Entropy Production and the Pressure-Volume Curve of the Lung
Cláudio L. N. Oliveira, Ascânio D. Araújo, Jason H. T. Bates +2
We investigate analytically the production of entropy during a breathing cycle in healthy and diseased lungs. First, we calculate entropy production in healthy lungs by applying th…
A network model of correlated growth of tissue stiffening in pulmonary fibrosis
Cláudio L. N. Oliveira, Jason H. T. Bates, Béla Suki
During the progression of pulmonary fibrosis, initially isolated regions of high stiffness form and grow in the lung tissue due to collagen deposition by fibroblast cells. We have…
Dynamics of Enzyme Digestion of a Single Elastic Fiber Under Tension: An Anisotropic Diffusion Model
Ascânio D. Araújo, Arnab Majumdar, Harikrishnan Parame swaran +1
We study the enzymatic degradation of an elastic fiber under tension using an an isotropic random-walk model, coupled with binding-unbinding reactions that weaken the fiber. The fi…
Avalanches in the lung: A statistical mechanical model
A. -L. Barabási, S. V. Buldyrev, H. E. Stanley +1
We study a statistical mechanical model for the dynamics of lung inflation which incorporates recent experimental observations on the opening of individual airways by a cascade or…
