From a biomechanics viewpoint, AoD involves failure of load-bearing microstructural components of the aortic wall, mainly elastin and collagen fibers.
The results of this study represent a substantial step toward anatomical characterization of the aortic wall building blocks and establishment of a foundation for quantifying the role of microstructural components on the functionality of aorta.
An inverse analysis procedure is used to extract the intrinsic thermal properties of those microstructural components for which data is not available.
Such statistical descriptors are involved in assessment of correlations between the microstructural components and are parts of mechanical theories which require formalization of the information about microstructural morphology.
The different water transport properties of the microstructural components were obtained experimentally or from literature.
In the present study a computational alloy design approach is presented to explore the chemical composition of high strength ferritic heat resistant steel designed to have an optimal solid solution strengthening, while minimising the presence of undesirable microstructural components.
Figure 2(A) shows a schematic diagram of the microstructural components in the limbal area (modified from [ 36]), and Fig. 2(B) shows a representative OCT structural cross-section of the human corneo-scleral limbus acquired from a temporal location.
Particles or precipitates in physical metallurgy are important microstructural components which control mechanical properties and phase transformation behaviors such as the recrystallization, grain growth and anisotropy of metallic materials.
The key component of a microstructural diffusion MRI 'super-scanner' is a dedicated high-strength gradient system that enables stronger diffusion weightings per unit time compared to conventional gradient designs.
In this study, MDD subjects exhibited brain microstructural abnormalities in the ventral tegmentum, a primary component of the subcortical reward/aversion circuitry.
