Origin of arrhythmias in a heart model by Sheheitli, Hiba

“…An investigation of the nonlinear dynamics of a heart model is presented. The model compartmentalizes the heart into one part that beats autonomously (the x oscillator), representing the pacemaker or SA node, and a second part that beats only if excited by a signal originating outside itself (the y oscillator), representing typical cardiac tissue. …”

Effect of cycling and thermal control on the storage and dynamics of a 40-L monolithic adsorbed natural gas tank by Prosniewski, Matthew

“…It was found that over the course of 20 cycles, due to the retention of 1.9 kg of non-methane components by the monoliths, the useable volumetric storage dropped 16%, and the amount of gas delivered dropped 10%. A second cycling experiment found that by using thermal control while the system discharged, the mass retention decreased to 0.91 kg, and the useable volumetric storage and delivered mass only dropped 7% and 5%, respectively. …”
