Predicting the macroscopic properties of thin fiber-based porous materials from their microscopic morphology remains challenging because of the structural heterogeneity of these materials. In this study, computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed to compute volume air flow based on tomographic image data of uncompressed and compressed paper sheets. To reduce computational demands, a pore network model was employed...

We have previously shown that histamine (2-(1 H -imidazol-4-yl)ethanamine) exerted concentration-dependent positive inotropic effects (PIE) or positive chronotropic effects (PCE) on isolated left and right atria, respectively, of transgenic (H 2 R-TG) mice that overexpress the human H 2 histamine receptor (H 2 R) in the heart; however, the effects were not seen in their wild-type (WT) littermates. Amitriptyline, which is still...
