This "titration-restitution" model [31] can explain why CI induction can be suppressed when infected males mate with females infected with the same strain of Wolbachia [2].
In our model, shallow restitution curves were correlated with shorter APDs and periods, whereas steep restitution curves corresponded to longer APDs and periods (see Ref. 23).
Existing objects are generated through the use of different styles of photogrammetric modeling; however, non-existing or modified objects are generated by application of historical photo restitution combined with 3D modeling.
We performed steady 1 Hz pacing, S1 S2, and dynamic restitution protocols on the models, recording quantities such as APD50, APD90, triangulation, and maximum restitution slopes.
Meanwhile, the separate role of inter-particle inelastic collisions, accounted for in the model via the restitution coefficient (e) and friction coefficient, has also been studied.
It should be noted that the mapping of TNNP model parameters to restitution slope values that we used is not unique and that the same slopes may likely be obtained using other combinations of parameter settings.
The strong dependence of the pseudo-fluid properties of the particle phase, such as pressure, bulk viscosity and shear viscosity, on the granular temperature accounts for the influence of the coefficient of restitution of particles on CFD modeling.
Five different contact models are considered: a coefficient of restitution method, a penalty stiffness method, two similar elastic plastic constitutive models, and a dissimilar elastic plastic constitutive model.
This generic ventricular model approximates well the restitution properties and spiral wave behavior of more complex ionic models of cardiac action potentials.
