One of the most important limitations of hemodialysis (HD) treatment is the vascular access
(VA) that is used to connect the patient's blood vessels to the extracorporeal circulation. The …

Uncontrolled hypertension is a primary risk factor for diverse cardiovascular diseases and
thus remains responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. Hypertension leads to …

Selected solar-hybrid power plants for operation in base-load as well as midload were
analyzed regarding supply security (dispatchable power due to hybridization with fossil fuel) …

Adaptations of large arteries to sustained alterations in hemodynamics that cause changes
in both caliber and stiffness are increasingly recognized as important initiators or indicators …

Uncontrolled hypertension is a major risk factor for myriad cardiovascular diseases. Among
its many effects, hypertension increases central artery stiffness which in turn is both an …

Accurate modeling of arterial response to physiological or pathological loads may shed light
on the processes leading to initiation and progression of a number of vascular diseases and …

Agent-based models (ABMs) represent a novel approach to study and simulate complex
mechano chemo-biological responses at the cellular level. Such models have been used to …

In this paper, fault diagnosis of high speed rolling element bearings due to localized defects
using response surface method has been done. The localized defects as spalls on outer …

The healthy adult aorta exhibits a remarkable homeostatic ability to respond to sustained
changes in hemodynamic loads under many circumstances, but this mechanical …
