Form and function of mammalian lung : analysis by scientific computing /
The study approaches the investigations of airway morphology of the lung with a new set of imaging and cmputer graphical methods, including confocal imaging, computer-guided image acquisition, visualization and fractal graphics. The key result is that, in contrast to the belief that the design of th...
