Roman cements were key materials for the economic and easy manufacture of render (stucco) for the exterior of buildings during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. [...]

In the present contribution, a numerical simulation of the nonlinear behaviour of the Charles Bridge in Prague with the emphasis on the heterogeneous character of the mat [...]

The paper deals with the perfusion in hierarchically arranged double porous media constituted by transversely periodic layers. In each layer the reference periodic cell i [...]

The paper discusses a mathematical model of the isotonic smooth muscle contraction considering the influence of the excitation processes on the sarcolemma and inside the [...]

A 3D finite element model of the human larynx including the vocal folds was developed. The model enables to take into account phonation position (tension and adduction) o [...]

A two-layer statistically equivalent periodic unit cell with air voids is offered to predict a macroscopic response of plain weave multilayer textile composites. Two diff [...]

In this paper, we will present a robust and fast motion detection approach, which can localize and keeps track an object in motion under hard real-time constraints. To el [...]

Homogenization methods are becoming the most popular approach to modelling of heterogeneous materials. The main principle is to represent the heterogeneous microstructure [...]

The model of the human vocal fold is created with transfer matrix method. The model is made from 32 cylindric or conic elements for Czech vowel /u/. The calculation is ca [...]

The purpose of this contribution is to introduce a comparison of two Finite Element-based methods for computing the mechanical response to (thermo)mechanical loading of c [...]

A novel quantitative model of a guin ea-pig ventricular myocyte has been designed with transverse-axial tubular system (TATS) included. This model displays long-term stab [...]

In this paper, a new description of intracellular Ca2+ dynamics in the model of rat ventricular cardiomyocyte is presented. The principal modifications based on the recen [...]

Abstrakt: The stepping stone in evaluating effective elastic properties of woven composite tubes is an accurate geometrical description of the composite tube on meso-scal [...]

The transverse (T-) tubules of cardiac ventricular myocytes create a complex network of membrane invaginations. Many of the key proteins involved in excitation-contractio [...]

This contribution deals with problem of solids weakened by cracks or joints. The rock containing crack is the model example of such a problem. Determination of properties [...]

The paper offers a novel approach to the modeling of asphalt mixtures. It introduces a concept of so called statistically equivalent periodic unit cell (SECUP) known from [...]

Abstrakt: The transverse-axial tubular system (TAT-system) of cardiac muscle is a structure that allows rapid propagation of excitation into the cell interior. As suggest [...]

In this work, we present a new version of cardiac ventricular cell model incorporating the transverse - axial tubular system. The improvements include reformulated descri [...]
