conclusion the designed split-bolus mdct technique can be proposed alternatively to triphasic mdct and in a single-pass to pvp in the initial staging and in the follow-up respectively in oncologic patients. patients and methods we retrospectively analyzed the follow-up split-bolus 64-detector row ct protocol in 36 oncologic patients to characterize focal liver lesions. the split-bolus mdct prot...

objective: microleakage in the gingival floor of class ii composite restorations can compromise the marginal adaptation of the filling material to the cavity edges. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light conducting cylindrical inserts in decreasing the microleakage of the gingival floor in cavities 1mm below the cej. materials and methods: eighty maxillary first molars were r...

background and objectives:rapid processing of histopathological specimens and decreased turnaround time is important to fulfill the needs of clinicians treating sick patients, so the present study was conducted to compare the time taken and quality of sections in processing of prostatic tissue by rapid microwave and conventional techniques using morphometry.methods: four to five mm thick paired...

1.0 Introduction Imaging Spectrometry data or Hyperspectral Imagery (HSI) acquired using airborne systems have been used in the geologic community since the early 1980’s and represent a mature technology (Goetz et al., 1985; Kruse et al., 1999). The solar spectral range, 0.4 to 2.5 μm, provides abundant information about many important Earth-surface minerals (Clark et al., 1990). In particular,...

We report molecular dynamics simulation results of high-ionic-strength electroosmotic flows inside uncharged nanochannels. The possibility of this unusual electrokinetic phenomenon has been discussed by Dukhin et al. [A. Dukhin, S. Dukhin, P. Goetz, Langmuir 21 (2005) 9990]. Our computed velocity profiles clearly indicate the presence of a net flow with a maximum velocity around 2 m/s. We found...

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies and remains the second leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide (Li et al., 2012). Despite recent advances in medical treatment and surgical techniques, the five-year survival rate for gastric cancer patients unfortunately remains poor. Biological prognostic markers in early stages of gastric cancer would have great clinical value...

layer is not altered by a five-hundred fold change in the surrounding pressure. Further evidence for believing that a condition characteristic of the metal itself has been reached is furnished by the fact that the photoelectric sensitivity of an outgassed specimen remains constant for twelve hours after heat treatment. The work of Davisson and Germer9 on electron reflection from nickel is also ...

MayBMS is a state-of-the-art probabilistic database management system that has been built as an extension of Postgres, an open-source relational database management system. MayBMS follows a principled approach to leveraging the strengths of previous database research for achieving scalability. This article describes the main goals of this project, the design of query and update language, effici...
