Network diffusion capacity unveiled by dynamical paths [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Improving the understanding of diffusive processes in networks with complex topologies is one of the main challenges of today's complexity science. Each network possesses an intrinsic diffusive potential that depends on its structural connectivity.

Dual test gas pulmonary diffusing capacity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis 40 years after diagnosis [PDF]
Experimental PhysiologyThere is limited knowledge on diffusing capacity in scoliosis patients. It remains to be determined if impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity is mostly influenced by reduced alveolar–capillary membrane diffusing capacity (DM, CO), reduced pulmonary ...

Risk Factors Associated with Impairment in Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity among Patients with Noncystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis [PDF]
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2022 This study aims to investigate the risk factors associated with impaired pulmonary diffusing capacity among patients with noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) and compare the predictive value of several scoring systems for the impairment in these ...

Capacity of Discrete Molecular Diffusion Channels [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 In diffusion-based molecular communications, messages can be conveyed via the variation in the concentration of molecules in the medium. In this paper, we intend to analyze the achievable capacity in transmission of information from one node to another in a diffusion channel. We observe that because of the molecular diffusion in the medium, the channel

Lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide in space: microgravity gas density interactions [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Introduction: During manned space exploration lung health is threatened by toxic planetary dust and radiation. Thus, tests such as lung diffusing capacity (DL) are likely be used in planetary habitats to monitor lung health. During a DL maneuver the rate

Alveolar-membrane diffusing capacity limits performance in Boston marathon qualifiers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 PURPOSE: (1) to examine the relation between pulmonary diffusing capacity and marathon finishing time, and (2), to evaluate the accuracy of pulmonary diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) in predicting marathon finishing time relative to that of ...

Mapping EQ5D utilities from forced vital capacity and diffusing capacity in fibrotic interstitial lung disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 ObjectivesFibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) includes a large group of conditions that lead to scarring of the lungs. The lack of available 5-level EuroQol 5D (EQ5D) data has limited the ability to conduct economic evaluations in ILD.
