Hematocrit dispersion in asymmetrically bifurcating vascular networks.
Quantitative modeling of physiological processes in vasculatures requires an accurate representation of network topology, including vessel branching. We propose a new approach for reconstruction of vascular network, which determines how vessel bifurcations distribute red blood cells (RBC) in the microcirculation. Our method follows the foundational premise of Murray's law in postulating the exi...
متن کاملFluid Streaming in Micro Bifurcating Networks
The major challenges of Lab-On-Chip technology include cost-effective pumping, function integration, multiple detection, and system miniaturization. In this paper, we propose a novel and simple micro streaming-based fluid propulsion technology that has the potentials to address some of the challenging topics. The phenomenon of flow streaming can be found in zero-mean velocity oscillating flows ...
متن کاملSynchronization in asymmetrically coupled networks with node balance.
We study global stability of synchronization in asymmetrically connected networks of limit-cycle or chaotic oscillators. We extend the connection graph stability method to directed graphs with node balance, the property that all nodes in the network have equal input and output weight sums. We obtain the same upper bound for synchronization in asymmetrically connected networks as in the network ...
متن کاملBifurcating Nodoids
All complete, axially symmetric surfaces of constant mean curvature in R lie in the one-parameter family Dτ of Delaunay surfaces. The elements of this family which are embedded are called unduloids; all other elements, which correspond to parameter value τ ∈ R, are immersed and are called nodoids. The unduloids are stable in the sense that the only global constant mean curvature deformations of...
متن کاملHematocrit distribution and tissue oxygenation in large microcirculatory networks.
OBJECTIVE Oxygen tension in the brain is controlled by the microcirculatory supply of RBC, but the effect of non-Newtonian blood flow rheology on tissue oxygenation is not well characterized. This study assesses different biphasic blood flow models for predicting tissue oxygen tension as a function of microcirculatory hemodynamics. METHODS Two existing plasma-skimming laws are compared agains...
