recognition of the natural history and responsible leading factors for regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation are very important. the aim of this study was to assess the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation among uremic patients. in this study 27 uremic patients (18 males and 9 females) with an average age o...

This article presents a unified approach to the abstract notions of partial convolution and involution in $L^p$-function spaces over semi-direct product of locally compact groups. Let $H$ and $K$ be locally compact groups and $tau:Hto Aut(K)$ be a continuous homomorphism.  Let $G_tau=Hltimes_tau K$ be the semi-direct product of $H$ and $K$ with respect to $tau$. We define left and right $tau$-c...

An R-module is called semi-endosimple if it has no proper fully invariant essential submodules. For a quasi-projective retractable module MR we show that M is finitely generated semi-endosimple if and only if the endomorphism ring of M is a finite direct sum of simple rings. For an arbitrary module M , conditions equivalent to the semi-endosimplicity of its quasi-injective hull are found. As co...

The book “The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind” of Julian Jaynes provides, not only a fascinating scenario about the evolution of modern consciousness from the consciousness of bicameral stone age man, but also a holistic view about schizophrenic consciousness. In fact, Jaynes regards schizophrenic as a bicameral man receiving commands of “God” as auditory and visu...

Preface In his beautiful book [54], Jean Petitot proposes a subriemannian model for the primary visual cortex of mammals. This model is neurophysiologically justified. Further developments of this theory lead to efficient algorithms for image reconstruction , based upon the consideration of an associated hypoelliptic diffusion. The subriemannian model of Petitot (or certain of its improvements)...

Methods 30 patients (21 male, 9 female; median age 69.5 years) with diagnosis of TTR amyloidosis (wild-type n=13, hereditary n=17) were evaluated by cardiac MRI (CMR; Achieva Intera Philips Medical Systems, Best, The Netherlands), and Technetium-DPD scintigraphy. EDV, ESV, EF and myocardial mass were analyzed on a standard workstation (Philips Viewforum). Longitudinal function was assessed by m...

Background Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging is increasingly recognized as the gold standard for evaluating left ventricular function (LVF). Measurement of LVF is typically done manually by tracing endocardial and epicardial borders on a stack of short axis (SA) cine images of the heart and is based on the modified Simpson assumption that the left ventricle approximates a spherical shape...

The thermal radiative transfer (TRT) equations form an integro-differential system that describes the propagation and collisional interactions of photons. Computing numerical solutions TRT accurately efficiently is challenging for several reasons, first which defined on a high-dimensional phase space includes independent variables time, space, velocity. In order to reduce dimensionality classic...
