| Abstract: |
Examines the dynamic behavior of lung surfactant. Emphasis on the oscillatory dynamics of lung surfactant transport to and from air-liquid interface; Use of an adsorption-limited model in study; Role of diffusion limited transport in transient period characterization; Impact of surfactant desorption from interface on pseudo-film collapse phenomenon. |
