
Machine learning methods provide powerful tools to map physical measurements to scientific categories. But are such methods suitable for discovering the ground truth about psychological categories? We use the science of emotion as a test case to explore this question. In studies of emotion, researchers use supervised classifiers, guided by emotion ...
Hydration plays an important role in the diffusion and sieving of ions within nanochannels. However, it is hard to quantitatively analyze the contribution of hydration to the diffusion rates due to the complex hydrogen-bond and charge interactions between atoms. Here, we quantitatively investigated the interfacial diffusion rates of a single hydrat...
