Climate scientists conducting research on past, present and future climate use three-dimensional general circulation models to probe questions about the atmosphere and the Earth System. This scientific process generates massive amounts of data covering a broad spatio-temporal range. One example of coordinated climate modeling efforts is the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) as...
Advances in numerical methods and three-dimensional imaging techniques have enabled the quantification of cardiovascular mechanics in subject-specific anatomic and physiologic models. Research efforts have been focused mainly on three areas: i) pathogenesis of vascular disease, ii) development of medical devices, and iii) virtual surgical planning.
However, despite great initial...
