This could be of use when developing permeable gas transfer membranes where tortuosity and roughness could impede gas flow.
12.
Another method, proposed in 1999, is to estimate the tortuosity as integral of square ( or module ) of curvature.
13.
The gene TGFBR2 has been implicated in several connective tissue disorders including Marfan syndrome, arterial tortuosity, and thoracic aortic aneurysm.
14.
Because of the porous materials found in several layers of the Fuel Cells, the tortuosity is an important variable to be analyzed.
15.
The term varicocele specifically refers to dilatation and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus, which is the network of veins that drain the testicle.
16.
In 2005 it was proposed to measure tortuosity by an integral of square of derivative of curvature, divided by the length of a curve:
17.
Technical difficulties are because of loops and tortuosity of the radial and the subclavian artery, anatomical variations in radial artery, and radial spasm.
18.
It is important to notice that there are different kind of tortuosity, i . e ., gas-phase, ionic and electronic tortuosity.
19.
It is important to notice that there are different kind of tortuosity, i . e ., gas-phase, ionic and electronic tortuosity.
20.
In acoustics and following initial works by Maurice Anthony Biot in 1956, the tortuosity is used to describe sound propagation in fluid-saturated porous media.
