Combining pressure management and energy recovery benefits in a water distribution system installing PATs
(2017)Gravity can play a beneficial role in certain water distribution networks (WDNs), although sometimes high nodal pressures occur. Excessive pressure may lead to several negative effects regarding the network's operation and ... -
Comparison of physiological and post-endovascular aneurysm repair infrarenal blood flow
(2017)Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms results in redirection of blood through the deployed endograft (EG). Even though EVAR is clinically effective, the absolute flow restoration is not warranted. ... -
A computational fluid dynamics modelling of maternal-fetal heat exchange and blood flow in the umbilical cord
(2020)Human fetal thermoregulation, maternal-fetal heat exchange, and the role of the umbilical cord in these processes are not well understood. Ethical and technical limitations have restricted current knowledge to animal ... -
Denting of internally pressurized tubes under lateral loads
(2006)The present work examines the structural response of tubular members subjected to lateral quasi-static loading, imposed by wedge-shaped denting devices, in the presence of internal pressure. First, tubes are modeled with ... -
Effect of macroscale formation of intraluminal thrombus on blood flow in abdominal aortic aneurysms
(2016)A mathematical approach of blood flow within an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with intraluminal thrombus (ILT) is presented. The macroscale formation of ILT is modeled as a growing porous medium with variable porosity ... -
Effects of a trampoline exercise intervention on motor performance and balance ability of children with intellectual disabilities
(2013)Balance and motor impairments are most evident among inactive individuals with ID that might be particularly susceptible to a loss of basic functioning and further limit the person's autonomy in activities of daily living. ... -
Finite Element Analysis of Externally-Induced Sloshing in Horizontal-Cylindrical and Axisymmetric Liquid Vessels
(2009)Motivated by the earthquake response of industrial pressure vessels, the present paper investigates externally-induced sloshing in horizontal-cylindrical and axisymmetric liquid containers. Assuming ideal and irrotational ... -
Haemodynamic performance of AFX and Nellix endografts: A computational fluid dynamics study
(2018)OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to analyse the flow conditions in the AFX and Nellix endografts (EGs) accounting for their postimplantation configuration in patients with an endovascular aneurysm repair-treated ... -
Modeling and Computational Comparison of the Displacement Forces Exerted between the AFX Unibody Aortic Stent Graft and its Hybrid Combination with a Nitinol-based Proximal Aortic Cuff
(2021)Background: The bifurcated AFX (Endologix, Inc, Irvine, CA, USA) aortic stent-graft is the sole unibody endograft for the management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA). In order to improve the AFX central sealing and ... -
Pressure effects on the static response of offshore tubular connections
(2004)The paper focuses on the influence of external hydrostatic pressure on the ultimate capacity of uniplanar X and T welded tubular connections under axial and bending loads. Nonlinear finite element tools, calibrated through ... -
Reaching economic leakage level through pressure management
(2016)High non-revenue water (NRW) values as a percentage of system input volume form a serious problem that many water utilities worldwide have to confront nowadays. There are ways to mitigate the effect by adopting strategies ... -
Systematic Review of the Performance of Noninvasive Tests in Diagnosing Bladder Outlet Obstruction in Men with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms [figure presented]
(2017)Context Several noninvasive tests have been developed for diagnosing bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in men to avoid the burden and morbidity associated with invasive urodynamics. The diagnostic accuracy of these tests, ... -
The use of Knoop indentation for the assessment of the plastic properties of mortars and natural stones
(2017)The present work investigates the Knoop hardness of rocks and other pressure sensitive materials. We tested ten different types of rocks, a cement paste, and PMMA. We also analyzed existing experimental results for Mg-PSZ ...
