    Notes: Abstract The displacement relationships describing the deformation of an elastic vessel under excess internal pressure which are derived from different theories of elasticity are compared. The main result of the comparison is that theories which take account of the thickness of the wall of the vessel produce a significantly better representation than those theories which treat the wall as a membrane. The classical and statistical theories of thick-walled tubes result in complicated pressure-radius relationships. It is shown that there is little difference between the results of the more exact theories and those for a thin membrane corrected by means of a simple thickness factor. A review of the different theories is necessary to decide which pressure-displacement relationship to apply as an approximation for the elastic properties of arteries. An indication is given of the manner in which the relationship is used in numerical computations. In Part 2 the experimental determination of the pressure-radius relationship for a rubber tube is described. The results are in agreement with the conclusions of the comparison of theoretical treatments in Part 1.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommaire Est décrit un modèle mathématique pouvant être utilisé pour calculer la circulation sanguine dans une artère normale à partir de pressions mesurées en deux points différents. Les équations établissant le mouvement d'un fluide dans un tube élastique sont simplifiées mais suffisamment réalistes pour pouvoir être appliquées à la circulation artérielle. On choisit une solution numérique pour les équations dont la moyenne a été établie pour chaque section du tube; ces équations sont résolues par la méthode des différences finies. On choisit un terme de substitution pour la constante de frottement qui ne peut pas être exprimée avec exactitude par ces équations différentielles partielles non linéaires. On démontre combien les résultats sont sensibles aux changements de la constante de frottement. On présente une méthode qui établit le frottement sur les parois grace à une approximation linéaire mais qui, dans le cadre des limites imposées, utilise néanmoins une valeur correcte en amplitude comme en phase. Les effects longeur-entrée sont corrigés. Les propriétés des parois sont représentées par un rapport pression/rayon élaboré à partir d'un précédent ouvrage écrit par les auteurs (Taylor etGerrard, 1976). L'utilisation du modèle est illustrée par l'emploi de données expérimentales citées parStreeter et al. (1963). La solution est parfaitement conforme aux résultats expérimentaux.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Ein amthematisches Modell wird beschrieben, mit dessen Hilfe man den Blutdurchflug in einer normalen Arterie aus dem an zwei verschiedenen Punkten gemessenen Druck berechnen kann. Die Gleichungen der Flüssigkeitsbewegung in einem elastischen Schlausch sind zwar vereinfacht, aber ausreichend der Wirklichkeit entsprechend, um auf die Arterien angewendet werden zu können. Man entscheidet für eine numerische Lösung der Gleichungen im Durchschnitt der Schlauchabschnitte, und die Gleichungen werden durch die Methode der endlichen Differenzen gelöst. Der Reibungsausdruck, der in diesen nicht-linearen partiellen Differenzial-gleichungen nicht genau bestimmt werden kann, wird substituiert. Die Sensitivität der Ergebnisse gegenüber Änderungen des Reibungsausdruckes wird aufgezeigt. Eine Methode wird vorgeführt, die die Hautreibung auf einem Linearnäherungswert begründet; innerhalb dieser Grenzen verwendet sie, was Größe Phase betrifft, einenrichtigen Wert. Für Eintrittslängeneffekte wird eine Eerichtigung vorgenommen. Die Eigenschaften der Arterienwand werden durch ein Druck/Radiusverhältnis dargestellt, das in früheren Artikeln von den Verfassern entwickelt wurde (Taylor undGerrard 1976). Die Verwen, dung dieses Modells wird anhand von Versuchsdaten, die vonStreeter u.a. (1963) angeführt wurden, dargelegt. Die Losung laßt sich vorteilhaft mit Versuchsergebnissen vergleichen.
    Notes: Abstract A mathematical model is described which can be used to calculate blood flow in a normal artery from pressures measured at two separated points. The equations of motion of fluid in an elastic tube are simplified but sufficient realism is retained for the application to arterial flow. A numerical solution to the equations averaged over each section of the tube is chosen and these equations are solved by the method of finite differences. A substitution is made for the frictional term which cannot be expressed exactly in these nonlinear partial differential equations. The sensitivity of the results to changes in the friction term is demonstrated. A method is presented which bases the skin friction on a linear approximation, but within this limitation uses a value which is correct in magnitude and phase. A correction is made for entrace-length effects. The wall properties are represented by a pressure-radius relationship developed from previous work by the authors (Taylor and Gerrard, 1976). The use of the model is illustrated by using experimental data quoted by Streeteret al. (1963). The solution compares favourably with the experimental results.

    Notes: Prostaglandin E2, transforming growth factor-β and interleukin-1β variably regulate the expression of cyclooxygenase 1, cyclooxygenase 2, and lysyl oxidase in IMR90, human embryo lung fibroblasts. Prostaglandin E2 at 100 nM upregulates cyclooxygenase 1 mRNA by approximately three-fold while it downregulates lysyl oxidase mRNA levels. Notably, prostaglandin E2 suppresses the enhancing effect of TGF-β on basal levels of lysyl oxidase mRNA. These changes in steady state mRNA levels reflect transcriptional level control, at least in part. Corresponding changes are seen in the protein levels of lysyl oxidase, cyclooxygenase 1 and cyclooxygenase 2 and in catalytic activities of these enzymes, including net prostaglandin E2 synthesis. Cyclooxygenase 2 mRNA(t1 2, 30 min) is considerably less stable than that of cyclooxygenase 1 (t1 2, 4h) while lysyl oxidase mRNA is unusually stable (t1 2 〉 14h). Taken together with the differing kinetics with which these genes respond to perturbation by these cytokines, the present results suggest a coordinated, autocrine-like mechanism of regulation of cyclooxygenase 1 and cyclooxygenase 2 and further point to the potential of their metabolic product, prostaglandin E2, to suppress the expression of lysyl oxidase in the inflammatory response to injury. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Description: AQUIFER establishes technical feasibility of an early-stage technology, a high-energy density, aqueous-based, flow battery, resulting in a near-term increase of 1.7 times range over an all-electric battery, while retiring fire and explosion hazards associated with lithium-based chemistries. The Nano-electrofuel (NEF) flow battery will be integrated with a rim-driven motor (RDM) as a multi-functional design to eliminate conductive EMI and weight from long cable runs, and provide liquid cooling from the aqueous fuel. When successful, the technology provides an improved safety energy storage solution for emission-free electric propulsion in commercial aviation.

    Description: An ever increasing number of actuation functions historically performed by hydraulics or pneumatics are being accomplished by electric actuation. If 'end to end' systems are considered, electric actuators (EA's) are potentially lighter and more efficient. In general, system redundancies may be more easily implemented and operationally monitored. Typically, electrical components exhibit longer mean times to failure and projected lifetime costs of EA's are potentially much lower than those of other options. EA's have certain characteristics which must be considered in their application. The actual mechanical loadings must be established, for the more easily controlled EA may be operated much closer to its full capabilities. At higher rates of motion, EA's are operating as constant power devices. Therefore, it may be possible to start a movement that can not be stopped. The incorporation of high power electronics into remote locations introduces new concerns of EMI and thermal control. It is the management of these and other characteristics that forms the engineering design challenges. Work is currently in progress on EA's for aircraft and expendable launch vehicles. These applications span from ten to 40+ horsepower. The systematics and status of these actuators will be reported along with current technical trends in this area.
