BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Discrepancies exist in the reported prevalence of portal vein thrombosis (PVT), and its clinical characteristics and sites of occurrence need to be elucidated. The risk factors for PVT are also poorly understood. This single centre study was undertaken to determine the clinical characteristics, sites of occurrence, and risk factors associated with PVT in patients with li...

A simple effect one stage ammonia-water absorption cooling system fueled by solar energy is analyzed. The considered system is composed by a parabolic trough collector concentrating solar energy into a tubular receiver for heating water. This is stored in a fully mixed thermal storage tank and used in the vapor generator of the absorption cooling system. Time dependent cooling load is considere...

Abstract: It has been observed that there is sustained bioelectricity in standing trees, which is a potential energy for wireless sensor networks. Manual measurement has been the main approach to obtain data to analyze the mechanism, which is inconvenient and possibly leads to measurement errors. In order to obtain accurate and real-time data, and to avoid human errors, an automatic data collec...

PURPOSE Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) has been considered a relative contraindication for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). However, it is no longer a contraindication of LDLT due to improvement in surgical techniques and approaches to PVT. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of PVT on outcomes in LDLT patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data from 97 adult pat...

This research demonstrates how to develop a novel energy balance equation investigate heat transmission between the components of bifacial photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) air heater with jet plate. The temperature output and efficiency system are shown. A greater mass flow rate reduces exit increases thermal component. Increased sun irradiation raises efficiency. In terms electrical efficiency, PV p...

BACKGROUND Live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for patients with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) creates several technical challenges due to severe pre-operative condition and extensive collaterals. Although deceased donor liver transplantation in patients with PVT is now routinely performed at most centers, the impact of PVT on LDLT outcomes is still controversial. OBJECTIVE To determine th...
