A Generalized Method for the Minimization of Cellular Osmotic Stresses and Strains During the Introduction and Removal of Permeable Cryoprotectants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The successful freeze preservation of mammalian cells and tissues usually requires the presence of high concentrations of cryoprotective agents (CPAs) such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, or ...
Bioheat Transfer in a Branching Countercurrent Network During Hyperthermia
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A bioheat transfer model which computes the spatial variations in the arteriole, venule, and muscle temperatures in a human extremity under both resting and hyperthermic conditions is presented. ...
Heat Transfer Normal to Paired Arterioles and Venules Embedded in Perfused Tissue During Hyperthermia
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical model of the heat transer normal to an arteriole-venule pair embedded in muscle tissue has been constructed. Anatomical data describing the blood vessel size, spacing, and density ...
The Concentration Polarization Effect in Frozen Erythrocytes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An ideal, hydrated, nondilute pseudo-binary solution model is presented to describe the concentration polarization of solutes within cells during osmotic experiments. This model has been applied ...
An Evaluation of the Weinbaum-Jiji Bioheat Equation for Normal and Hyperthermic Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The predictions of the simplified Weinbaum-Jiji (WJ) bioheat transfer equation in one dimension are compared to those of the complete one-dimensional three-equation model that represented the ...
