A structural viscoelastic model of soft tissues.

abstract：:The electrical properties of red blood cell (RBC) suspensions are influenced by flow conditions, and prior studies indicate that electrical properties may reflect the kinetics of RBC aggregation. Changes of conductance and capacitance were monitored and had a time course resembling a "syllectogram" (i.e., temporal cha...
