The aim of this study is to compare the graphene produced using a biotechnological method (Escherichia coli) with the graphene produced by Hummers' method (a chemical method) and to study the effect on the energy consumption ...
Assessment of calcified aortic valve leaflet deformations and blood flow dynamics using fluid-structure interaction modeling
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Aortic valve diseases are among the most common cardiovascular defects. Since a non-functioning valve results in disturbed blood flow conditions, the diagnosis of such defects is based on identification of stenosis via ...
