Axisymmetric Shell Modelling of Viscoelastic Yeast Cells in the Finite Strain Range
A novel theoretical model is developed to describe the whole response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts. In this contribution, a yeast is represented as a thin-walled, liquid-filled, impermeable, spherical sh...

Quantifying the Rationality of Rhythmic Signals
Rhythms and vibrations represent the quintessence of life, and they are ubiquitous (systemic) in all living systems. Recognising, unfolding these rhythms is paramount in medicine, for example, in the physiolog...

Open AccessPrestressed cells are prone to cytoskeleton failures under localized shear strain: an experimental demonstration on muscle precursor cells
We report on a wavelet based space-scale decomposition method for analyzing the response of living muscle precursor cells (C2C12 myoblasts and myotubes) upon sharp indentation with an AFM cantilever and quanti...

Open AccessEvidence of selection for an accessible nucleosomal array in human
Recently, a physical model of nucleosome formation based on sequence-dependent bending properties of the DNA double-helix has been used to reveal some enrichment of nucleosome-inhibiting energy barriers (NIEBs...

A Wavelet-Based Method for Multifractal Analysis of Medical Signals: Application to Dynamic Infrared Thermograms of Breast Cancer
We use the wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) method to perform multifractal analysis of the temporal fluctuations of breast skin temperature recorded using infrared (IR) thermography. When investigating ...

Sensing Nanometer Depth of Focused Optical Fields with Scanning Surface Plasmon Microscopy
Evanescent wave imaging has been developed in the past decades for discriminating sub-micronic structures confined on a planar surface from bulk medium. However, this imaging method assumes a correct orientati...

Spontaneous Oscillations During The Electrodeposition of Gold Thin Films
The galvanostatic electrodeposition of two-dimensional (2D) gold films along the surface of aqueous hydrogen tetrachloroaurate solutions coated by a positively charged dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DODA) monola...
