The study investigated differences in the Five-Factor Model (FFM) domains and facets across adulthood.

BACKGROUND Modeling neo-aortic valve for arterial switch surgical planning to simulate the neo-aortic valve closure performance. METHODS We created five geometrical models of neo-aortic valve, namely model A, model B, model C, model D and model E with different size of sinotubular junction or sinus. The nodes at the ends of aorta and left ventricle duct fixed all the degrees of freedom. Trans...
