Gravitational collapse of cylindrical anisotropic fluid has been considered in analogy with the work of Misner and Sharp. Using Darmois matching conditions, the interior cylindrical dissipative fluid (in the form of shear viscosity and heat flux )is matched to an exterior vacuum Einstein–Rosen space-time. It is found that on the bounding 3-surface the radial pressure of the anisotropic perfect ...

BACKGROUND High blood pressure causes a change in vascular wall structure involving altered extracellular matrix composition, but how this process occurs is not fully understood. METHODS AND RESULTS Using mouse carotid arteries maintained in organ culture for 3 days, we detected increased gelatin zymographic activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 (168+/-13%, P<0.05) in vessels kept at l...

1 Abstract Self-consistent mouvement of initial perturbation in density, velocity and grav-itation potentail on the background of the stationary cylindrical configuration of the gas with gravitation and pressure in Lagrange variables have been studied. The nonlinear partial differential equation for description radius motion has been obtained. The linearization of this equation is reduced to a ...

Suture line stress concentration and intimal hyperplasia are related to the long-term complications of end-toside and side-to-side anastomosis. Several factors, such as hemodynamic effects, biological activities and the mechanical properties of the blood vessels, are identified to influence the problem. Yet, it is not completely clear which are the factors that influence most the long-term comp...

Much work has already been done on Type IV high-pressure vessels, both from an experimental and numerical point of view. The prediction the maximum pressure before bursting, effect thermal cycles, defect damage tolerance, fire resistance, liner collapse are topics generally numerically studied at scale samples. In these previous works, passage specimen to structure is not fully validated by com...

We tested the hypothesis that lymphatics would exhibit myogenic constrictions and dilations to intraluminal pressure changes. Collecting lymphatic vessels were isolated from rat mesentery, cannulated, and pressurized for in vitro study. The lymphatic diameter responses to controlled intraluminal pressure steps of different magnitudes were tested in the absence and presence of the inflammatory m...
