DISCRETE ELEMENT MODELING OF DEFORMABLE PARTICLES IN YADE

Discrete element modeling of deformable particles in YADE

In this paper we describe the open-source discrete element framework YADE and the implementation of a new deformation engine.YADE is a highly expandable software package that allows the simulation of Rangemaster PROP110NGFSS/C Professional Plus 110cm 6 Burners A+/A+ Gas Range current industrial problems in the field of granular materials using part

How can we achieve universal access to low-cost treatment for HIV?

Mass production of low-cost antiretrovirals (ARVs) has already allowed over 17 million individuals to access treatment for HIV infection, mainly in low-income countries.It is possible to manufacture combination ARVs for $110 per person-year, using tenofovir (TDF), lamivudine (3TC) and efavirenz (EFV).New combinations of ARVs costing as little as $6

Effects of full-body mirror exposure on eating pathology, body image and emotional states: Comparison between positive and negative verbalization.

Mirror exposure (ME) is an effective technique to improve body image.However, evidence on the underlying mechanisms and the optimal verbalization instruction during ME is lacking.Therefore, this experimental study analyzed mechanisms of ME and therapeutic outcomes by comparing positive (PV) and negative (NV) full-body verbalization.N = 73 healthy f

Toll-like receptor 4 in the interface between neuroimmune response and behavioral alterations caused by stress

Different stressors can elicit neuroinflammatory responses modulated by innate immunity receptors, such as the family of Toll-like receptors (TLRs).The TLR4, a pattern recognition receptor (PRR), is involved in many diseases, such as inflammatory and central nervous system (CNS) diseases.Stress exposure can regulate the expression of PRRs, includin
