What is Sinusoids: Definition and 38 Discussions

A capillary is a small blood vessel from 5 to 10 micrometres (μm) in diameter, and having a wall one endothelial cell thick. They are the smallest blood vessels in the body: they convey blood between the arterioles and venules. These microvessels are the site of exchange of many substances with the interstitial fluid surrounding them. Substances which cross capillaries include water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, urea, glucose, uric acid, lactic acid and creatinine. Lymph capillaries connect with larger lymph vessels to drain lymphatic fluid collected in the microcirculation.
During early embryonic development, new capillaries are formed through vasculogenesis, the process of blood vessel formation that occurs through a de novo production of endothelial cells that then form vascular tubes. The term angiogenesis denotes the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing blood vessels and already present endothelium which divides.

    A Fitness function for window length of filter

    Fitness function for window length of filter On a sinusoidal signal with amplitude 1, and period P, an exponential moving average (EMA) (with alpha = 1/n), and a linear weighted moving average (LWMA) (with window length n) are calculated; when you subtract the EMA from the LWMA, it can be seen...

    Aliasing, Continuous sinusoids and discrete sinusoids....

    Hello, I understand that continuous sinusoids can have any arbitrary frequency ##f## and are always periodic with period ##T=1/f##. A continuous sinusoid looks like this: $$x(t)= sin(2\pi f t+\theta_0)$$ On the other hand, discrete-time sinusoids are not always periodic. They are periodic only...

    Calculate the phase angle between two sinusoids

    I am trying to do exactly what was stated, by finding it with calculations only, so, without having to draw the curves. Is that possible? Here is my attempt: v1(t) = -10cos(wt + 50) and v2(t) = 12sin(wt-10) v1(t) = -10cos(wt + 50) becomes v1(t) = -10sin(wt+50+90) = v1(t) = -10sin(wt+140) Now...

I don't understand when there is a graph that looks the same yet the answers come out with degrees such as y=2sin(fada+45degrees) and another will come out y=10+2sin4fada. :confused:
