Mucociliary clearance is one of the major lines of defense of the human respiratory system.The mucus layer coating the airways is constantly moved along and out of the lung by the activity of motile cilia, expelling at the same time particles trapped in it.The efficiency of the cilia motion can experimentally be assessed by measuring the velocity o
A fully coupled hydro-servo-aero-elastic simulator for the analysis of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is presented.All physical aspects are addressed, and the corresponding equations are concurrently solved within the same computational framework, taking into account the wind and wave excitations, the aerodynamic response of the rotor, the
ABSTRACT Today, talking about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the same as talking about cases that occur in one in 160 births worldwide.Some of them will be able to live independently when they grow up while others will have less autonomy and will be more dependent, requiring the support of caregivers throughout their lives.Objective: Understandi
