  • Comparison of Two Gas Injection Methods for Generating Bubbles in a T-Junction 

    Arias Calderón, Santiago (2020-05-28)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this work, we compare the performance of two different methods for generating bubbles in conditions relevant to microgravity. A T-junction formed by two cylindrical (1 mm of internal diameter) and perpendicular channels ...

  • Numerical and Experimental Study of the Squeezing-to-Dripping Transition in a T-Junction 

    Arias Calderón, Santiago; Villardi de Montlaur, Adeline de (2020-05-26)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this work, we study the transition from squeezing to dripping during the formation of bubbles in a capillary T-junction in conditions relevant to microgravity. The junction is formed by two perpendicular cylinders of ...

  • Modelling the dynamics of tuberculosis lesions in a virtual lung: role of the bronchial tree in endogenous reinfection

    Article
    Open Access
    Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that still causes more than 1.5 million deaths annually. The World Health Organization estimates that around 30% of the world’s population is latently infected. However, the ...

  • Empiric model for short-time prediction of COVID-19 spreading 

    Català Sabaté, Martí; Alonso Muñoz, Sergio; Álvarez Lacalle, Enrique; López Codina, Daniel; Cardona Iglesias, Pere Joan; Prats Soler, Clara (2020-05-19)
    Article
    Open Access
    Covid-19 appearance and fast spreading took by surprise the international community. Collaboration between researchers, public health workers and politicians has been established to deal with the epidemic. One important ...

  • How cortical waves drive fission of motile cells 

    Flemming, Sven; Font Martínez, Francesc; Alonso Muñoz, Sergio; Beta, Carsten (2020-03-24)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Cytokinesis—the division of a cell into two daughter cells—is a key step in cell growth and proliferation. It typically occurs in synchrony with the cell cycle to ensure that a complete copy of the genetic information is ...

  • Influence of the tubular network on the characteristics of calcium transients in cardiac myocytes 

    Marchena Angos, Miquel; Echebarría Domínguez, Blas (Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2020-04-17)
    Article
    Open Access
    Transverse and axial tubules (TATS) are an essential ingredient of the excitation-contraction machinery that allow the effective coupling of L-type Calcium Channels (LCC) and ryanodine receptors (RyR2). They form a regular ...

  • Robust estimation of diagnostic rate and real incidence of COVID-19 for European policymakers 

    Català Sabaté, Martí; Pino González, David; Marchena Angos, Miquel; Palacios, Pablo; Urdiales, Tomás; Cardona Iglesias, Pere Joan; Alonso Muñoz, Sergio; López Codina, Daniel; Prats Soler, Clara; Álvarez Lacalle, Enrique (Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2020-04-24)
    Article
    Open Access
    Policymakers need a clear and fast assessment of the real spread of the epidemic of COVID-19 in each of their respective countries. Standard measures of the situation provided by the governments include reported positive ...

  • Gap junction dynamics induces localized conductance bistability in cardiac tissue 

    Hawks, Claudia; Elorza Barbajero, Jorge; Witt, Annette; Laroze, David; Rodríguez Cantalapiedra, Inma; Peñaranda Ayllón, Angelina; Echebarría Domínguez, Blas; Bragard, Jean (2019-07-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Connexins are specialized ionic channels that control the action potential propagation between cardiac myocytes. In this paper, we study the connexin dynamics in a one-dimensional model of cardiac tissue. We show that the ...

  • In-situ approach for thermal energy storage and thermoelectricity generation on the Moon: modelling and simulation 

    Fleith, Patrick; Cowley, Aidan; Canals Pou, Alberto; Valle Lozano, Aaron; Frank, Rebecca; López Córdoba, Pablo; González Cinca, Ricardo (2020-01)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Human, tele-operated rovers, and surface infrastructures are now being actively considered for lunar polarexploration. Current approaches to energy provision consider, among others, hybrid direct energy/chemicaltechnologies, ...

  • Development of a methodology to analyze leaves from Prunus dulcis varieties using near infrared spectroscopy 

    Borraz Martínez, Sergio; Boqué, Ricard; Simó Cruanyes, Joan; Mestre, Mariàngela; Gras Moreu, Anna Maria (2019-11-01)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be a faster and more economical alternative to traditional methods for screening varietal mixtures of nursery plants during the propagation process to ensure varietal purity and ...

  • Modeling domain formation of MARCKS and protein kinase C at cellular membranes 

    Alonso Muñoz, Sergio; Baer, Markus (EDP Sciences, 2014-01-30)
    Article
    Open Access
    Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins are mechanisms of activation and deactivation which regulate many cellular processes. Both mechanisms have been usually described in well mixed environments. MARCKS is a ...

  • Surfactant-induced gradients in the three-dimensional Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction
