We introduce and analyze the local discontinuous Galerkin method for the Oseen equations of incompressible fluid flow. For a class of shaperegular meshes with hanging nodes, we derive optimal a priori estimates for the errors in the velocity and the pressure in L2and negative-order norms. Numerical experiments are presented which verify these theoretical results and show that the method perform...

Ricci flow, since the debut in the famous original work [4] by R. Hamilton, has been one of the major driving forces for the development of Geometric Analysis in the past decades. Its astonishing power is best demonstrated by the breakthrough in solving Poincaré Conjecture and Geometrization Program. For this amazing story, we refer to [1], [7], [10] and the references therein. Meanwhile, Kähle...

One of the most common manners of unnatural death that has been rapidly increasing in Nepal is suicide. The choice of method depends on the accessibility and availability of the means. Therefore suicide by hanging with the ligature material ranging from torn clothing, bed sheet to a shoelace is incorporated. Objective of this study is to find the choice of the type of ligature material used by ...

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the autopsy findings of deaths due to hanging in the last 25 years in Eskisehir province located in western Anatolia and to share them in the literature. The gender, age, scene of crime, the material used for hanging type and hanging, autopsy findings and toxicological findings were examined using the data of Eskişehir Forensic Medicine Branch Directorate...

During extensive Spanish river macrophyte and invertebrate surveys, the freshwater chlorophyte Ulvella spongophila was detected growing inside sponge Ephydatia fluviatilis attached to stones. This finding is relevant from phy¬cological, biogeographical ecological points of view, second world record species after one single known locality (Lake Manindjau, Sumatra, Malaysia), which collected desc...

A main goal of population geneticists is to study patterns of gene flow to gain a better understanding of the population structure in a given organism. To date most efforts have been focused on studying gene flow at either broad scales to identify barriers to gene flow and isolation by distance or at fine spatial scales in order to gain inferences regarding reproduction and local dispersal. Few...

With an aim of improving bone regeneration, chitosan sponge containing platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) were developed. For fabrication of chitosan sponge, chitosan solution was freeze-dried, crosslinked and freeze-dried again. PDGF-BB was incorporated into the chitosan sponge by soaking chitosan sponge into the PDGF-BB solution. Release kinetics of PDGF-BB, cell attachment, prolifer...

The eyes of a 25-year-old male were collected by the Utah Lions Eye Bank after his suicide by hanging. Following dissection of the corneoscleral buttons from intact globes, bilateral detached Descemet's membranes with subsequent scrolling in the periphery were observed. We believe these findings were caused by a large increase in intraocular pressure secondary to the hanging. Lens and anterior ...

Acute and rapidly reversible left ventricular dysfunction may be triggered by various psychological and physical insults. This entity is now well known as stress cardiomyopathy or Takotsubu cardiomyopathy. Suicidal hanging involves intense emotional outburst and the act of hanging is an extreme physical stress. We report a case of rapidly reversible left ventricular dysfunction following attemp...
