Reducing Computational Cost in Long-Term Simulations of Multiscale Cellular Mechanobiology

Abstract The long-term simulation of biological systems at the cellular level presents a significant computational challenge due to pronounced multiscale behavior and severe numerical stiffness. While implicit solvers offer improved stability in solving stiff systems, they can in...

Inscription of Quasi-Sinusoidal Surface Relief Optical Gratings in ZEONOR™ Cyclic Olefin Polymer by a 10.5 MeV N4+ Ion Microbeam at Low Implanted Fluences

Direct writing of microstructures in ZEONOR™ cyclic olefin polymer, using a high-energy medium-mass ion microbeam, was proposed and demonstrated. Microbeams of 10.5 MeV N4+ ions were used. The implanted fluences were between 2.5·1012 and 2.0·1013 ion/cm2. The microstructures were...

Human Pose Estimation in 2D and 3D: A Survey of Analytical Methods, Benchmarking Frameworks, and Engineering Applications

This survey presents a comprehensive review of Human Pose Estimation spanning 2D and 3D settings, unifying prior work through a taxonomy of body representations (2D keypoints, 3D skeletons, dense meshes), processing flows (top-down vs. bottom-up), problem formulations (regression...

Beyond heuristics: an experimental study on the impact of math self-efficacy and cognitive reflection on newsvendor decision-making performance

Behavioural newsvendor research has documented persistent deviations from optimal ordering – demand chasing, pull-to-center, and anchoring – yet the psychological foundations underlying these biases remain underspecified. We distinguish two constructs: cognitive reflection (CRT),...
