Vasoactive drugs are known to affect impedance (pressure/flow) and vessel wall motion in arteries. The nonlinear theory of oscillatory flow in straight elastic vessels indicates that wall shear rate is affected by changes in impedance phase angle and wall motion. To test whether wall shear rate depends on impedance phase angle and wall motion in vivo, wall shear rate was measured in the abdomin...

This paper presents new mappings of 2D and 3D geometrical transformation on the MorphoSys (M1) reconfigurable computing (RC) prototype [2]. This improves the system performance as a graphics accelerator [1-5]. Three algorithms are mapped including two for calculating 2D transformations, and one for 3D transformations. The results presented indicate an improved performance. The speedup achieved ...

OBJECTIVE Low wall shear stress has been implicated in atherogenesis throughout the arterial tree, including the right coronary artery (RCA). The objective of this study was to determine the level of covariation of intimal thickness and wall shear stress in the human RCA. METHODS AND RESULTS Postmortem histological measurements of intimal thickness were compared with wall shear stresses calcu...

Studies in adults have shown marked changes in geometry and relative positions of the carotid arteries when rotating the head. The aim of this study was to quantify the change in geometry and analyze its effect on carotid hemodynamics as a result of head rotation. The right carotid arteries of nine young adult subjects were investigated in supine position with straight and left turned head posi...

Abstract Lateral forces (wind, seismic) generated in RC buildings are major design criteria against structural collapse. Shear walls offer effective ways to provide resistance such lateral loads. The present study investigates the drift and defection control of symmetrical by providing core corner shear walls. Different limiting were determined four seismic zones (Zone-1 Zone-4) Bangladesh, bas...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a valuable tool for personalised, non-invasive evaluation of hemodynamics in arteries, but its complexity and time-consuming nature prohibit large-scale use practice. Recently, the deep learning rapid estimation CFD parameters like wall shear stress (WSS) on surface meshes has been investigated. However, existing approaches typically depend hand-crafted re-...

The predilection of atherosclerotic lesions for specific sites in the arterial tree is believed to be related t o the wall shear stress, exerted by the blood flow. Measurement of the magnitude of the wall shear stress is difficult and is frequently determined by an extrapolation of the velocity field t o find the wall shear rate and an estimation of the viscosity of the fluid in the neighborhoo...

The localization of atherosclerotic lesions is influenced by hemodynamic factors, namely, shear stress and tensive forces. The present study investigated the relationships between shear stress and circumferential wall tension and between these hemodynamic factors and the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery in healthy men. Fifty-eight subjects were studied. Shear stress was...

Shear wall is one of the most commonly used lateral load resisting in high rise building. Shear wall has high in plane stiffness and strength which can be used to simultaneously resist large horizontal load and support gravity load. The objective of the present study is to study the behavior of building frame in the lateral load analysis of shear wall-frame structures; a fundamental goal is to ...
