Neutron Transport Analysis for In-vessel Diagnostics in ITER

Nuclear transport analysis using the MCNP code and heat analysis using a general purpose Finite Element Method code ANSYS 11, respectively, have been carried out for in-vessel components of the microfission chamber (MFC) and the poloidal polarimeter. The nuclear heating rates of the MI cable and the exhaust pipe of the MFC are highest in the gap between two adjacent blanket modules and decrease...

Small-vessel and medium-vessel vasculitis.

Introduction The vasculitides include a broad spectrum of disorders that span a clinical spectrum from benign, self-limited disease to fulminant conditions that are fatal in the absence of therapy. Whereas the large-vessel vasculitides consist of 2 principal disorders, giant cell arteritis and Takayasu arteritis, the mediumand small-vessel vasculitides are much more diverse, including multiple ...

Ex vivo blood vessel imaging using ultrasound-modulated optical microscopy.

Recently we developed ultrasound-modulated optical microscopy (UOM) based on a long-cavity confocal Fabry-Perot interferometer (CFPI). This interferometer is used for real-time detection of multiply scattered light modulated by high frequency (30 to 75 MHz) ultrasound pulses propagating in an optically, strongly scattering medium. In this work, we use this microscope to study the dependence of ...

Development of a physiologic ex vivo vessel perfusion system

large vessel involvement in behcet’s disease

large vessel involvement is one of the hallmarks of behcet’s disease (bd) but its prevalence varies widely due to ethnic variation or environmental factors. the aim of this study is to find the characteristics of vasculo-behcet (vb) in iran. in a cohort of 4769 patients with bd, those with vascular involvement were selected. different manifestations of disease were compared with the remaining g...
