Vesicle Transport in Arterial Endothelium and the Influence of Mechanical Factors on Macromolecular Permeability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The time-dependent transport of labeled vesicles in arterial endothelium has been modeled, taking into account the space-varying electrodynamic and hydrodynamic forces and the steric hindrance of ...
Singular Perturbation Theory for Melting or Freezing in Finite Domains Initially Not at the Fusion Temperature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper treats the problem of the inward solidification at large Stefan number 1/ε, ε = CP (Ti − Tf )/L , of a finite slab which is initially at an arbitrary temperature Ti above the ...
The Matching of Thermal Fields Surrounding Countercurrent Microvessels and the Closure Approximation in the Weinbaum-Jiji Equation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A second order perturbation theory is developed to show the difference between the average artery-vein temperature Tm and the local average tissue temperature θ. This theory demonstrates that ...
Discussion of Papers by Wissler and Baish et al. Concerning the Weinbaum-Jiji Bioheat Equation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
A New Simplified Bioheat Equation for the Effect of Blood Flow on Local Average Tissue Temperature
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new simplified three-dimensional bioheat equation is derived to describe the effect of blood flow on blood-tissue heat transfer. In two recent theoretical and experimental studies [1, 2] the ...
A Three-Dimensional Variable Geometry Countercurrent Model for Whole Limb Heat Transfer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new formulation of the combined macro and microvascular model for heat transfer in a human arm developed in Song et al. [1] is proposed using a recently developed approximate theory for ...
Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Biomembranes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Estimates of the Peak Pressures in Bone Pore Water
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The maximum pore fluid pressures due to uniaxial compression are determined for both the vascular porosity (Haversian and Volkmann’s canals) and the lacunar–canalicular porosity of live cortical ...
A New View of Convective-Diffusive Transport Processes in the Arterial Intima
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper a new theoretical framework is presented for analyzing the filtration and macromolecular convective-diffusive transport processes in the intimal region of an artery wall with widely ...
A Steady-State Filtration Model for Transluminal Water Movement in Small and Large Blood Vessels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is now generally accepted that the intercellular cleft between adjacent endothelial cells is the primary pathway for the transluminal movement of water and small ions in the vasculature. A ...
