Numerical-asymptotic models for the manipulation of viscous films via dielectrophoresis (2020)
Journal Article
Chappell, D. J., & O'Dea, R. D. (2020). Numerical-asymptotic models for the manipulation of viscous films via dielectrophoresis. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 901, Article A35. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2020.545

The effect of an externally applied electric field on the motion of an interface between two viscous dielectric fluids is investigated. We first develop a powerful, efficient and widely applicable boundary integral method to compute the interface dyn...

Switching behaviour in vascular smooth muscle cell–matrix adhesion during oscillatory loading (2020)
Journal Article
Irons, L., Huang, H., Owen, M. R., O'Dea, R. D., Meininger, G. A., & Brook, B. S. (2020). Switching behaviour in vascular smooth muscle cell–matrix adhesion during oscillatory loading. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 502, Article 110387. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2020.110387

Integrins regulate mechanotransduction between smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and the extracellular matrix (ECM). SMCs resident in the walls of airways or blood vessels are continuously exposed to dynamic mechanical forces due to breathing or pulsatile b...

The role of node dynamics in shaping emergent functional connectivity patterns in the brain (2020)
Journal Article
Forrester, M., Crofts, J. J., Sotiropoulos, S., Coombes, S., & O’Dea, R. (2020). The role of node dynamics in shaping emergent functional connectivity patterns in the brain. Network Neuroscience, 4(2), 467-483. https://doi.org/10.1162/netn_a_00130

The contribution of structural connectivity to functional brain states remains poorly understood. We present a mathematical and computational study suited to assess the structure–function issue, treating a system of Jansen–Rit neural-mass nodes with...
