A continuous model for the peristaltic locomotion of compressible and incompressible rod-like bodies is presented. Using Green and Naghdi's theory of a directed rod, incompressibility is enforced as an internal constraint. A discussion on muscle actu...
Biohybrid actuators have the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional actuators employed in robotics, thanks to the unique features of living contractile muscle cells, which can be used to power artificial elements. This paper describes a...

In this study, potato starch (PS) was processed by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at 200, 350 and 500 MPa for 30 min at 25 °C. Effects of HHP-treated PS on the processing performance of PS-gluten and PS-hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) dough-like...
Fractionation of β-lactoglubulin (β-lg) and α-lactalbumin (α-la) using conventional separation technologies remains challenging mainly due to similar molecular weight. Herein, casein (CN) was used as ligand protein to specifically aggregate β-lg unde...
