Tuberculosis is a major global health problem that has been ranked as the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide, after the human immunodeficiency virus. Diagnosis based on cultured specimens is the reference standard; however, results take weeks to obtain. Slow and insensitive diagnostic methods hampered the global cont...

Computational modeling of bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BiMHV) flow requires experimentally validated datasets and improved knowledge of BiMHV fluid mechanics. In this study, flow was studied downstream of a model BiMHV in an axisymmetric aortic sinus using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry. The inlet flow was steady and the Reynolds numb...

In the present study, well known scale-space filtering (SSF) algorithm is used in combination with a linear mapping approach (LMA) to obtain clear auditory evoked potential (EP) waveform. The proposed combination involves two sequential steps: At first, the EEG noise level is reduced from -5 to 0 dB owing to the LMA based on the singular-value-deco...

In the present study, standard Tikhonov regularization (STR) Technique and the subspace regularization (SR) method have been applied to remove the additive EEG noise on average auditory-evoked potential (EP) signals. In methodological manner, the difference between these methods is the formation of regularization matrices which are used to solve th...

Microvascular remodeling is known to depend on cellular interactions with matrix tissue. However, it is difficult to study the role of specific cells or matrix elements in an in vivo setting. The aim of this study is to develop an automated technique that can be employed to obtain and analyze local collagen matrix remodeling by single smooth muscle...
