There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

“Intraoperative Blood Velocities Measurements in the Good Old Days + Extra Feature: Watch the Giraffe - It Can Control its Blood Pressure”
Hans Nygaard, DMSc.
Biomedical Engineering
University of Aarhus, Denmark
Talk: Technology Enterprise Park, room 104. Seminar will be made available via videoconference in the U.A. Whitaker Building, room 1103.
Hemodynamic measurements have evolved tremendously over the last several decades. This talk covers historical aspects and development of flow measurement techniques, many of which are still in use today. In order to learn how we can improve the control of human hemodynamic parameters this equipment is also utilized in animals such as the giraffe, which presents an intriguing example of how blood pressure can be controlled. The seminar will feature a case study of giraffe hemodynamics.
