Mathematical modeling, glitches expected

05:35pm

Yes, I am back after a long,.. long tiime! Yes, been bus, No, not studies.., watching movies.. :) Not really though. Internal tests were there. Had to take a break from project work. So here we begin again. Discussed various models with the External Guide, and finally came up with this paper as the most ideal one.

Here's the jist of what was discussed on the last callcon with my External Guide:


The selected model is an ideal model because:
  1. It simple.
  2. Model parameter values have been provided.
  3. It not only talks about feto-placental circulation, but gives circulation in other important arteries like cerebral artery.


Short Timeline:
  • By 2 weeks, that is, till Diwali, the simulation of this model on Simulink should be ready for review by the External Guide.
  • If the model gives results that match the ones given in the paper, for a normal lady, then pathological cases could be taken up.
  • This could be then presented to the ethical committee, and approved for collection of data for abnormal patients.
  • Parallely, could think about writing a paper. 
    • How we are going to present this topic?
    • Which conference to select? (Preference: International, IEEE conference)

PS: The experimental setup that the HOD was talking about should not be necessary anymore.
