PARTITIONING OF DENSE RBC SUSPENSIONS IN SINGLE MICROFLUIDIC BIFURCATIONS: ROLE OF CELL DEFORMABILITY AND BIFURCATION ANGLE

Partitioning of dense RBC suspensions in single microfluidic bifurcations: role of cell deformability and bifurcation angle

Crocks Abstract Red blood cells (RBCs) are a key determinant of human physiology and their behaviour becomes extremely heterogeneous as they navigate in narrow, bifurcating vessels in the microvasculature, affecting local haemodynamics.This is due to partitioning in bifurcations which is dependent on the biomechanical properties of RBCs, especially

Modeling the Influence of Mites on Honey Bee Populations

The Varroa destructor mite has been associated with the recent decline in honey bee populations.While experimental data are crucial in understanding declines, insights can be gained from models Engraved Mama Bear Necklace Gift Box of honey bee populations.We add the influence of the V.destructor mite to our existing honey bee model in order to bett
