Previous trunk model studies have either neglected or over-simplified the trunk redundancy with time-varying unknown muscle forces.
Epidemiological and animal model studies have suggested that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can act as chemopreventive agents.
Few animal model studies have been published comparing the microcirculatory effects of different types of fluid resuscitation for sepsis and septic shock.
As the computer performance increases, Ugai's 2D model studies have been developed to 3D study (Ugai et al. 2004, 2005; Ugai 2010).
In coastal engineering, short wave basin physical model studies have played a very vital role to support the optimization of harbour layout planning.
Cell culture and animal model studies have strongly suggested a role for the rate-limiting enzyme for hexosamine biosynthesis, glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) in insulin resistance.
Animal model studies have been invaluable for elucidating general strategies, pathways, processes and guiding the development of hypotheses to test in target animals.
Given most of animal model studies have been focused on adulthood stage, the effect of recurrent seizures to immature brain in neonatal period has not been well established.
Model studies have shown that the chemistry of the CNTs in the fiber/matrix interphase plays a critical role in the mechanical performance of the composite.
Furthermore, rodent model studies have shown that SCFAs administration can decrease systolic blood pressure mediated by GPR41 expressed in vascular endothelium, while GPR41 knock out mice have isolated systolic hypertension compared with wild-type (WT) mice (Natarajan et al., 2016).
The many model studies have been done; however, most of them are based on the layered earth model (without horizontal heterogeneity) and have not handled the spatial heterogeneity of earth's conductivity structure.
