Although conduction velocity in cardiac tissue is dependent on fiber orientation, the influence of commonly used antiarrhythmic agents on conduction longitudinal and transverse to such fibers is unknown. We evaluated the effects of procainamide on conduction velocity and intracellular potentials in vitro during conduction longitudinal and transverse to fiber orientation in epicardial strips obt...

It is well known that the mechanical properties of materials depend of the rolling direction, which means that the direction of specimen cutting affect the obtained values. This feature also exists in the welded joint, where the anisotropy is caused by direction of the deposit welded layers. One high-carbon steel is surface welded by flux-cored wire and specimens were cut in order to determine ...

The results of numerical modeling in longitudinal ventilated sloping road tunnels are given. slope the varies range 0-6%. geometry tunnel is as follows: length: 100 m; width: 8 height: 6 area seat fire: 16 m2. fire sized: 2.75x5.8x1.5 m central part tunnel. scenarios development 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 MW fires studied case positive and negative directional ventilation flows. time modelling was 120 s...

It is known that the effect of flecainide on longitudinal and transverse ventricular conduction velocities depends on the coupling interval. If this is so, whether the longitudinal or transverse direction is predominantly affected could depend on the magnitude of the coupling interval. In order to investigate this hypothesis, we studied the effect of flecainide, 1 micromol/L, on conduction velo...

The purpose of this research is to study the wave propagation in orthotropic generalized thermoelastic half-space with voids under initial stress. It is found that, for two dimensional model of orthotropic generalized thermoelastic material with voids under initial stress, there exists three quasi-longitudinal waves namely, quasi-longitudinal wave (QP-mode), quasi-longitudinal thermal wave (QPT...
