Abstract: A model for the static pressure-volume behavior of the lung parenchyma based on a pseudo-elastic strain energy function was tested. Values of the model parameters and their variances were ...

Abstract: A thermal method has been developed to quantify continuous perfusion changes with self-calibration. A dynamic, one-dimensional bio-heat transfer model of the thermal probe and tissue describes the ...

Abstract: Design criteria for implantable, heat-generating devices such as the total artificial heart require the determination of safe thresholds for chronic heating. This involves in-vivo experiments in ...

Abstract: Heat and water transport processes in the respiratory tract depend on environmental conditions, breathing patterns, and the physiological state of the respiratory system. To study these processes, ...
