Blood resistivity is an important quantity whose value influences the results of various methods used in the study of heart and circulation. In this paper, the relationship between blood resistivity and velocity of blood flow was evaluated and analyzed based upon a probe using six-ring electrodes and a circulatory model. The experimental results indicated that the change in blood resistivity wa...

First-principles study of spin-disorder resistivity of heavy rare-earth metals: Gd–Tm series" (2012). Kirill Belashchenko Publications. 11. Electrical resistivity of heavy rare-earth metals has a dominant contribution from thermal spin-disorder scattering. Here this spin-disorder resistivity is calculated for the Gd-Tm series of metals in the paramagnetic state. Calculations are performed withi...

BACKGROUND The relative roles of the gap-junctional proteins connexin40 (Cx40) and connexin43 (Cx43) in determining human atrial myocardial resistivity is unknown. In addressing the hypothesis that changing relative expression of Cx40 and Cx43 underlies an increase in human atrial myocardial resistivity with age, this relationship was investigated by direct ex vivo measurement of gap-junctional...

An acoustic method is proposed for measuring the flow resistivity and the thickness of air-saturated porous materials. The conventional methods [14, 16, 17] for the measurement of the flow resistivity (or the viscous permeability) require the prior knowledge of the porosity. The method presented in this work is based on a temporal model of the direct problem in which a simplified expression (in...

Electrical resistivity (ER) is a main parameter in the melting processes of glasses. However, its measurement is difficult at high temperatures. In this study the electrical resistivity of different cordierite glass samples in the molten state was measured in the temperature range of 1100˚C to 1550 ˚C using the two-wire method. It was attempted to decrease the electrical resistivity of the glas...

Sound working of transmitting power is very essential. For immaculate working of the machines, bearings play an important and critical role. Standard monitoring methods of performance evaluation of rolling element bearings with high degree of reliability are yet to be explored. Authors have proposed rolling element bearing test rig for the same [3]. The formulation requires essentially the elec...

PURPOSE To investigate the usefulness of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in the evaluation of intracranial pressure changes after head injury. METHODS Transcranial Doppler examinations and intracranial pressure measurements using intraparenchymal monitors were performed in 12 cases of closed head injury. Twenty-four sets of data, including the Glasgow Coma Scale, intracranial pressure, t...

resistivity and induced polarization methods are used in exploration of porphyry metals for years. the resistivity method is used in the study of horizontal and vertical discontinuities in the electrical properties of the ground. the induced polarization method makes use of the capacitive action of the subsurface to locate zones where conductive minerals are disseminated within their host rocks...
