A Review On The Effects Of Chemotherapy Drugs And Cooling Alone Or In Combination On The Cell Cycle (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). A Review On The Effects Of Chemotherapy Drugs And Cooling Alone Or In Combination On The Cell Cycle. https://doi.org/10.21275/ART20179577

When it comes to cell proliferation, this is a process strictly controlled by extracellular signals, such as nutrients, growth factors, temperature, and more. Together, these establish the cell cycle control mechanism, which is the core of cell proli...

Humans are sensitive to the statistical regularities in action sequences carried out by others. In the present eyetracking study, we investigated whether this sensitivity can support the prediction of upcoming actions when observing unfamiliar action...

Explicit formulation for the Rayleigh wave field induced by surface stresses in an orthorhombic half-plane (2018)
Journal Article
Nobili, A., & Prikazchikov, D. A. (2018). Explicit formulation for the Rayleigh wave field induced by surface stresses in an orthorhombic half-plane. European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids, 70, 86-94

We develop an explicit asymptotic model for the Rayleigh wave field arising in case of stresses prescribed on the surface of an orthorhombic elastic half-plane. The model consists of an elliptic equation governing the behaviour within the half-plane,...
