Subcortical brain anatomy as a potential biomarker of persistent pain after total knee replacement in osteoarthritis.

The neural mechanisms for the persistence of pain after a technically successful arthroplasty in osteoarthritis (OA) remain minimally studied, and direct evidence of the brain as a predisposing factor for pain chronicity in this setting has not been investigated. We undertook this study as a first effort to identify presurgical brain and clinical markers of postarthroplasty pain in knee OA. Patients with knee OA (n = 81) awaiting total arthroplasty underwent clinical and psychological assessment and brain magnetic resonance imagining. Postoperative pain scores were measured at 6 months after surgery. Brain subcortical anatomic properties (volume and shape) and clinical indices were studied as determinants of postoperative pain. We show that presurgical subcortical volumes (bilateral amygdala, thalamus, and left hippocampus), together with shape deformations of the right anterior hippocampus and right amygdala, associate with pain persistence 6 months after surgery in OA. Longer pain duration, higher levels of presurgical anxiety, and the neuropathic character of pain were also prognostic of postsurgical pain outcome. Brain and clinical indices accounted for unique influences on postoperative pain. Our study demonstrates the presence of presurgical subcortical brain factors that relate to postsurgical persistence of OA pain. These preliminary results challenge the current dominant view that mechanisms of OA pain predominantly underlie local joint mechanisms, implying novel clinical management and treatment strategies.

Moisture‐Thermal Stable, Superhydrophilic Alumina‐Based Ceramics Fabricated by a Selective Laser Sintering 3D Printing Strategy for Solar Steam Generation

AbstractThe solar‐driven interface evaporation is one of the most promising technologies for desalination and wastewater purification. However, in the ebb and flow of the tide, water absorbed in the hydrophilic evaporator bottom would significantly change, leading to the shape deformation of the system and further failure of solar steam generation. Here it is reported that the moisture‐thermal stable and superhydrophilic alumina‐based ceramics can be fabricated by a selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing strategy. The printed alumina‐based ceramics possess superhydrophilicity. Along the side surface of the printed sample, a 5 µL water droplet can be fast absorbed in 14 ms. Most importantly, they can maintain stable and high evaporation efficiency even after being dried out for ten times, demonstrating the excellent physical resistance to continuous moisture‐thermal transition. Finally, the “I‐shaped” evaporators are printed with salt‐resistant ability, which can maintain a steady high evaporation efficiency in seawater and 20 wt% brine for long‐term steam generation process. The moisture‐thermal stable alumina‐based ceramics prepared in this work will provide inspiration for stable solar steam generation materials, and expand the development of 3D printing functional materials.

Kinetic control of shape deformations and membrane phase separation inside giant vesicles.

A variety of cellular processes use liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) to create functional levels of organization, but the kinetic pathways by which it proceeds remain incompletely understood. Here in real time, we monitor the dynamics of LLPS of mixtures of segregatively phase-separating polymers inside all-synthetic, giant unilamellar vesicles. After dynamically triggering phase separation, we find that the ensuing relaxation-en route to the new equilibrium-is non-trivially modulated by a dynamic interplay between the coarsening of the evolving droplet phase and the interactive membrane boundary. The membrane boundary is preferentially wetted by one of the incipient phases, dynamically arresting the progression of coarsening and deforming the membrane. When the vesicles are composed of phase-separating mixtures of common lipids, LLPS within the vesicular interior becomes coupled to the membrane's compositional degrees of freedom, producing microphase-separated membrane textures. This coupling of bulk and surface phase-separation processes suggests a physical principle by which LLPS inside living cells might be dynamically regulated and communicated to the cellular boundaries.

Magnetic Continuum Robot with Intraoperative Magnetic Moment Programming.

Magnetic continuum robots (MCRs), which are free of complicated structural designs for transmission, can be miniaturized and are therefore widely used in the medical field. However, the deformation shapes of different segments, including deflection directions and curvatures, are difficult to control simultaneously under an external programmable magnetic field. This is because the latest MCRs have designs with an invariable magnetic moment combination or profile of one or more actuating units. Therefore, the limited dexterity of the deformation shape causes the existing MCRs to collide readily with their surroundings or makes them unable to approach difficult-to-reach regions. These prolonged collisions are unnecessary or even hazardous, especially for catheters or similar medical devices. In this study, a novel magnetic moment intraoperatively programmable continuum robot (MMPCR) is introduced. By applying the proposed magnetic moment programming method, the MMPCR can deform under three modalities, that is, J, C, and S shapes. Additionally, the deflection directions and curvatures of different segments in the MMPCR can be modulated as desired. Furthermore, the magnetic moment programming and MMPCR kinematics are modeled, numerically simulated, and experimentally validated. The experimental results exhibit a mean deflection angle error of 3.3° and correspond well with simulation results. Comparisons between navigation capacities of the MMPCR and MCR demonstrate that the MMPCR has a higher capacity for dexterous deformation.

Effect of the Waveform of the Pulsed Electric Field on the Cylindrical Deformation of Uncharged Giant Unilamellar Vesicles.

High-speed imaging of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) in recent years has shown significant shape deformation of these vesicles under electroporating direct current (DC) pulsed electric fields, possibly altering the surface distribution of transmembrane potential (TMP) and, thereby, the location and extent of electroporation on the bilayer membrane. The development of TMP, the corresponding shape deformation, and the extent of electroporation depend upon the waveform of the applied electric field. In this work, the deformation of vesicles was carried out under a high-intensity, single cycle of a sinusoidal pulsed electric field (SSPEF) and a square wave pulsed electric field (SWPEF). The cylindrical shape deformations of vesicles were observed for both SSPEF and SWPEF and were dependent upon the ratio of conductivity of the inner medium to the outer medium, α. For α = 1 and α > 1, the vesicles deformed into prolate cylinders as a result of Maxwell stress, whereas they were compressed into oblate cylinders for α < 1. Vesicles subjected to a SSPEF relaxed following either the pore closure dominated t2 or the efflux and lipid loss dominated, slow t3 mechanism depending upon the value of α. For α = 1 and α < 1, the relaxation of the vesicles was found to be predominantly dependent upon pore closure. On the other hand, a majority of vesicles gained excess area during poration when α > 1, which can be attributed to a higher TMP and faster charging of the membrane. The predictions of the approximate model for the deformation of vesicles agreed with the experiment, with deviations between the two as a result of the simplicity of the model. Moreover, the degree of deformation of vesicles [measured by the aspect ratio (AR)] and shape deformations of vesicles were found to be dependent upon the pulse width (TP) and amplitude (E0) of the SSPEF. The specific temporal variation of pore-forming tendencies of SSPEF and SWPEF, with their associated peculiarities, can be judiciously used for controlling electroporation in cells and vesicles.

The Design of Cavity Resonators and Microwave Filters Applying Shape Deformation Techniques

This article introduces shape deformation as a new approach to the computer-aided design (CAD) of high-frequency components. We show that geometry deformation opens up new design possibilities and offers additional degrees of freedom in the 3-D modeling of microwave structures. Such design flexibility is highly desirable if the full potential of additive manufacturing (AM) is to be exploited in the fabrication of RF and microwave devices. The use of deformation techniques in the design of high-frequency components allows the attainment of improved electrical parameters, such as high-quality factors for cavity resonators and wide higher-order mode separation. In this work, shape deformation with radial basis functions (RBFs) is integrated with an electromagnetic field simulator based on the 3-D finite-element method (FEM), allowing the semiautomated optimization of microwave components, such as cavity resonators and filters. The proposed strategy is used for the design of high <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$Q$</tex-math> </inline-formula> -factor cavity resonators, cavity bandpass filters with improved spurious mode separation, and a compact twisted waveguide filter. Three designs of waveguide cavity filters with complex geometry are experimentally verified using 3-D-printed prototypes fabricated with selective laser melting (SLM) technology.

Geometry-induced patterns through mechanochemical coupling.

Intracellular protein patterns regulate a variety of vital cellular processes such as cell division and motility, which often involve dynamic cell-shape changes. These changes in cell shape may in turn affect the dynamics of pattern-forming proteins, hence leading to an intricate feedback loop between cell shape and chemical dynamics. While several computational studies have examined the rich resulting dynamics, the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. To elucidate some of these mechanisms, we explore a conceptual model for cell polarity on a dynamic one-dimensional manifold. Using concepts from differential geometry, we derive the equationsgoverning mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems on time-evolving manifolds. Analyzing these equationsmathematically, we show that dynamic shape changes of the membrane can induce pattern-forming instabilities in parts of the membrane, which we refer to as regional instabilities. Deformations of the local membrane geometry can also (regionally) suppress pattern formation and spatially shift already existing patterns. We explain our findings by applying and generalizing the local equilibria theory of mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems. This allows us to determine a simple onset criterion for geometry-induced pattern-forming instabilities, which is linked to the phase-space structure of the reaction-diffusion system. The feedback loop between membrane shape deformations and reaction-diffusion dynamics then leads to a surprisingly rich phenomenology of patterns, including oscillations, traveling waves, and standing waves, even if these patterns do not occur in systems with a fixed membrane shape. Our paper reveals that the local conformation of the membrane geometry acts as an important dynamical control parameter for pattern formation in mass-conserving reaction-diffusion systems.

Analysis of Heavy Motor Vehicle Chassis Frame with Different Materials Equipped with CNG Cylinders of Composite Materials Using CAE Tools

Abstract: The transport sector now has a significant impact on both the economies of developed and developing nations The frame, also known as the chassis, is the main part of the vehicle because it has the highest design stress. This is vehicle support as all components are only supported on the chassis. Using the chassis as a platform, the front and rear suspensions are connected without dropping. At the same time, it can also be used for sudden stops, bumpy roads, and high-speed driving. It has sufficient rigidity to withstand impact, deflection, bending, vibration and shape deformation caused by causes. Scientific data obtained from various studies to date, weight, stress and strength, deformation, etc. have proven to be ideal for many factors. This can be done by changing the section and material of the chassis frame. The material chosen for this project is AISI4130 for LPO 1613 CNG BS-IV OBDII Front Engine Bus for Delhi Integrated Intermodal Transport System (DIMTS). Create 3D models in CAE Solid-works and analyze them with ANSYS 19.2. Automotive composite CNG cylinders are the best combination of the latest technology using carbon fiber reinforced seamless aluminum inner liner

Co-Delivery of a Martian Probe Network

Motivated by a need for lower-cost planetary science missions to Mars, this study considers the problem of co-delivering a network of small rough landers to the Martian surface such that the probes are placed on different entry trajectories by a single carrier spacecraft without requiring translational maneuvers between probe deployments. The Small High Impact Energy Landing Device is used as a reference design, and a flight-mechanics analysis is performed to ensure requirements are met under the influence of relevant uncertainties. A linearized targeting method is developed and applied to design probe jettison velocities for a regional probe network. Monte Carlo analysis shows that a regional network approximately 100 km in scale could be passively co-delivered with limited deformation of the network shape despite the influence of relevant uncertainties, and linearized targeting errors are quantified. Nonlinear numerical optimization is applied and enables the design of probe jettisons for co-delivery of larger-scale networks. Additional Monte Carlo analyses quantify the rate at which delivery error increases with network scale.

Analyzing softening and hardening behavior in vibration of a thin incompressible hyperelastic cylindrical shell

This study focuses on nonlinear vibration of a thin incompressible hyperelastic cylindrical shell subjected to radial harmonic excitation. Mooney–Rivlin model is used to find the Strain Energy Density and model the material’s nonlinear behavior. The independent bending terms are considered for shape deformation of the middle surface. The nonlinear relevant equations of motion are obtained using Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory and Lagrange’s equation based on the small strain hypothesis. In this study, the linear and nonlinear models are verified by comparing the present theory’s natural frequency results with corresponding results obtained using a finite element method. Subsequently, the derived equations are solved under undamped and free vibration conditions, leading to an equation of motion in the form of a Duffing equation. This equation is then analyzed using the Lindstedt-Poincaré technique. Multiple Scale Method is used to address the system of coupled nonlinear equations in the presence of harmonic force and damping term. Backbone curves and amplitude response for both asymmetric and axisymmetric modes are presented by considering coupled and, non-coupled governed equations. The effects of the geometrical and material characteristics are studied on the free and forced vibration of shell structure as well as the impact of shape function, which describe the deformation of the middle surface, on both backbone and amplitude-response.

MAGIC: Mask-Guided Image Synthesis by Inverting a Quasi-robust Classifier

We offer a method for one-shot mask-guided image synthesis that allows controlling manipulations of a single image by inverting a quasi-robust classifier equipped with strong regularizers. Our proposed method, entitled MAGIC, leverages structured gradients from a pre-trained quasi-robust classifier to better preserve the input semantics while preserving its classification accuracy, thereby guaranteeing credibility in the synthesis. Unlike current methods that use complex primitives to supervise the process or use attention maps as a weak supervisory signal, MAGIC aggregates gradients over the input, driven by a guide binary mask that enforces a strong, spatial prior. MAGIC implements a series of manipulations with a single framework achieving shape and location control, intense non-rigid shape deformations, and copy/move operations in the presence of repeating objects and gives users firm control over the synthesis by requiring to simply specify binary guide masks. Our study and findings are supported by various qualitative comparisons with the state-of-the-art on the same images sampled from ImageNet and quantitative analysis using machine perception along with a user survey of 100+ participants that endorse our synthesis quality.

Compressive properties of aluminum middle-trabecular beetle elytron plates with a large height-to-thickness ratio core

To develop lightweight and high-strength biomimetic structural materials, the compression characteristics of aluminum middle-trabecular beetle elytron plates (MBEPa) with a large height-to-thickness ratio (β) core were investigated by flat compression tests and finite element simulations, and the results are as follows. 1) Compared with aluminum honeycomb plates (HPa), the core compressive strength and energy absorption of MBEPa with two trabeculae per honeycomb can increase by 12.4 % and 28.6 %, respectively, with an increase of about 1.8 % in the total volume; and for the first time, the MBEPa core structure with a large β was found to have a triple interval deformation morphology with a small C or S shape deformation in the central part. 2) Compared with HPa, MBEPa with six trabeculae has a 9.3 % increase in total volume, 106.7 % increase in compressive strength and 147.3 % increase in energy absorption core. 3) Compared with the BEPs with a small β, with the increase of trabeculae, the compressive property increase of the large-β ones reflects the characteristic of "small in the early stage and large in the later stage". And the strengthening and influence mechanism of trabecula on the compressive properties and deformation was revealed from the perspectives of the aforementioned core deformation characteristics and the constraining effect of skins.

Statistical shape analysis of Corpus Callosum in vaginismus

Aim of the studyVaginismus is the presence spasm of the muscles in the vagina in the absence of any disease. Neurological diseases can cause degenerative changes in brain structures such as the corpus callosum (CC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the corpus callosum of patients with vaginismus with statistical shape analysis (SSA) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images and compare it with healthy controls.Subject or material and methodsTen female patients with vaginismus and healthy individuals who met the study criteria, were equal in number and age were selected as the control. Mid-sagittal T1-weighted MRI images of each individual were obtained, and the corpus callosum was marked with software on each image using anatomical landmarks, and data were collected.

Maximum CC deformation was observed in almost all regions markings in those with vaginismus. In the evaluation of allometry, multivariate regression test was used for the relationship between size and shape and a statistically significant model was obtained for CC.DiscussionCC analysis with SSA using MRI images revealed significant differences between patients and healthy subjects.ConclusionsThe study findings highlighted the abnormal distribution of white matter in the corpus callosum and the variable subregional nature of CC in vaginismus patients. This study may help future studies in terms of vaginismus etiology, diagnosis and treatment options.

In mid-sagittal images of each individual, the CC was marked using landmarks. The mean of 'Procrustes' points was calculated and shape deformations were evaluated using thin plate spline analysis.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the CC area of prayers and controls. Maximum CC deformation was observed in the body and rostrum region markings during prayers. There was no significant difference in the other parameters of the individuals who performed regular prayers compared to the controls.ConclusionsCorpus callosum analysis with SSA revealed differences between prayers and healthies. The study findings highlighted the abnormal distribution of white matter in the CC and the variable subregional nature of CC in prayers. The study findings showed that shape analysis could be a useful technique to show variations in the corpus callosum using MRI images.

The unified nonlocal peridynamics-based phase-field damage theory

The peridynamic correspondence model is a promising and attractive candidate for the modeling of localized failure in solids, in that it can incorporate many local classical damage constitutive models through introducing a nonlocal averaged deformation gradient. However, the zero-energy mode and the limited bond breaking criterion greatly restrict the potential applications of this correspondence model. To address these two problems, a unified nonlocal peridynamics-based phase-field damage theory is proposed within the framework of thermodynamics. Firstly, the unified correspondence principle for the displacement field is developed on the basis of the energy compensation method in such a way that a new peridynamic deformation gradient, shape matrix and force state are derived and redefined. And then, the proposed principle is applied to derive the nonlocal phase-field damage constitutive model that the general nonlocal phase-field flux, phase-field flow state and phase-field internal force are defined. Moreover, we propose a mixed variational derivative method to obtain the coupled equilibrium governing equation and present the general linearization approach of the proposed peridynamics-based phase-field model (PD-PFM), where the double states for the coupled displacement and phase fields are derived in detail. It will be found that PD-PFM can not only resolve the zero-energy mode existed in the conventional peridynamic correspondence model, but also provide a rational criterion for the breakage of the peridynamic bond. Some representative numerical examples including mixed mode fracture of single-material media and interface fracture of ceramic coating systems are presented for the validation of PD-PFM. The satisfactory results show both quantitative and qualitative agreement with the available experiment.

Longitudinal Morphometric Changes in the Corticospinal Tract Shape After Hemorrhagic Stroke.

Deep intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) exerts a direct force on corticospinal tracts (CST) causing shape deformation. Using serial MRI, Generalized Procrustes Analysis (GPA), and Principal Components Analysis (PCA), we temporally evaluated the change in CST shape. Thirty-five deep ICH patients with ipsilesional-CST deformation were serially imaged on a 3T-MRI with a median imaging time of day-2 and 84 of onset. Anatomical and diffusion tensor images (DTI) were acquired. Using DTI color-coded maps, 15 landmarks were drawn on each CST and the centroids were computed in 3 dimensions. The contralesional-CST landmarks were used as a reference. The GPA outlined the shape coordinates and we superimposed the ipsilesional-CST shape at the two-time points. A multivariate PCA was applied to identify eigenvectors associated with the highest percentile of change. The first three principal components representing CST deformation along the left-right (PC1), anterior-posterior (PC2), and superior-inferior (PC3) respectively were responsible for 57.9% of shape variance. The PC1 (36.1%, p < 0.0001) and PC3 (9.58%, p < 0.01) showed a significant deformation between the two-time points. Compared to the contralesional-CST, the ipsilesional PC scores were significantly (p < 0.0001) different only at the first-timepoint. A significant positive association between the ipsilesional-CST deformation and hematoma volume was observed. We present a novel method to quantify CST deformation caused by ICH. Deformation most often occurs in left-right axis (PC1) and superior-inferior (PC3) directions. As compared to the reference, the significant temporal difference at the first time point suggests CST restoration over time.

An improved displacement adjustment method for overlarge deformation of valve at the cryogenic temperatures

Cryogenic valves are mostly designed at the room temperatures and served at the cryogenic temperatures. The wide temperature difference between design and service conditions causes the overlarge deformation of the valve stem structure, resulting in the cryogenic valve prone to leakage, stuck and other unsafety issues. In this study, an improved displacement adjustment (IDA) compensation method is proposed to solve the problem of size over-tolerance and shape deformation of the valve stem at the cryogenic temperatures. The shape of the valve stem is redesigned by combining IDA and the finite element method to meet its ideal service requirements under the cryogenic conditions. One of the features of the IDA method is to optimize the compensation direction by considering the angle change of normal vector on valve stem surface. Another is to improve the iteration efficiency by recognizing the compensation factor through the Lagrange interpolation algorithm. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed compensation method can effectively reduce the size and shape deviation of the valve stem. Therefore, this study provides a new method to reduce the stem deviation at the cryogenic temperatures by the shape compensation, which has reference significance for the design of other low temperature components.

PH-Modulated Nanoarchitectonics for Enhancement of Multivalency-Induced Vesicle Shape Deformation at Receptor-Presenting Lipid Membrane Interfaces.

Multivalent ligand-receptor interactions between receptor-presenting lipid membranes and ligand-modified biological and biomimetic nanoparticles influence cellular entry and fusion processes. Environmental pH changes can drive these membrane-related interactions by affecting membrane nanomechanical properties. Quantitatively, however, the corresponding effects on high-curvature, sub-100 nm lipid vesicles are scarcely understood, especially in the multivalent binding context. Herein, we employed the label-free localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing technique to track the multivalent attachment kinetics, shape deformation, and surface coverage of biotin ligand-functionalized, zwitterionic lipid vesicles with different ligand densities on a streptavidin receptor-coated supported lipid bilayer under varying pH conditions (4.5, 6, 7.5). Our results demonstrate that more extensive multivalent interactions caused greater vesicle shape deformation across the tested pH conditions, which affected vesicle surface packing as well. Notably, there were also pH-specific differences, i.e., a higher degree of vesicle shape deformation was triggered at a lower multivalent binding energy in pH 4.5 than in pH 6 and 7.5 conditions. These findings support that the nanomechanical properties of high-curvature lipid membranes, especially the membrane bending energy and the corresponding responsiveness to multivalent binding interactions, are sensitive to solution pH, and indicate that multivalency-induced vesicle shape deformation occurs slightly more readily in acidic pH conditions relevant to biological environments.

Numerical investigation on effects of fuel rod with different shapes of bow deformation on the subcooled boiling of coolant in a fuel assembly

AbstractThe Eulerian two‐phase boiling model of the subcooled boiling of coolant in a 3 × 3 fuel assembly is established and compared with the experimental data to verify its accuracy. The effects of four shapes of bow deformation on subcooled boiling flow and heat transfer characteristics are obtained by comparing and analyzing the distributions of thermal–hydraulic parameters, including the axial wall superheat, liquid phase temperature, axial void fraction, various heat fluxes, heat transfer coefficient, and turbulent kinetic energy. All shapes of bow deformation will lead to the redistribution of coolant among different subchannels, and the distributions of thermal–hydraulic parameters would be greatly affected. The bow deformation of fuel rod easily causes local boiling, which results in local high temperature of liquid phase and bubble accumulation, and a decrease in the area of high liquid phase heat transfer coefficient on the surface of bowing fuel rod. Additionally, the non‐uniform distribution of turbulent kinetic energy caused by bow deformation in different axial sections not only affects the heat transfer performance of coolant, but also causes the increment in pressure drop, which has negative effects on the safe operation of the nuclear reactor. This paper can provide data and theoretical support for engineering design.

Emulsifier crystal formation and its role in periodic deformation-relaxation of emulsion droplets upon cooling

When emulsion droplets stabilized by monoglyceride stearate are cooled down to a temperature below the crystallization temperature of the emulsifier, they deform, followed by relaxation back to a spherical shape. This deformation-relaxation process repeats itself multiple times. We monitored the crystallization of monoglyceride stearate at oil-water interfaces with (multiphoton excitation) microscopy and tensiometry, and evaluated the effects of emulsifier type, emulsifier concentration, and cooling rate on this phenomenon. The results prove that the phenomenon is attributable to the formation of brittle crystalline interfacial layers by the emulsifier, and stress build-up in these layers due to shrinkage of the oil phase upon cooling. Because of the high stiffness of the interfacial crystal layers, shrinkage of the oil phase leads to wrinkling of the interface, resulting in shape deformations. This continues until the interfacial structure ruptures.
