I show that this phenomenon is not a coordinate artifact, but rather a covariant property of energy-momentum flow, arising when phase propagation and energy transport... |

In this talk, I will discuss our approaches to integrating cross-sectional imaging data from the UK Biobank and constitutive modeling to study the mechanobiological behavior of the human... |
