The simulation of the physiological loading situation of arteries with moderate atherosclerotic plaque may provide additional indicators for medical doctors to estimate if the plaque is likely to rupture and if surgical intervention is required. In particu ...

The most important physiological mechanism mediating enhanced exercise performance is increased sympathetic, beta adrenergic receptor (beta-AR), and adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity. This is the first report of decreased AC activity mediating increased exerc ...
Orbitally shaken bioreactors are an emerging alternative to stirred-tank bioreactors for large-scale mammalian cell culture, but their fluid dynamics is still not well defined. Among the theoretical and practical issues that remain to be resolved, the char ...
In this project we numerically simulate electrophysiological models for cardiac applications by means of Isogeometric Analysis. Specifically, we aim at understanding the advantages of using high order continuous NURBS (Non-UniformRational B-Splines) basis ...
The shoulder complex is a complex articulation of the human body. It consists of several bones and joints and is moved and stabilized by 16 muscles. The muscle forces can not be measured experimentally, but can be computed using numerical methods. An exist ...
Human beings like all organisms, are subject to a variety of diseases. Musculoskeletal diseases such as arthritis, that affect our muscles and bones, are particularly debilitating in that they considerably limit our ability to interact with our environment ...
In this work we compare different families of nested quadrature points, i.e. the classic Clenshaw-Curtis and various kinds of Leja points, in the context of the quasi-optimal sparse grid approximation of random elliptic PDEs. Numerical evidence suggests th ...
In the wide literature devoted to the cardiac structural mechanics, the strain energy proposed by Holzapfel and Ogden exhibits a number of interesting features: it has suitable mathematical properties and it is based on few material parameters that can, in ...
In this Master thesis we aim at studying some physiological and computational aspects of the excitation-contraction mechanisms in the heart muscle. This phenomenon exhibits many complexities at different spatio-temporal scales. The relevance and applicabil ...
In this thesis we consider a fully coupled model which aims at reproducing some qualitative features of the electro-mechanical activity of the heart. The models used to describe both the electrical and mechanical activities are relatively simple. However, ...
