Turbulence suppression by cardiac-cycle-inspired driving of pipe flow
Flows through pipes and channels are, in practice, almost always turbulent, and the multiscale eddying motion is responsible for a major part of the encountered friction losses and pum** costs1. Conversely, for...

Monitoring Motor Symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease Under Long Term Acoustic Stimulation
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that presents motor (tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and instability) and non-motor dysfunctions. In this study we present a methodology to m...

Early Stages of Bone Fracture Healing: Formation of a Fibrin–Collagen Scaffold in the Fracture Hematoma
This work is concerned with the sequence of events taking place during the first stages of bone fracture healing, from bone breakup until the formation of early fibrous callus (EFC). The latter provides a scaf...

Suppression of cooling by strong magnetic fields in white dwarf stars
Cool white dwarf stars often have mysteriously strong magnetic fields (because their coolness suggests that they are old, and magnetic fields should decline in strength with age) and unexplained brightness var...

Source apportionment of the carcinogenic potential of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) associated to airborne PM10 by a PMF model
In order to perform a study of the carcinogenic potential of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), benzo(a)pyrene equivalent (BaP-eq) concentration was calculated and modelled by a receptor model based on po...
