The weldability of GTD-111 nickel-based superalloy by pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding with an average power of 250 W was studied, and the microstructural evolution and cracking characteristics were also investigated. The solidification cracking of the fusion zone (FZ) and the intergranular liquation cracking in the heat affected zone (HAZ) were observed in the joint. Solidification cracking was cau...

The problem of a monopole mounted near the edge of a wedge or a vertex is considered. Three types of solutions-surface patch modeling, moment method/geometrical theory of diffraction (MM/GTD), and MM/eigenfunction-are presented, discussed, and compared with measurements. Results are in the form of input impedance and radiation patterns.

The human chorionic g...

Masaharu Fukunaga, M.D. Department of Pathology, the Jikei University Daisan Hospital, Tokyo, Japan Hydatidiform moles With the increased use of ultrasound hydatidiform mole (HM) is being diagnosed at increasingly early stages of gestation. As villous edema is not fully developed, we cannot make a diagnosis of HM by macroscopic observation. Furthermore, microscopically the classic features of c...

Gestational trophoblastic disease is a spectrum of placental disorders ranging from benign molar pregnancies to the neoplastic conditions such as invasive mole and choriocarcinoma. These patients are identified early due to markedly elevated hCG levels and characteristic ultrasound findings. Uterine evacuation is the recommended treatment, while chemotherapy can be reserved for patients with re...

This paper discusses development of physics-based models for bistatic scattering. We generalize parametric equations for monostatic scattering mechanisms in a plane to achieve analogous bistatic approximations. Combination of these mechanisms, as separable azimuth and elevation components, allows 3-D modelling of six scattering primitives: sphere, tophat, trihedral, dihedral, cylinder, and flat...

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a pregnancy disorder due to an abnormality of the placenta, such as enlargement chorionic villi. The spectrum GTD may range from benign malignant. Characteristics gestational have been discussed in literature. This study characteristics that resulted previous studies and relationship those disease. results this revealed there were five national referra...
