Subject-Specific Calculation of Left Atrial Appendage Blood-Borne Particle Residence Time Distribution in Atrial Fibrillation

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia that leads to thrombus formation, mostly in the left atrial appendage (LAA). The current standard of stratifying stroke risk, based on the CHA2DS2-VASc score, does not consider LAA morphology, and ...

14C Mean residence time of soil organic carbon under contrasting climates in some of rangelands of Khozestan province, Iran [PDF]

مجله علوم و فنون هسته‌ای, 2020
Nowadays, to mitigate global warming, soil can play a significant role as a pool of terrestrial carbon. Therefore, the objective of the study was to investigate the effect of climate on the radiocarbon Mean Resistance Time (MRT) in surface and subsurface

Submarine Groundwater Discharge From Sediments and Sand Boils Quantified by the Mean Residence Time of a Tracer Injection

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
To quantify submarine groundwater discharge, we developed an inexpensive automated seepage meter that applies a tracer injection and the computation of the mean residence time. The SGD-MRT is designed to measure a wide range of discharge rates from about

Stability Analysis and Synthesis for 2-D Switched Systems with Random Disturbance

Mathematics, 2022
In this paper, the stability analysis and controller design of two-dimensional (2-D) switched system with random disturbances are studied. First, based on the Fornasini–Marchesini local state space model, a random discrete 2-D switched system model is ...

A novel approach for accurate quantification of lake residence time — Lake Kinneret as a case study

Water Research X, 2022
Water residence time, which is affected by increasing water demands and climate change, plays a crucial role in lakes and reservoirs since it influences many natural physical and ecological processes that eventually impact the water quality of the ...

Charcoal Fine Residues Effects on Soil Organic Matter Humic Substances, Composition, and Biodegradability

Agronomy, 2019
Biochar has been shown as a potential mean to enhance carbon sequestration in the soil. In Brazil, approximately 15% of the produced charcoal is discarded as charcoal fines, which are chemically similar to biochar.

A fluid-mechanics based classification scheme for surface transient storage in riverine environments: quantitatively separating surface from hyporheic transient storage [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Surface transient storage (STS) and hyporheic transient storage (HTS) have functional significance in stream ecology and hydrology. Currently, tracer techniques couple STS and HTS effects on stream nutrient cycling; however, STS resides in localized ...
