Sensitivity of coronary hemodynamics to vascular structure variations in health and disease by Arnav Garcha, Noelia Grande Gutiérrez

“…We measured the sensitivity of hemodynamic metrics to changes in bifurcation angles, positions, diameter ratios, tortuosity, and plaque topology. Our results suggest that the diameter ratio between left coronary branches plays a substantial role in generating adverse hemodynamic phenotypes and can amplify the effect of other geometric features such as bifurcation position and angle, and vessel tortuosity. …”

Surface Design and Strength Analysis of Porous Linear Diaphragm by Kangkang Ding, Yinxin Yu, Yingxian Zhang

“…The finite element method is used to analyze its axial stiffness， stress and durability under torque， axial deviation， angular misalignment deviation， rotating speed and composite working conditions， and compared it with the single-curvature diaphragm with the same diameter. The research shows that the axial stiffness of the porous linear diaphragm is smaller than that of the single-curvature diaphragm with the same diameter， which also shows nonlinear variation and is proportional to the thickness of the diaphragm. …”

Development of an Impact Energy Absorption Structure by an Arc Shape Stroke Origami Type Hydraulic Damper by Jingchao Guan, Yuan Yao, Wei Zhao, Ichiro Hagiwara, Xilu Zhao

“…An impact verification experiment confirmed that the damping effect of the origami hydraulic damper increases with the input energy of the impact. By varying the diameter of the orifice hole, which is an important design factor for an origami hydraulic damper, the damping effect of the origami hydraulic damper was found to increase as the diameter of the orifice hole decreased. …”

Reevaluating Links Between Meteorite Impacts and Early Cenozoic Global Warming by A. Zorzi, S. M. Tikoo, G. C. Beroza, N. H. Sleep

“…Our results suggest that the <2 km diameter impactors associated with the Marquez Dome and Boltysh craters were too small to have induced hyperthermal‐like (>1 K) temperature changes, even if target rocks were carbon‐rich; >10 km diameter impactors may produce hyperthermal events, but such large impacts are predicted to be uncommon during the Cenozoic era (2–4 objects per Gyr).…”
