The effects of fluid-structure interactions (FSI) and pulsation on the transport of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) through an arterial wall are analyzed in this work. To this end, a comprehensive multi-layer model for both LDL transport as well as fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is introduced. The constructed model is analyzed and compared with the existing results in the limiting cases. Excel...

For hadronic two-body decays of charmed mesons involving η or η′, resonance-induced finalstate interactions (FSI) that mimic the W -exchange or the W -annihilation topology can play an essential role. In particular, the decays D0 → Kη′ and D+ → π+η, which are largely suppressed in the absence of FSI, are enhanced dramatically by resonant FSI. It is stressed that the effect of resonant FSI is ne...

The fluid/structure interaction (FSI) investigations of stacked chip in encapsulation process of moulded underfill packaging using the two-way Coupling method with ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Structural solvers are presented. The FSI study is executed with different aspect ratio of stacked chip on the mould filling during the encapsulation process. The simulation results in the FSI study is well val...

Parallel overlapping Schwarz preconditioners are considered and applied to the structural block in monolithic fluid-structure interaction (FSI). The two-level overlapping Schwarz method uses a coarse level based on energy minimizing functions. Linear elastic as well as nonlinear, anisotropic hyperelastic structural models are considered in an FSI problem of a pressure wave in a tube. Using our ...

this paper presents a new index of financial stress which is constructed by macro data from different financial markets (including banking sector and also housing, foreign exchange and stock markets). the proposed approach has been applied to the iranian economy based on the available quarterly time series, covering the period 1991(1)–2008(2). the paper explains how the selected components capt...

Psychophysical and fMRI studies have indicated that visual processing of global symmetry has distinctive scaling properties, and proceeds more slowly than analysis of contrast, spatial frequency, and texture. We therefore undertook a visual evoked potential (VEP) study to directly compare the dynamics of symmetry and texture processing, and to determine the extent to which they interact. Stimul...
