Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with The Triangle by Arild Andersen w/Vassilis Tsabropoulos and John Marshall released on ECM in 2003.
Tyran Grillo wrote for ECM Reviews:
"Classical pianist and late jazz bloomer Vassilis Tsabropoulos turned heads with his ECM debut, Achirana, for which he redefined the piano trio under the leadership of bassist Arild Andersen and guidance of drummer John Marshall, both improvisers of proven stamina and invention. Whereas Tsabropoulos’s playing felt at times muddied and inattentive to negative space on that nevertheless enchanting record, this sophomore effort ushers us into a new and vibrant chapter with “Straight.” Immediately one can tell in this Tsabropoulos original that its composer has already tapped into the qualities of a fine improviser, treating his hands more like feet engaged in dance, leaping and bounding their way through turns of phrase..."

📰 "Rheological transition driven by matrix makes cancer spheroids resilient under confinement"

Life Science Alliance · Rheological transition driven by matrix makes cancer spheroids resilient under confinementCancer metastasis through confining peritoneal microenvironments is mediated by spheroids: clusters of disseminated cells. Ovarian cancer spheroids are frequently cavitated; such blastuloid morphologies possess an outer ECM coat. We investigated the effects of these spheroidal morphological traits on their mechanical integrity. Atomic force microscopy showed blastuloids were elastic compared with their prefiguring lumenless moruloid counterparts. Moruloids flowed through microfluidic setups mimicking peritoneal confinement, exhibited asymmetric cell flows during entry, were frequently disintegrated, and showed an incomplete and slow shape recovery upon exit. In contrast, blastuloids exhibited size-uncorrelated transit kinetics, rapid and efficient shape recovery upon exit, symmetric cell flows, and lesser disintegration. Blastuloid ECM debridement phenocopied moruloid traits including lumen loss and greater disintegration. Multiscale computer simulations predicted that higher intercellular adhesion and dynamical lumen make blastuloids resilient. Blastuloids showed higher E-cadherin expression, and their ECM removal decreased membrane E-cadherin localization. E-cadherin knockdown also decreased lumen formation and increased spheroid disintegration. Thus, the spheroidal ECM drives its transition from a labile viscoplastic to a resilient elastic phenotype, facilitating their survival within spatially constrained peritoneal flows. The raw data for all experiments and simulations will be made available upon reasonable request.

📰 "Empirical Hyper Element Integration Method (EHEIM) with Unified Integration Criteria for Efficient Hyper Reduced FE$^2$ Simulations"

arXiv logo
arXiv.orgEmpirical Hyper Element Integration Method (EHEIM) with Unified Integration Criteria for Efficient Hyper Reduced FE$^2$ SimulationsNumerical homogenization for mechanical multiscale modeling by means of the finite element method (FEM) is an elegant way of obtaining structure-property relations, if the behavior of the constituents of the lower scale is well understood. However, the computational costs of this so-called FE$^2$ method are so high that reduction methods are essential. While the construction of a reduced basis for the microscopic nodal displacements using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) has become a standard technique, the reduction of the computational effort for the projected nodal forces, the so-called hyper reduction, is an additional challenge, for which different strategies have been proposed in the literature. The empirical cubature method (ECM), which has been proven to be very robust, implemented the conservation of the total volume is used as a constraint in the resulting optimization problem, while energy-based criteria have been proposed in other contributions. The present contribution presents a unified integration criteria concept, involving the aforementioned criteria, among others. These criteria are used both with a Gauss point-based as well as with an element-based hyper reduction scheme, the latter retaining full compatibility with the common modular finite element framework. The methods are combined with a previously proposed clustered training strategy and a monolithic solver. Numerical examples empirically demonstrate that the additional criteria improve the accuracy for a given number of modes. Vice verse, less modes and thus lower computational costs are required to reach a given level of accuracy.

My next @preLights post is out. I saw this first preprint from the Storer lab a while back (thanks to a toot from @CellySally) and took some time over writing it but I think it was worth it!

I really enjoyed going back to some developmental biology with this study on how the ECM and mechanical environment influence limb regeneration. Also, nice that my PhD department, PDN, was heavily involved!

@JontyTownson covers the first #preprint from the Storer lab.

Jonathan: "I really appreciated the combination of many different techniques to build a compelling narrative about the role of different cell types regulating HA networks in regenerative wounds and the influence stiffness has on this process."

Welcomed sleep yesterday and then greeted Friday with Akroasis by Vassilis Tsabropoulos released in 2003 by ECM.

Tyran Grillo wrote on ECM Reviews:

"Akroasis confirms Vassilis Tsabropoulos as a pianist whose talent is as deep as the ocean but who is content exploring single drops of it. Of those drops we get eight in Akroasis, which follows his intriguing ECM debut as jazz artist with a collection of improvisations built around, and in response to, five Byzantine hymns. The latter are Orthodox staples, and in their re-imaginings here chart new plains with a feeling of eternity. The first three, and in particular “Axion Esti,” gently showcase Tsabropoulos’s knack for evocation. Shifting from emerald to topaz, they bring a lofty yet intimate architecture into being..."

I slipped into sleep yesterday and greeted today with Eréndira, the first album recorded by the British jazz quartet, First House. It was released by ECM. The album presents a studio performance of leader and saxophonist Ken Stubbs with Django Bates on piano, Mick Hutton on bass and Martin France on drums, recorded over 2 days in July, 1985 in Norway.

I first heard this LP having borrowed it from Cambridge Library on vinyl.

Tyran Grill wrote for ECM Reviews:

“A Day Away” starts as if awakening, those first rustlings of the morning flittering across France’s kit, Bates opening his eyes as butterfly’s wings to sunlight, while Hutton takes our first steps, breathing in the saxophone’s crisp air. Stubbs carries a gentle tune in “Innocent Eréndira,” lilting over bass and a gentle tat of cymbals. Like an airborne serpent falling to the ground with that final breath, he slithers into a dark hole..”

not weekend yet but already in the mood of weekend music:

keith jarrett, jan garbarek, palle danielsson, jon christensen - chant of the soil

one of my favourite disks: nude ants, and my favourite tune of this disk, full 17 minutes long. eons old now, from 1980 ...

Times when anguish suffocates, then music rescues us, perhaps that's the door to hope.

Tiempos en que la angustia asfixia, entonces la música nos rescata, tal vez sea esa la puerta a la esperanza.
