1. A monitor comprising: a processing unit configured to: calculate one or more baseline attributes of a baseline plethysmographic signal obtained from a patient; compare one or more calculated attributes of a plethysmographic signal to the one or more calculated baseline attributes; and correlate ...
Ball and McLeish [10] treated the CR effects in a self-consistent way by assuming the relaxed arm segments as a solvent for the unrelaxed materials, which is generally termed as "dynamic tube dilation" (DTD). Later, Milner and McLeish [11] improved the theory for predicting mean FP ...
The characteristic relaxation time or first-passage (FP) time of a specific tube segment is determined by the time when the arm free end reaches it for the first time. For simplification, the retracting arm was modeled as one single particle which carries the friction experienced by the entire...
