Abstract: The Arrhenius equation and, similarly, transition state theory (TST) describe well the temperature dependence of the rate of irreversible heating-damage to many biological materials (1234). These ...

Abstract: Some recent analyses modeled the response of collagenous tissues, such as epicardium, using a hypothetical network consisting of interconnected springlike fibers. The fibers in the network were ...

Abstract: The extent of the change in thermal diffusivity of soft tissues due to heat-induced damage is not well known. Reported here are the results of using the flash method to measure the ...
