The Flatworm Macrostomum lignano Is a Powerful Model Organism for Ion Channel and Stem Cell Research by Daniil Simanov, Imre Mellaart-Straver, Irina Sormacheva, Eugene Berezikov

“…Some ion channels are directly implemented in chemical signaling pathways, the others are involved in regulation of cytoplasmic or vesicular ion concentrations, pH, cell volume, and membrane potentials. Together with ion transporters and gap junction complexes, ion channels form steady-state voltage gradients across the cell membranes in nonexcitable cells. …”

Transverse Strains in Muscle Fascicles during Voluntary Contraction: A 2D Frequency Decomposition of B-Mode Ultrasound Images by James M. Wakeling, Avleen Randhawa

“…When skeletal muscle fibres shorten, they must increase in their transverse dimensions in order to maintain a constant volume. In pennate muscle, this transverse expansion results in the fibres rotating to greater pennation angle, with a consequent reduction in their contractile velocity in a process known as gearing. …”

Design and Performance Evaluation of a Very Low Flow Coefficient Centrifugal Compressor by Yongsheng Wang, Feng Lin, Chaoqun Nie, Abraham Engeda

“…Very low flow coefficient centrifugal compressors are often applied as the last stages of multistage compressors. Due to the lower volume flow rate, the flow channels in the impeller and diffuser are so narrow that friction loss becomes the main factor, which leads to lower efficiency than that of other stages in the same compressors. …”
