Relative dispersion: A characterizing feature of specific vascular beds. Anesth Analg 56: 72-77, 1977.

Description

   This model is BTEX10 with parameters generating Figure 2 of the reference given
below. A second model is included to illustrate Figure 5 of the reference.

fig 1

  Upper Left: SPATIAL (SKewness=0). A random process causes spreading 
  that is symmetrical with respect to distance around the centroid.

  Upper Right: TEMPORAL (Skewness>0, right-skewed). Concentration-time 
  curves obtained be sampling at a given location are always right-skewed.

  Lower:  Effect of Mean trans-pulmonary transit time on pulmonary dispersion.
  Transpulmonary dispersion is very nearly proportional to mean transit
  time in anesthetized dogs. The ordinatee is the SD. Relative dispersion is 
  the ratio of ordinate to abscissa, or the slope and is nearly constant.

Equations

The equations for this model may be viewed by running the JSim model applet and clicking on the Source tab at the bottom left of JSim's Run Time graphical user interface. The equations are written in JSim's Mathematical Modeling Language (MML). See the Introduction to MML and the MML Reference Manual. Additional documentation for MML can be found by using the search option at the Physiome home page.
