ABSTRACT We present 3D radiation-hydrodynamical (RHD) simulations of star cluster formation and evolution in massive, self-gravitating clouds, whose dust columns are optically thick to infrared (IR) photons. use VETTAM – a recently developed, novel RHD algorithm, which uses the Variable Eddington Tensor closure model IR radiation transport through cloud. also realistic temperature (T) dependent...

background: iron-mediated cardiomyopathy is the main complication of thalassemia major (tm) patients. therefore, there is an important clinical need in the early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tissue doppler imaging (tdi) to study cardiac iron overload in patients with tm using t2* magnetic resonance (mr) as the gold-standard...

objectives to investigate the correlation between t2* values of different regions of interest (rois) in myocardium with the means of semi quantitatively estimating the myocardiac iron content in the thalassemia major patients. in the same setting we tried to design a model to predict t2* value of interventricular septum (septum) based on t2* values of other convenient rois in myocardium. method...
