Fluctuations of the Red Blood Cell Membrane: Relation to Mechanical Properties and Lack of ATP Dependence
TL;DR: The membrane fluctuations of the red cell are governed by bending modulus, membrane tension, and cytosolic viscosity, with little or no dependence on the presence or absence of ATP.

TL;DR: This chapter deals with the mechanisms of flow in the larger systemic arteries, and is concerned here with the aorta and its branches, which supply oxygenated blood to the organs of the body.
Wave-intensity analysis: a new approach to coronary hemodynamics.
TL;DR: In 10 anesthetized dogs, wave-intensity analysis (WIA) was used to identify the contributions of upstream (aortic) and downstream (microcirculatory) effects on P(LCx) and U( LCx).
Steady Flow in Porous, Elastically Deformable Materials
TL;DR: In this article, the steady, one-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid through a deformable porous material is studied theoretically and experimentally, assuming that the stiffness and permeability of the matrix are functions of the local strain gradient.

TL;DR: In this paper, the second derivative of the intensity image is used as a feature for segmentation of blood vessels in retinal images, which gives information about its topology and overcomes the problem of image intensity variations.
