As we walk towards our destinations, our trajectories are constantly influenced by the presence of obstacles and infrastructural elements; even in the absence of crowding our paths are often curved. Since the early 2000s pedestrian dynamics have been extensively studied, aiming at quantitative models with both fundamental and technological relevance. Walking kinematics along straight paths have been experimentally investigated and quantitatively modeled in the diluted limit (i.

The solution of some recent as well as of long standing problems, unanswerable due to experimental inaccessibility or moral objections are addressed. In this report, a model of the closed human cardiovascular loop is developed. This model, using one set of 88 equations, allows variations from normal resting conditions to exercise, as well as to the ultimate condition of a circulation following cardiac arrest.
