    The analysis and simulation of the human thermoregulatory control system

    The paper describes a study into one aspect of the thermoregulatory control system in man. An analysis of this control system led to the hypothesis that thermoregulation in humans is achieved by two basic cont...

    Measurement of heart-rate variability: Part 1—Comparative study of heart-rate variability analysis methods

    A definition of heart-rate variability (h.r.v.) is given. The use of h.r.v. measurement in both clinical applications and the neural cardiovascular research is discussed. For the latter applications, four diff...

    Comparison of computer models of the human arterial system for the assessment of clinical data

    Arterial pressure and flow measurements can be analysed using a mathematical model of the circulation. A comparison of four models of the circulation used in this way is presented. The results indicate some cr...
