The outbreak of the coronavirus disease has drawn public attention to the transmission of
infectious pathogens, and as major carriers of those pathogens, respiratory droplets play an …

This study investigates outdoor public health by predicting the airflow fields and probabilistic
size of breathing zones. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed in …

The assessment of potential health risks from exposure to airborne contaminants and the
inhalability of microparticles through human nasal breathing is crucial for the design of …

CFD has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool for clinical trials, with tremendous
potential. However, for real clinical applications to be useful, overall statistical findings from …

The air-conditioning characteristics of the human nasal cavity were investigated using
computational fluid dynamics. The wall layer was modeled as a heat conducting layer …

Despite extensive efforts in studying radioactive aerosols, including the transmission of
radionuclides in different chemical matrices throughout the body, the internal organ-specific …

Studies regarding the pollen transport and deposition in children nasal airways are still
scarce, especially the regional deposition doses, which is difficult to provide guidance for …

Background Exhaled aerosol patterns, also called aerosol fingerprints, provide clues to the
health of the lung and can be used to detect disease-modified airway structures. The key is …

Background Each lung structure exhales a unique pattern of aerosols, which can be used to
detect and monitor lung diseases non-invasively. The challenges are accurately interpreting …

Toxicology studies often use laboratory animals as surrogates for human subjects because
of the relatively similar nasal anatomy that allows data extrapolation between species. An …
