Non-nervous auxiliary structures play a significant role in sensory biology. They filter the
stimulus and transform it in a way that fits the animal's needs, thereby contributing to the …

This paper describes a new conceptual framework for three-dimensional turbomachinery
flow analysis and its use to assess fan stage attributes for mitigating adverse effects of inlet …

Flexible strain sensors have an irreplaceable role in critical and emerging fields, such as
electronic skins, flexible robots, and prosthetics. Although numerous efforts have been made …

Four types of mechanoreceptors in human skin are capable of sensing different stimuli and
transmitting fast adapting (FA) and slow adapting (SA) signals to the brain. To mimic these …

Commercial finite element modeling packages do not have the tools necessary to effectively
incorporate the complex anisotropic and heterogeneous material properties typical of the …

Objective Pacinian corpuscle hyperplasia typically presents as a tender nodule on the volar
aspect of the palm or digit, often following trauma. Histologically, it presents as one to …

This article presents an investigation into the perceptual vibrotactile thresholds for a range of
frequencies on both the inside and outside areas of the wrist when exciting the skin with …

The tricuspid valve is an atrioventricular valve that prevents blood backflow from the right
ventricle into the right atrium during ventricular contractions. It is important to study …

The Pacinian corpuscle (PC) is a dermal mechanoreceptor that responds to high-frequency
(20–1000 Hz) vibrations. The PC's structure allows transmission of vibrations through its …

The Pacinian corpuscle (PC) is the cutaneous mechanoreceptor responsible for sensation of
high-frequency (20–1000 Hz) vibrations. PCs lie deep within the skin, often in multicorpuscle …
