Algebraic explicit wall models covering the entire inner region of turbulent boundary layer are proposed to reduce computational effort for large eddy simulation wall-bounded flows. The formulas given in closed forms with either logarithmic- or power-function-based laws wall, allowing straightforward evaluation friction velocity on near grids independent their locations layer. performance is de...

The noticeable characteristics of the blood vascular structure are the inconsistent viscosity of blood and the stiffness of the vascular wall. If we can control these two factors, we can solve more problems related to hemodynamics and vascular wall function. Understanding the properties of hemodynamics and vascular wall function may provide more information applicable to clinical practice for c...

background: echocardiographic evaluations of the longitudinal axis of the left ventricular (lv) function have been used in the diagnosis and assessment of heart failure with normal ejection fraction (hfnef). the evaluation of the global and segmental peak systolic longitudinal strains (pslss) by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (ste) may correlate with conventional echocardiogr...

patients and methods forty five young female volunteer athletes were included and received different training regimens (endurance-training, strength training and concurrent groups) for a 10 week period as study intervention. standard color doppler echocardiography was performed for assessment of the left ventricular activity. results as a result, 45 athletes ended the study training regimens. m...

original article     the aim of this study was to design and build a software for noise propagation prediction (indoor and from indoor to outdoor spaces) which is being commonly used in industry.  in this regard, firstly a mathematical complex model was created based on existing relationships about noise propagation in indoor spaces and transmission through the walls and propagation in outdoor ...

Left ventricular dimensions, wall thickness, wall stress, and indexes of afterload, preload, contractility, and early diastolic function, as well as regional wall motion, were determined by echocardiographic methods in patients with transposition of the great vessels after arterial switch operation and in age-matched normal controls. In patients evaluated early after surgery, body surface area-...

AIMS Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) is a suboptimal measure of ventricular function. Recent mathematical modelling of left ventricular contraction has shown that the EF is determined by both myocardial shortening (strain) and by end-diastolic wall thickness. Increasing end-diastolic wall thickness resulted in augmented radial wall thickening. This may result in a significant 'overestim...

A concrete block retaining wall is supported by its weight. This structure has some advantages, including lower construction costs, a water-permeable that produces less water pressure behind the wall, and more flexible because it can follow ground's contours. Rankine's theory usually used to design this wall. According theory, failure pattern forms an angle of 450 + • /2 with horizontal plane. ...
