Using Monte Carlo simulations for a semi-infinite medium representing a skeletal muscle tissue, it is demonstrated that the zero- and first-order moments of the power spectrum for a representative pixel of a full-field laser-Doppler imager behave different ...
It is well recognized that alterations on wall shear stress plays an important role on the development of atherosclerosis disease. It is known that oscillatory shear stress (OSS) flow pattern induces endothelial dysfunction via changes on nitric oxide (NO) ...
Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography FDOCT is a recent imaging technique based on the principle of Low Coherence Interferometry. In FDOCT cross-sectional images of diffusing objects are synthesised from a measure of backscattered light. The main adv ...
The main objective was to evaluate a Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) based particle tracking method as a means of quantitative assessment of retinal blood velocity and vessel diameter changes in response to hypoxia and hyperoxia. Retinal blood velociti ...
In this paper we consider the coupling between two diffusion-reaction problems, one taking place in a three-dimensional domain Ω, the other in a one-dimensional subdomain Λ. This coupled problem is the simplest model of fluid flow in a three-dimensional po ...
This paper assesses the reliability of the infinite cylinder model used previously in the literature to simulate blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal changes. A three-dimensional finite element method was applied to a realistic model of the cort ...
This paper describes a simple system for the actuation of a biological fluid through micro-channels with a thermoactivated polymer actuator. This system is of interest for the development of single-use diagnostic test-strips since the actuation of the samp ...
An optical visualization apparatus has been designed to measure the particle-velocity and solid-concentration profiles of highly concentrated coarse-particle suspensions in a wide-gap Couette rheometer. The main objective is to investigate the frictional-v ...
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a method of using MRI to image cerebral perfusion. For the measurement to be calibrated, a model is required describing the kinetics of the flow of the inverted blood from the labeling region to the imaging region. It is com ...
In this article we design new partitioned procedures for fluid-structure interaction problems, based on Robin-type transmission conditions. The choice of the coefficient in the Robin conditions is justified via simplified models. The strategy is effective ...
