Journal ArticleDOI

A portable single-sided magnet system for remote NMR measurements of pulmonary function.

TL;DR: It is argued that very low spatial resolution measurements of different lobar lung regions will provide useful diagnostic information for clinicians treating Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome as clinicians want to avoid ventilator pressures that cause either lung over distension (too much pressure) or lung collapse (too little pressure).
Journal ArticleDOI

Hopping Hoops Don't Hop

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that Tokeida's and Littlewood's solution is wrong, even with a more realistic hoop and more realistic friction, and suggested some approaches to a self consistent investigation of the rolling-hoop problem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geometric Hysteresis of Alveolated Ductal Architecture

TL;DR: There is a significant, and underappreciated, amount of geometric hysteresis in alveolar ductal architecture; and the contribution of smooth muscle and surfactant to geometric hyesteresis are of opposite senses, tending toward cancellation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A theory of diffuse light scattering by lungs.

TL;DR: The rudiments of a technique with implications for the possibility of dynamic stereology are presented, and an approximate formula is developed describing how the backscattered intensity varies with distance from the point of light entry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determinants of friction in soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication

TL;DR: The results confirm that the shear-induced deformation of an initially symmetrical shape, including generalizations to other symmetrical geometries such as quadratic or piecewise linear bumps, leads to load-supporting behavior.
