Article Abstract
We present a microscopic derivation of the laws of continuum mechanics of nonideal ordered solids including dissipation, defect diffusion, and heat transport. The starting point is the classical many-body Hamiltonian. The approach relies on the Zwanzig-Mori projection operator formalism to connect microscopic fluctuations to thermodynamic derivatives and transport coefficients. Conservation laws and spontaneous symmetry breaking, implemented via Bogoliubov's inequality, determine the selection of the slow variables. Density fluctuations in reciprocal space encode the displacement field and the defect concentration. Isothermal and adiabatic elastic constants are obtained from equilibrium correlations, while transport coefficients are given as Green-Kubo formulas, providing the basis for their measurement in atomistic simulations or colloidal experiments. The approach to the linearized continuum mechanics and results are compared to others from the literature.

Endovascular surgeries generally rely on push-based catheters and guidewires, which require significant training to master and can still result in high stress being exerted on the anatomy, especially in tortuous paths. Because these procedures are so technically challenging to perform, many patients have limited access to high-quality treatment. Although various robotic systems have been developed to enhance navigation capabilities, they can also apply high stresses due to sliding against the vascular walls, impeding movement and raising the risk of vascular damage.

This paper introduces a groundbreaking monitoring model tailored for sustainable trade activity surveillance, which synergistically integrates event-driven architecture with an intelligent decision tree. Confronting the constraints of conventional trade monitoring approaches that falter in adapting to the intricate and ever-changing market landscape, our model innovatively establishes an efficient, adaptable, and sustainable monitoring framework. By embedding an intelligent decision tree, it enables dynamic resource allocation, thereby optimizing operational efficacy.

Pediatric intussusception is frequently observed in the ileocecal region, where the terminal ileum invaginates into the colon. Previous studies have indicated an association between pediatric intussusception and inflammation as well as intestinal motility. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, particularly with regard to the mechanics.

Dynamic compartmentalization by lipid membranes is a hallmark of living cells. The shapes of membrane surfaces are tightly coupled to their various functions, resulting in the myriad of complex membranal geometries. It has long been established by both theory and experiment that cells actively sculpt the shapes of membranes by utilizing curvature-stabilizing proteins that modulate the effective elastic properties of the membrane.
