متن کاملIrreversible electroporation: Just another form of thermal therapy?
BACKGROUND Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is (virtually) always called non-thermal despite many reports showing that significant Joule heating occurs. Our first aim is to validate with mathematical simulations that IRE as currently practiced has a non-negligible thermal response. Our second aim is to present a method that allows simple temperature estimation to aid IRE treatment planning. ...
متن کاملYAPI: Yet Another Path Index for XML Searching
As many metadata are encoded in XML, and many digital libraries need to manage XML documents, efficient techniques for searching in such formatted data are required. In order to efficiently process path expressions with wildcards on XML data, a new path index is proposed. Extensive evaluation confirms better performance with respect to other techniques proposed in the literature. An extension o...
