OBJECTIVE We developed a novel method using anatomic markers along the thoracic aorta to accurately quantify longitudinal and circumferential cyclic strain in nondiseased thoracic aortas during the cardiac cycle and to compute age-related changes of the human thoracic aorta. METHODS Changes in thoracic aorta cyclic strains were quantified using cardiac-gated computed tomography image data of ...

The thermal characteristics of seven crystals with [Ni(NCS),(vpy),] (vpy = 4-vinylpyridine) as host were analysed by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). N o preferential guest loss for the clathrates with pairs of guests was observed. The enthalpy of the 'guest release reaction' for each clathrate was obtained from the DTA experiments. Solubility studies ...

In this work, we used a deep model architecture to identify DTA studies pertaining to a given review topic. We were provided the list of relevant documents selected based on abstracts and full text for different reviews topics. We extracted the abstract and title to be used as features to describe those documents, and learned the deep neural net model that takes as input the abstract and title ...

Thermophysical bases of vitrification and crystallization are discussed in terms of the enthalpy versus temperature diagram and its derivative (DTA) illustrating relaxation and glass transformation as well as crystallization of glassy and amorphous states to form stable and metastable phases. Non-isothermal kinetics are thoroughly discussed and the use of one(JMAEK) and two(SB) parameter equati...

Typically, the NDP objective function minimizes the total system travel time (TSTT) subject to the conservation of flow conditions and budget constraint or minimizes the TSTT plus the cost converted to equivalent time unit subject to the conservation of flow conditions. The NDP formulations can be classified according to the following four criteria: (a) system-optimal (SO) or user-optimal (UO) ...

CSLTA is a stochastic temporal logic for continuous-time Markov chains (CTMC), that can verify the probability of following paths specified by a Deterministic Timed Automaton (DTA). A DTA expresses both logic and time constraints over a CTMC path, yielding to a very flexible way of describing performance and dependability properties. This paper explores a model checking algorithm for CSLTA base...

In the field of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA), the use of systematic review and meta-analyses is steadily increasing. By means of objective evaluation of all available primary studies, these two processes generate an evidence-based systematic summary regarding a specific research topic. The methodology for systematic review and meta-analysis in DTA studies differs from that in therapeutic/inte...
