Tensor-Train-Based Elastic Wavefield Decomposition in VTI Media
Elastic wavefield decomposition into quasi-compressional (qP) and quasi-shear-vertical (qSV) modes is essential for elastic imaging and inversion in VTI media, but becomes computationally expensive when polarization vectors vary strongly in space. I propose a tensor-train (TT) representation of…

Bioactive Hydroxyapatite–Collagen Composite Dressings for Wound Regeneration: Advances in Fabrication, Functionalization and Antimicrobial Strategies
Chronic and complex wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, burns and post-surgical defects, remain difficult to manage due to persistent inflammation, impaired angiogenesis, microbial colonization and insufficient extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Conventional dressings…

Designing Poly(vinyl formal) Membranes for Controlled Diclofenac Delivery: Integrating Classical Kinetics with GRNN Modeling
Controlled-release systems must translate material design choices into predictable pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles, yet purely mechanistic or purely data-driven models often underperform when tuning complex polymer networks. Here, we develop tunable poly(vinyl formal) membranes (PVFMs) for diclofenac…

Field-Controlled Magnetisation Patterns in Three-Arm Star-Shaped Nanoparticles as Prototypes of Reconfigurable Routing and Vortex State Memory Devices
A model of nanoparticles has been designed to partially resemble self-similar ferroelastic star-like domain textures. Numerical computations have been used to find the equilibrium configurations of magnetisation in such systems. As expected from the symmetry, the self-similar initial states give…
