TL;DR: Comparison of results for the six different shear modes suggests that simple shear deformation is resisted by elastic elements aligned with the microstructural axes of the tissue.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate current QRS detection algorithms based on three assessment criteria: robustness to noise, parameter choice, and numerical eciency, in order to target a universal fast-robust detector.

TL;DR: This work investigates current QRS detection algorithms based on three assessment criteria: 1) robustness to noise, 2) parameter choice, and 3) numerical efficiency, in order to target a universal fast-robust detector.

TL;DR: Simulation and comparison of the effects of several tDCS montages used in clinical trials or proposed, for the treatment of depression, in different high-resolution anatomically-accurate head models suggest that electrode position and size may be adjusted slightly to accommodate other priorities, such as skin discomfort and damage.

TL;DR: Simulations of spontaneous activity suggest that the dominant mechanism underlying pacemaker depolarisation is the inward background Na+ current, ib,Na, while a closer inspection of the current-voltage characteristics of the model revealed that the "instantaneous" time-independent current was inward for holding potentials in the pacemaker range, which rapidly became outward within 2 ms.
