The article represents the authors’ own observation of patient with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XPN). Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritisis a rare form ofchronic bacterial calculous pyelonephritis. Factors predisposingto thedevelopmentof include following: impairment theurinary flowalong theurinarytract, type II diabetes mellitus, and chronic inflammation kidney. XPN is an uncommon cause...

In this paper, we propose new Euler flux functions for use in a finite-volume Euler/Navier–Stokes code, which are very simple, carbuncle-free, yet have an excellent boundary-layer-resolving capability, by combining two different Riemann solvers into one based on a rotated Riemann solver approach. We show that very economical Euler flux functions can be devised by combining the Roe solver (a ful...

In architecture, the primacy of function over form was one of the core tenets of the Bauhaus School of Design. In Information Systems, function is critical, yet so many systems fail to deliver hoped for benefits. Badly designed, acquired imitatively for their symbolic, magical power, they represent a form of kitsch. To illustrate this, we describe a major national IS initiative in the UK, the V...

A time-accurate, upwind, finite volume method for computing compressible flows on unstructured grids is presented. The method is second order accurate in space and time and yields high resolution in the presence of discontinuities. For efficiency, the Roe approximate Riemann solver with an entropy correction is employed. In the basic Euler/Navier-Stokes scheme, many concepts of high order upwin...

Centered numerical fluxes can be constructed for compressible Euler equations which preserve kinetic energy in the semi-discrete finite volume scheme. The essential feature is that the momentum flux should be of the form f m j+ 1 2 = p̃j+ 1 2 +uj+ 1 2 f ρ j+ 2 where uj+ 2 = (uj+uj+1)/2 and p̃j+ 1 2 , f ρ j+ 1 2 are any consistent approximations to the pressure and the mass flux. This scheme thus ...

This paper investigates solution behaviors under the strong shock interaction for moving mesh schemes based on the one-dimensional HLL-type Riemann solvers. Numerical experiments show that some schemes which updates the flow parameters directly on the moving mesh without using interpolation, may suffer from severe instability such as grid distortion. But the HLL solver can be free from such fai...

Results The mean age of the patients was 30, and they were admitted in the Clinical Hospital for Infectious Diseases “Toma Ciorbă” in July, 2013. The source of infection was represented by cattle, in which the infection was confirmed by bacteriological method. The infection occurred through contact with sick animals during slaughter. The disease was developed after an incubation period, which l...

BACKGROUND The root of Angelica dahurica Bentham et Hooker (Umbelliferae) has been used as a traditional medicine for colds, headache, dizziness, toothache, supraorbital pain, nasal congestion, acne, ulcer, carbuncle, and rheumatism in China, Japan, and Korea. Interestingly, it has been used in the treatment of vascular diseases including hypertension. The aim of this study was to provide pharm...

BACKGROUND Venenum bufonis is the dried white secretion of the auricular and skin glands of Bufo gargarizans Cantor, or Bufo melanostictus Schneider, Bufonidae. It is used in the treatment of deep-rooted carbuncle, boils and swelling; pain in the throat, heart stroke, coma, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. The objective of this paper is to preliminarily observe the effects of ethanol extr...
