Deformation localisation in stretched liquid crystal elastomers
We model within the framework of finite elasticity two inherent instabilities observed in liquid crystal elastomers under uniaxial loads. First is necking which occurs when a material sample suddenly elongates more in a small region where it appears narrower than the rest of the sample. Second is shear striping, which forms when the in-plane director rotates gradually to realign and become parallel with the applied force. These phenomena are due to the liquid crystal molecules rotating freely u…

Advances in Machine Learning, Statistical Methods, and AI for Single-Cell RNA Annotation Using Raw Count Matrices in scRNA-seq Data
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized our ability to analyze gene expression at the resolution of individual cells, providing unprecedented insights into cellular heterogeneity and complex biological systems. This paper reviews various advanced computational and machine learning techniques tailored for the analysis of scRNA-seq data, emphasizing their roles in different stages of the data processing pipeline.
