Background Atrial structural remodeling creates a substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the
underlying signal transduction mechanisms are unknown. This study assessed the effects of …

The fourth industrial revolution has transformed into a rapid development process centered
on renewable energy and technological innovation (TI), which provides feasible paths for …

The environmental emergency and energy crisis are serious challenges exposed to Europe,
which results in a fundamental shift in the linkages regarding fossil fuel, renewable energy …

We develop nonlinear quasi-steady electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR)
damper models using an idealized Bingham plastic shear flow mechanism. Dampers with …

… The main search was completed independently by two reviewers (Lihong Pang and Junzhen
Qin.). Discordance was settled by consultation of a third reviewer (Mujun Li).The inclusion …

Recently, dielectric capacitors have attracted much attention due to their high power density
based on fast charge–discharge capability. However, their energy storage applications are …

Bi2(Li0.5Ta1.5)O7 + xBi2O3 (x = 0, 0.01 and 0.02) ceramics were prepared using a solid
state reaction method. All compositions were crystallized in a single Bi2(Li0.5Ta1.5)O7 phase …

The hysteresis behavior of a linear stroke magnetorheological damper is characterized for
sinusoidal displacement excitation at 2.0 Hz (nominal). Four different modeling perspectives …

Despite the characterization of neuroprotection by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1),
the signaling pathway mediating its protective effect is unclear. Bad is a proapoptotic member …

Microelectronics and electrical power systems require dielectric polymer-based dielectrics
with high energy density that are simple to process. However, the currently available polymer-…
