Rapid evaluation of the Faddeyeva function, also known as complex probability is essential to many spectroscopic and stellar applications. Humlíček’s W4 Algorithm widely used in literature for rapid marginally accurate function (~10-4). However, reported literature, algorithm lose its claimed accuracy near x-axis. In this paper, we present a simple reform treating problem loss-of-acc...

PURPOSE To assess the ability to detect the neural canal opening (NCO) and its characteristics within three-dimensional (3-D) histomorphometric and 3-D spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) reconstructions of the optic nerve head from nonhuman primate (NHP) eyes. METHODS NCO was delineated within 40 radial, sagittal sections of 3-D histomorphometric reconstructions of 44 norma...

We perform a three-dimensional multi-probe analysis of the rich galaxy cluster A1689, one of the most powerful known lenses on the sky, by combining improved weak-lensing data from new wide-field BV RCiz Subaru/Suprime-Cam observations with strong-lensing, X-ray, and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (SZE) data sets. We reconstruct the projected matter distribution from a joint weak-lensing analysis of...

conclusions penetrating trauma from wooden fragments provides a diagnostic challenge. a stubborn discharge from a wound must always raise the suspicion of retained fragment. early and appropriate surgical exploration is imperative. introduction in contrast with victims of major trauma, patients who suffer minor injuries receive little specialist input. in most cases, this causes no difficulty, ...

introduction and objective: zinc as the second trace element of the human body plays an important role in numerous functions. a large number of research studies have showed serum zinc deficiency and excess urinary excretion in patients with major beta thalassemia, but few studies revealed excess urinary zinc excretion in minor beta thalassemia and no study investigated serum zinc levels in this...

Massive black hole binary coalescences are prime targets for space-based gravitational wave (GW) observatories such as LISA. GW measurements can localize the position of a coalescing binary on the sky to an ellipse with a major axis of a few tens of arcminutes to a few degrees, depending on source redshift, and a minor axis which is 2 − 4 times smaller. Neglecting weak gravitational lensing, th...

Fifteen chronically instrumented, conscious dogs were studied to determine whether, in the intact circulation, mechanical interactions dictated by the anatomic contiguity of the two ventricles significantly alter left ventricular (LV) dynamic geometry and systolic function during acute right ventricular (RV) hypertension. The three-dimensional geometry of the left ventricle was monitored with t...

To determine whether regional wall motion abnormalities exist or contribute to left ventricular dysfunction, we obtained two-dimensional echocardiograms in 12 athletes before (baseline), immediately after (race finish), and 1 day after (recovery) the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon (a 3.9-km swimming, 180.2-km bicycling, and 42.2-km running event). Left ventricular short-axis and apical four-chamber v...

The Turing reaction-diffusion model explains how identical cells can self-organize to form spatial patterns. It has been suggested that extracellular signaling molecules with different diffusion coefficients underlie this model, but the contribution of cell-autonomous signaling components is largely unknown. We developed an automated mathematical analysis to derive a catalog of realistic Turing...
