Freshwater Sponges Have Functional, Sealing Epithelia with High Transepithelial Resistance and Negative Transepithelial Potential
Download2010
Leys, S.P., Goss, G.G., Adams, E.D.M.
Epithelial tissue — the sealed and polarized layer of cells that regulates transport of ions and solutes between the environment and the internal milieu — is a defining characteristic of the Eumetazoa. Sponges, the most ancient metazoan phylum [1], [2], are generally believed to lack true...

Implementation and Verification of Simple Concrete Biaxial Models Under Monotonic, Cyclic, and Dynamic Loading
DownloadSpring 2019
An accurate prediction of the response and strength of concrete elements, which exhibit nonlinear behavior even under moderate loading, is essential for evaluating their safety and serviceability. To describe the nonlinear behavior of this material, continuum damage mechanics has been...
