چکیده
The purpose of this study was to discover the cause and magnitude of changes in the body-surface potentials occurring when: (1) fluids of various conductivity were added to the pericardial sac, or (2) the volume of the blood within chambers of the heart was either increased or decreased. Fluids added to the pericardium were physiological saline, whole-blood, and mineral oil. Magnitudes of body-surface potentials were compared to the predictions based on a mathematical eccentric spheres model of the heart and torso developed previously by Rudy and Plonsey. Data demonstrated conclusively that there is a nonlinear relationship between the body-surface potentials and the conductivity of the pericardial layer. This relationship is one in which the body-surface potentials of the anterior chest were found to decrease when conductivity of the pericardial layer was either increased or decreased. These changes in body-surface potentials were caused solely by alterations in the conductivity and volume of the fluid effusate. It was demonstrated that these changes were not caused by any "stretching" or "compression" of the cardiac tissue caused by the altered fluid volumes in and around the heart. Findings were accurately predicted by the eccentric spheres model, thereby confirming the model's usefulness as a predictive instrument. The model provides an explanation for the nonlinear relationship that was exhibited by the data. (Cue Res 55: 788-793, 1984)

متن کاملFuzzy Sliding Mode for Spacecraft Formation Control in Eccentric Orbits
The problem of relative motion control for spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper. Due to the presence of nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a robust fuzzy sliding mode controller is developed. The slopes of sliding surfaces of the conventional sliding mode controller are tuned according to error states using a fuzzy logic and reach the pre-define...

متن کاملGenetic programming approach for flow of steady state fluid between two eccentric spheres
Genetic Programming (GP) is used to estimate the functions that describe the torque and the force acting on the external sphere due to steady state motion of viscoelastic fluid between two eccentric spheres. The GP has been running based on experimental data of the torque at different eccentricities to produce torque for each target eccentricity. The angular velocity of the inner sphere and the...
