In Vitro Cytocompatibility Assessment of Ti-Modified, Silicon-oxycarbide-Based, Polymer-Derived, Ceramic-Implantable Electrodes under Pacing Conditions

Jürgen Brugger, Demetri Psaltis, Eirini Kakkava, Giulia Panusa, Jongmoon Jang, Pierrick Guy Robert Clément

Polymer-derived ceramics (PDC) have recently gained increased interest in the field of bioceramics. Among PDC's, carbon-rich silicon oxycarbide ceramics (SiOC) possess good combined electrical and mechanical properties. Their durability in aggressive envir ...

High-speed mechano-active multielectrode array for investigating rapid stretch effects on cardiac tissue

Herbert Shea, Matthias Imboden, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin

Systematic investigations of the effects of mechano-electric coupling (MEC) on cellular cardiac electrophysiology lack experimental systems suitable to subject tissues to in-vivo like strain patterns while simultaneously reporting changes in electrical act ...

Improved hybrid/GPU algorithm for solving cardiac electrophysiology problems on Purkinje networks

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara, Toni Mikael Lassila

Cardiac Purkinje fibers provide an important pathway to the coordinated contraction of the heart. We present a numerical algorithm for the solution of electrophysiology problems across the Purkinje network that is efficient enough to be used in in silico s ...

A coupled 3D-1D numerical monodomain solver for cardiac electrical activation in the myocardium with detailed Purkinje network

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara, Toni Mikael Lassila

We present a model for the electrophysiology in the heart to handle the electrical propagation through the Purkinje system and in the myocardium, with two-way coupling at the Purkinje-muscle junctions. In both the subproblems the monodomain model is consid ...

An effective algorithm for the generation of patient-specific Purkinje networks in computational electrocardiology

Fabio Nobile, Christian Vergara, Elena Faggiano

The Purkinje network is responsible for the fast and coordinated distribution of the electrical impulse in the ventricle that triggers its contraction. Therefore, it is necessary to model its presence to obtain an accurate patient-specific model of the ven ...

Patient-specific generation of the Purkinje network driven by clinical measurements of a normal propagation

Alfio Quarteroni, Fabio Nobile, Christian Vergara, Elena Faggiano

The propagation of the electrical signal in the Purkinje network is the starting point for the activation of the ventricular muscular cells leading to the contraction of the ventricle. In the computational models, describing the electrical activity of the ...

On the Security of HB# against a Man-in-the-Middle Attack

Serge Vaudenay, Khaled Ouafi

At EuroCrypt ’08, Gilbert, Robshaw and Seurin proposed HB# to improve on HB+ in terms of transmission cost and security against man-in-the-middle attacks. Although the security of HB# is formally proven against a certain class of man- in-the-middle adversa ...
