The swelling leads to expansion of fractures and increment of fracture permeability in coal sample.
When these particles are packed into a bicontinuous, percolated network, as is the case in a battery electrode, this swelling leads to the generation of significant mechanical stress.
The results of the study presented in this paper show that coupled analysis (considering swelling) leads to different suction (negative pore water pressure (PWP)) and FS profiles within the surficial layer from those resulting from uncoupled analysis at the same elapsed time.
Continued mitochondria swelling leads to membrane stretching and ultimately bursting of the plasma membrane.
Moreover, mitochondrial osmotic swelling leads to ruptures in outer mitochondrial membrane triggering irreversible cell death (Baines et al., 2005; Bernardi et al., 2006; Du and Yan, 2010).
As corticomotor excitability is partly determined by α-motoneuron excitability, our observations suggest that, despite inhibiting the quadriceps α-motoneuron pool, knee joint swelling leads to an increase in excitability elsewhere in the corticomotor pathway.
We still cannot clearly explain why diffusion decreases so much in brain acute ischemia, how cell swelling leads to decreased diffusion, or precisely why diffusion anisotropy occurs in white matter.
These changes regenerate the required ion gradient for more Ca2+ entry into mitochondria, which causes long-lasting opening of MPTP regulated by cyclophilin D, and mitochondrial swelling leads ultimately to cellular necrosis.
Because swelling leads to an increase in the percentage of water in the polymer, the refractive index of the polymer nanospheres decreased as the particles swelled.
This reduced swelling leads to improved membrane mechanical durability as measured by increased lifetimes in RH cycling tests with increasing PVDF content.
