Journal ArticleDOI
Stereology of dihedral angles II: distribution function
James A. Reeds,James P. Butler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived explicit formulas for the distribution function and density function of A in terms of easily computable elliptic integrals, and used these formulas to study the asymptotic behavior of the distribution and density near α = 0.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maturation of the human bronchial epithelial cell (HBEC) layer causes a jamming transition, but compression of the layer, as in bronchospasm, causes unjamming
Jin-Ah Park,Jennifer A. Mitchel,Nader Taheri Qazvini,Jae Hun Kim,Dapeng Bi,Chan Young Park,James P. Butler,Scott H. Randell,Stephanie A. Shore,M. Lisa Manning,Jeffrey M. Drazen,Jeffrey J. Fredberg +11 more
TL;DR: In HBE cells in air-liquid interface (ALI) culture, compressive stress, as in bronchospasm, induces airway remodeling in asthma patients, and this effect is dependent on the carrier and removal of foreign substance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing softness of the parietal pleural surface at the micron scale
TL;DR: The observed softness of the pleura supports the hypothesis that unevenness ofthe pleural surface on this scale is smoothed by local hydrodynamic pressure, and depth dependent inhomogeneous elastic properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fraction of trees with given root traits; the limit of large trees
TL;DR: For a single characteristic with two possible trait values, the fraction of trees that root in a particular trait is known for small values of n, the total number of taxa under consideration.
