Modeling of Transient Transport of Soluble Proteins in the Connecting Cilium of a Photoreceptor Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A minimal mathematical model describing mass transport in the connecting cilium (CC) of a photoreceptor cell in response to a suddenly increased protein concentration at the base of the CC is ...
Modeling Bidirectional Transport of New and Used Organelles in Fast Axonal Transport in Neurons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper develops a model for simulating transport of newly synthesized material from the neuron body toward the synapse of the axon as well as transport of misfolded and aggregated proteins ...
The Effect of Local Thermal Nonequilibrium on the Onset of Convection in a Nanofluid
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The onset of convection in a horizontal layer of a nanofluid is studied analytically. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis, and allows ...
Numerical Modeling of In Vivo Plate Electroporation Thermal Dose Assessment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electroporation is an approach used to enhance the transport of large molecules to the cell cytosol in which a targeted tissue region is exposed to a series of electric pulses. The cell ...
Local Temperature Rises Influence In Vivo Electroporation Pore Development: A Numerical Stratum Corneum Lipid Phase Transition Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electroporation is an approach used to enhance transdermal transport of large molecules in which the skin is exposed to a series of electric pulses. Electroporation temporarily destabilizes the ...
Numerical Assessment of Thermal Response Associated With In Vivo Skin Electroporation: The Importance of the Composite Skin model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electroporation is an approach used to enhance transdermal transport of large molecules in which the skin is exposed to a series of electric pulses. The structure of the transport inhibiting ...
Forced Convection With Laminar Pulsating Counterflow in a Saturated Porous Channel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical solution is obtained for forced convection in a parallel-plate channel occupied by a layered saturated porous medium with counterflow produced by pulsating pressure gradients. The ...
The Onset of Convection in a Porous Medium Occupying an Enclosure of Variable Width or Height
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical study is made of the onset of convection in a saturated porous medium occupying a two-dimensional enclosure of uniform height, but whose width is slowly varying in an arbitrary ...
The Onset of Convection in a Layer of Cellular Porous Material: Effect of Temperature-Dependent Conductivity Arising From Radiative Transfer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The onset of convection in a horizontal layer of a cellular porous material heated from below is investigated. The problem is formulated as a combined conductive-convective-radiative problem in ...
The Effect of a Transition Layer Between a Fluid and a Porous Medium: Forced Convection in a Channel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flow in a three-layer channel is modeled analytically. The channel consists of a transition layer sandwiched between a porous medium and a fluid clear of solid material. Within the transition ...
