Mathematical model of the rubber-cord shell of rotation for pneumatic dampers by V. S. Korneyev, V. V. Shalay

“…Equilibrium equations are compiled in the form that excludes the emergence of a singularity at special points and does not require special techniques and tools for integration. To construct the constitutive relations reflecting the structural heterogeneity of the material and described by smooth functions of spatial coordinates, the principle of virtual displacements is used. …”

Metalloprotease Dependent Release of Placenta Derived Fractalkine by Monika Siwetz, Astrid Blaschitz, Julia Kremshofer, Jelena Bilic, Gernot Desoye, Berthold Huppertz, Martin Gauster

“…These results demonstrate that human placenta is a source for fractalkine, which is expressed in the syncytiotrophoblast and can be released into the maternal circulation by constitutive metalloprotease dependent shedding. Increased expression and release of placental fractalkine may contribute to low grade systemic inflammatory responses in third trimester of normal pregnancy. …”
