A generic linear non-causal optimal control framework integrated with wave excitation force prediction for multi-mode wave energy converters with application to M4
(Elsevier, 2020-01-30)
The multi-float multi-mode wave energy converter (M-WEC) M4 has essentially linear hydrodynamics characteristics in operational and even extreme waves. This is in contrast to point-absorber and most raft-type devices where ...
GPER Activation Inhibits Cancer Cell Mechanotransduction and Basement Membrane Invasion via RhoA.
(2020-01-25)
The invasive properties of cancer cells are intimately linked to their mechanical phenotype, which can be regulated by intracellular biochemical signalling. Cell contractility, induced by mechanotransduction of a stiff ...
