Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a recessive genetic blood disorder exhibiting abnormal blood
rheology. Polymerization of sickle hemoglobin, due to a point mutation in the β‐globin gene …

During animal development, cells need to sense and adapt to mechanical forces from their
environment. Ultimately, these forces are transduced through the actomyosin cortex. How …

Stormwater detention basins are significant components for the sustainable management of
urban stormwater, aiming to control stormwater quantity (prevent from flooding) and quality …

Most previous numerical studies of inhalation drug delivery used monodisperse aerosols or
quantified deposition as the ratio of deposited particle number over the total number of …

Formation of the anteroposterior and dorsoventral body axis in Caenorhabditis elegans
depends on cortical flows and advection of polarity determinants. The role of this patterning …

Cephalization is a major innovation of animal evolution and implies a synchronization of
nervous system, mouth, and foregut polarization to align alimentary tract and sensomotoric …

70Research using C. elegans has led to fundamental insights into basic biological
mechanisms, including the genetic basis of programmed cell death and cell signaling, the …

Software process improvement and estimation is a vital issue in IT and software industries,
by drawing attention of developers and system analyst to wonder on how to improve quality …

Selfish genetic elements that act as post-segregation distorters cause lethality in non-carrier
individuals after fertilization. Two post-segregation distorters have been previously identified …

Many developmental processes are inherently robust due to network organization of the
participating factors and functional redundancy. The heterogeneity of the factors involved …
