FORCE TRANSMISSION IN DISORDERED FIBRE NETWORKS

Force Transmission in Disordered Fibre Networks

Cells residing in living tissues apply forces to their immediate surroundings to promote the restructuration of the extracellular matrix fibres and to transmit mechanical signals to other cells.Here we use a minimalist model to study how these forces, applied locally by cell contraction, propagate through the fibrous network in the extracellular In

Electronic noses based on metal oxide nanowires: A review

Metal oxides are ideal for the fabrication of gas Knife Rack sensors: they are sensitive to many gases while allowing the device to be simple, tiny, and inexpensive.Nonetheless, their lack of selectivity remains a limitation.In order to achieve good selectivity in applications with many possible interfering gases, the sensors are inserted into an e
