Numerical Investigation on the Geometrical Effects of Novel Graft Designs for Peripheral Artery Bypass Surgery
Abstract The design of prosthetic grafts plays an essential role on the hemodynamics through the graft anastomosis. Research has shown that swirling flow, which is caused by the rotational compressive pumping of the heart, is a natural phenomenon in ...

Case Studies of the Centre of Pressure Between Hand and Ball in Off-spin Bowling, Analysed with a Smart Cricket Ball
Abstract In off-spin bowling (finger-spin delivery with a sidespin, right-handed bowler), the ball rolls over the middle finger and rotates counterclockwise, as seen by the batsman. It is therefore expected that the torque imparted onto the ball is...
