Quasi-linear viscoelastic properties of fibrotic neck tissues obtained from ultrasound indentation tests in vivo.
BACKGROUND Hand palpation is a conventional way to assess and document soft tissue fibrosis. But it is semi-quantitative and subjective, so there is a need to develop quantitative and objective methods for this purpose. METHODS 105 patients with different degrees of radiation-induced fibrosis of soft tissue of the neck were assessed using an ultrasound indentation method. The force response w...
متن کاملEnergy dissipation of a Brownian particle in a viscoelastic fluid.
We evaluate the energy dissipation rate of an optically driven Brownian particle in a polymer solution utilizing the generalized version of Harada and Sasa's equality [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 130602 (2005)] by Deutsch and Narayan [Phys. Rev. E 74, 026112 (2006)]. The irreversible work of a small system is estimated from readily obtainable quantities. By adopting the time-dependent memory function ...
متن کاملQUANTUM TUNNELING IN MEDIUMS WITH LINEAR AND NONLINEAR DISSIPATION
We have applied the method of integration of the Heisenberg equation of motion proposed by Bender and Dunne, and M. Kamella and M. Razavy to the potential V(q) = v q - µ q with linear and nonlinear dissipation. We concentrate our calculations on the evolution of basis set of Weyl Ordered Operators and calculate the mean position , velocity , the commutation relation [q, p], and the energ...
متن کاملMultilayer Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic Characterization of Porcine Aorta Using Nanoindentation
In a wide range of applications from traumatic injury to stent grafts, the arterial wall has been considered as a homogeneous single-layer vessel, ignoring the fact that arteries are composed of distinct anatomical layers with different mechanical characteristics. The multilayer nature of arteries has an important influence in the development of mathematical models to predict large deformations...
متن کاملEffect of extracellular matrix on testosterone production during in vitro culture of bovine testicular cells
Testosterone is believed to play a significant role in spermatogenesis, but its contribution to the process of spermatogenesis is not completely understood. Given that extracellular matrix (ECM) facilitates differentiation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) during culture, the present study was conducted to elucidate whether testosterone contribute to the permissive effect of ECM on SSCs diffe...
