Distributed self-regulation of living tissue. Effects of nonideality [PDF]
Self-regulation of living tissue as an example of self-organization phenomena in active fractal systems of biological, ecological, and social nature is under consideration. The characteristic feature of these systems is the absence of any governing center and, thereby, their self-regulation is based on a cooperative interaction of all the elements. The

Anomalous properties of heat diffusion in living tissue caused by branching artery network. Qualitative description [PDF]
We analyze the effect of blood flow through large arteries of peripheral circulation on heat transfer in living tissue. Blood flow in such arteries gives rise to fast heat propagation over large scales, which is described in terms of heat superdiffusion. The corresponding bioheat heat equation is derived.

Inhomogeneous K-function for germ-grain models [PDF]
In this paper, we propose a generalization to germ-grain models of the inhomogeneous K-function of Point Processes. We apply them to a sample of images of peripheral blood smears obtained from patients with Sickle Cell Disease, in order to decide whether the sample belongs to the thin, thick or morphological region.

A multicore parallel algorithm for multiscale modelling of an entire human blood circulation network [PDF]
The presented multi-scale, closed-loop blood circulation model includes arterial, venous, and portal venous systems, heart-pulmonary circulation, and micro-circulation in capillaries. One-dimensional models simulate large blood vessel flow, whereas zerodimensional models are used for simulating blood flow in vascular subsystems corresponding to ...
