The accuracy of several algorithms was determined and the best performing methods were implemented in a user-friendly open-source tool for performing DPIV flow analysis in Matlab.
Abstract
Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) is a non-intrusive analysis technique that is very popular for mapping flows quantitatively. To get accurate results, in particular in complex flow fields, a number of challenges have to be faced and solved: The quality of the flow measurements is affected by computational details such as image pre-conditioning, sub-pixel peak estimators, data validation procedures, interpolation algorithms and smoothing methods. The accuracy of several algorithms was determined and the best performing methods were implemented in a user-friendly open-source tool for performing DPIV flow analysis in Matlab.

Theory of cross-correlation analysis of PIV images : Image analysis as measuring technique in flows

R. D. Keane, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, cross-correlation methods of interrogation of successive single-exposure frames can be used to measure the separation of pairs of particle images between successive frames, which can be optimized in terms of spatial resolution, detection rate, accuracy and reliability.

A four-organ-chip for interconnected long-term co-culture of human intestine, liver, skin and kidney equivalents

TL;DR: This study is the first approach to establish a system for in vitro microfluidic ADME profiling and repeated dose systemic toxicity testing of drug candidates over 28 days in co-culture, and assures near to physiological fluid-to-tissue ratios.

Topological defects in epithelia govern cell death and extrusion.

TL;DR: A mechanism for apoptotic cell extrusion is proposed: spontaneously formed topological defects in epithelia govern cell fate, and the ability to control extrusion hotspots by geometrically inducing defects through microcontact printing of patterned monolayers is demonstrated.

Phototactic guidance of a tissue-engineered soft-robotic ray.

TL;DR: Inspired by the relatively simple morphological blueprint provided by batoid fish such as stingrays and skates, a biohybrid system that enables an artificial animal—a tissue-engineered ray—to swim and phototactically follow a light cue is created.

Force-Induced Changes in Subnuclear Movement and Rheology

TL;DR: Applied extracellular forces stimulate intranuclear movements, resulting in repositioning of nuclear bodies and the associated chromatin within the nucleus, suggesting that the nucleus is a mechanosensitive element within the cell.
