An artificial dissipation scheme using the concepts of SLIP and CUSP is implemented on top of a baseline three-dimensional turbomachinery flow code. The original baseline code uses a finite-volume method for the Navier-Stokes equations with classical Jameson-Schmidt-Turkel(JST) scalar dissipation scheme. This paper focuses on the comparison of the performance of the CUSP scheme with the origina...

Objective: To determine the Keros classification and asymmetrical distribution rates of the ethmoid roof and the frequency of anatomic variations of the paranasal sinuses. Materials and Methods: Paranasal sinus scans of 500 patients obtained using computed tomography were evaluated retrospectively. Measurements were performed using a coronal plan with right-left comparison and with distance mea...

Strip clusters of muons and background hits induced by gamma rays and spurious pulses are analyzed for the Forward Region Resistive Plate Chamber of the CMS/LHC. In order to perform the analysis, a real size RE2/1 prototype RPC manufactured with the final baseline design of the Forward Region RPCs was tested at the Gamma Irradiation Facility of CERN. Strip cluster sizes for muons and strip clus...

In many life-testing and reliability studies, the experimenter might not always obtain complete information on failure times for all experimental units. One of the most common censoring schemes is progressive type-II censoring. The aim of this paper is characterizing the parent distributions based on Shannon entropy of progressive type-II censored order statistics. It is shown that the equality...

spinal muscular atrophy (sma) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by homozygous deletion of the survival motor neuron gene 1 (smn1) in more than 90% of patients. according to the age of onset and severity of the disease, sma is classified into three groups: type i (severe), type ii (intermediate) and type iii (mild). as reported, the smn2 gene, centromeric copy gene, showed ...

background: resistin and ghrelin are hormones that have roles in the glucose and lipid homeostasis and weight regulation. human studies regarding resistin and ghrelin in diabetic patients are scarce, especially in the cases of normotensive and non-obese patients. this study was designed to illuminate some of the missing points.methods: eighty diabetic patients and eighty healthy individuals par...

Introduction: Statement of the Problem: Cleaning and shaping are regarded as the most important aspects of root canal therapy and prerequisite for the success of endodontic treatment. Apical transportations can jeopardize the outcome of treatment due to the significant decrease in the sealing ability of root filling material. The purpose of this study was to evaluate transportation in type II c...

Background: Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) is the most common cause of dermatophytosis of skin and nail tissue. Strain identification in Trichophyton rubrum is important for identification of strain-related differences in infectivity potential or transmissibility and epidemiological studies. PCR typing could determine whether the original isolate is responsible for re-infection or a new strain...

The disappearing of electrical resistance below the critical temperature (Tc) is known as superconductivity discovered by Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911. Superconductors are consisted two categories namely type I and II also called soft hard superconductors, respectively. Type superconductors obey Meissner effect while do not. superconducting compounds divided into three categories, (i) Metal based s...
