ABSTRACTBackground : In order to quantify effects of ultrasound irradiation parameters under therapeutic condition, especially sonodynamic therapy, it is initially necessary to evaluate inertial cavitation activity in vitro conditions therefore, in this study, the effect of 1 MHz low level ultrasound based on °OH radicals generated by acoustic inertial cavitation in aqueous solution was monit...

PURPOSE To evaluate the correlations between preoperative Scheimpflug-based lens densitometry metrics and phacodynamics. METHODS The Lens Opacities Classification System III (LOCS III) was used to grade nuclear opalescence (NO), along with different methods of lens densitometry evaluation (absolute scale from 0% to 100%): three-dimensional (3D), linear, and region of interest (ROI) modes. Cum...

PURPOSE To compare the amount of ultrasound (US) energy and balanced solution (BS) required for burst mode and pulse mode during bimanual phacoemulsification surgery. METHODS One hundred cases were divided into two groups (the pulse mode Group 1 [50 eyes], the burst mode Group 2 [50 eyes]). One surgeon (M.B.) performed phacoemulsification procedures using topical anesthesia with the AMO Sover...

Tissue Harmonic Echo (THE) imaging is a sonographic technique that potentially provides images of higher quality than can conventional B-mode images. Potential advantages of THE imaging include improved resolution, improved signal-to-noise ratio, and reduced artifacts [1, 2]. Recently, a novel THE imaging performed using an EUS system with a monitor/processing unit (EU-ME2 PREMIER PLUS; Olympus...

Recent observations suggest that neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries rotate within a narrow range of spin frequencies clustered around 300Hz. A proposed explanation for this remarkable fact is that gravitational radiation from a steady-state r-mode oscillation in the neutron star’s core halts the spin-up due to accretion. For the neutron star transients, balancing the time-averaged accreti...

Introduction This work focuses on fast ion transport caused by collective modes and the corresponding evolution of meso-scale fluctuations in burning plasma. More specifically, we analyze these problems in the FAST (Fusion Advanced Studies Torus) [1] H-mode reference scenario, a conceptual design proposal for a EU ITER Satellite tokamak. As explained in [2], FAST approaches dimensionless parame...

We investigate the properties of r-mode and inertial mode of slowly rotating, non-isentropic, Newtonian stars, by taking account of the effects of the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force. The Coriolis force is the dominant restoring force for both r-mode and inertial mode, which are also called rotational mode in this paper. For the velocity field produced by the oscillation modes the r-mo...
