A COMPUTATIONAL STUDY OF RED BLOOD CELL DEFORMABILITY EFFECT ON HEMODYNAMIC ALTERATION IN CAPILLARY VESSEL NETWORKS

A computational study of red blood cell deformability effect on hemodynamic alteration in capillary vessel networks

Abstract Capillary blood vessels, the smallest vessels in the body, form an intricate network with constantly bifurcating, merging and winding vessels.Red blood cells (RBCs) must navigate through such complex microvascular networks in order to maintain tissue perfusion and oxygenation.Normal, healthy RBCs are extremely deformable and able to easily

Influence of moisture content on pressure ratio of rape seeds

The pressure ratio of rape seeds was determined for four levels of moisture content in a model silo.The silo was 0.6 m in diameter and 0.6 m Float high.Ratio of horizontal to vertical pressure and distributions of local horizontal to vertical pressure along the radius of the floor in the model silo were determined for cycles of loading and unloadin

Adaptive Genetic Management of a Reintroduction Program from Captive Breeding to Metapopulation Management of an Arboreal Marsupial

The application of genetic data to conservation management programs can be hindered by the mismatch in timelines for management decisions and the Dough Scrapers acquisition of genetic data, particularly genomic sequence data that may require outsourcing.While applying genetic principles where data are absent can provide general guidelines for actio
