Cauliflower-like mass attached to the left atrial roof.
A 75-year-old man was referred to our hospital for investigation of a suspected mass in the left atrium (LA) and asymmetric septal hypertrophy of the left ventricle without significant obstruction detected by screening transthoracic echocardiography of atrial fibrillation (AF). Transesophageal echocardiography revealed dynamic smoke-like echo filling in LA and a cauliflower-like, large (22×16 m...
متن کاملDynamic wind uplift performance of thermoplastic roofing system with new seaming technology
Wind dynamics, on a conventional roofing system, lift the membrane and cause fluttering, introducing stresses at the attachment locations. To identify the component of the system that has the weakest resistance against wind uplift forces, a dynamic method of evaluating roofing systems is beneficial. A recent industry survey predicts significant growth for thermoplastic polyolefin ~TPO! membrane...
متن کاملOptimizing the Layout of 1000 Wind Turbines
In this paper we demonstrate an accurate, efficient, and parallelizable optimization algorithm for the layout of hundreds, then 1000, turbines. It is modular and therefore allows different wake effect models to be incorporated. Its computational cost is a relation which depends upon how many candidate layouts it investigates and the complexity of its wake loss calculation. We demonstrate how we...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Wind Loads on a Hemicylindrical Roof Building
The flow field over a three dimensional pole barn characterized by a cylindrical roof has been numerically investigated. Wind pressure and viscous loads acting on the agricultural building have been analyzed for several incoming wind directions, so as to evaluate the most critical load condition on the structure. A constant wind velocity profile, based on the maximum reference wind speed in the...
متن کاملFull-scale validation of vortex suppression techniques for mitigation of roof uplift
Widespread damage to roofs in hurricanes and other high wind events has highlighted the need for improving the wind performance of roofs, including both new construction and retrofit on existing buildings. Effective and economical methods to mitigate wind effects on roof components are sought to reduce accumulated losses from frequently recurring lowand moderate-intensity events. An experimenta...
