L’autobiographie ou l’art de la vie dans A Small Boy and Others de Henry James by Thomas Constantinesco, Agnès Derail

“…In the end, however, far from coalescing into a consistent and meaningful whole, the multiplicity of impressions disorients the teleological effort underlying James’s autobiography and exposes the very otherness that is constitutive of selfhood. For James then, writing his life as “a small boy” means ultimately telling the story of his being haunted by the “others” that his title hints at and whose inescapable presence around and within him contributes to making and unmaking his sense of self.…”

Sensitivity of hemodynamics in a patient specific cerebral aneurysm to vascular geometry and blood rheology by Alberto M. Gambaruto, João Janela, Alexandra Moura, Adélia Sequeira

“…   Taking as example a patient specific intracranial aneurysm located on an outer bend under steady state simulations, it is found that the sensitivity togeometry variability is greater, but comparable, to the one of the rheological model.These sensitivities are not quantifiable a priori.The flow field exhibits a wide range of shear stresses and slow recirculation regions that emphasize the need for careful choice of constitutive models for the blood. On the other hand, the complex geometrical shape of the vessels is found to be sensitive to small scale perturbations within medical imaging resolution.…”

Bone Regeneration: Mini-Review and Appealing Perspectives by Sylvain Le Grill, Fabien Brouillet, Christophe Drouet

“…Several generations of bone repair biomaterials have been proposed, either based on metals, ceramics, glasses, or polymers, depending on the clinical need, the maturity of technologies, and knowledge of the natural constitution of the bone tissue to be repaired. The global trend in bone implant research is shifting toward osteointegrative, bioactive and possibly stimuli-responsive biomaterials and, where possible, resorbable implants that actively promote the regeneration of natural bone tissue. …”
