introduction while primary malignant tumors of the heart are rare, angiosarcomas are the most common cardiac malignant tumors. case presentation we describe a 23-year-old woman who presented with a right atrial mass, which was discovered to be a cardiac angiosarcoma. we demonstrate the use of several noninvasive imaging modalities along with pathology confirmation for the definitive and compreh...

nowadays biodiesel is receiving more attention as a most important renewable energy for using in diesel engines. inthis research, the application of response surface methodology (rsm) was highlighted to investigate the effects of biodiesel-diesel blends (b0, b20, b50 and b100), engine operating parameters (engine load and  speed) on co2 emission of a diesel engine. the experiments were conducte...

Emissions to air are reported by countries to EMEP. The emissions data are used for country compliance checking with EU emission ceilings and associated emission reductions. The emissions data are also necessary as input for air quality modelling. The quality of these “official” emissions varies across Europe. As alternative to these official emissions, a spatially explicit high-resolution emis...

In this paper, it was developed annual emission trends of sulfur dioxides(SO2), nitrogen oxides(NOx), carbon monoxide(CO) and volatile organic compounds(VOC) during 1981 2000 period, and analyzed how a Korean economic crisis influenced an air pollution emission trends. This paper documents the methods and data sources that were used to develop the emission trends data and presents a discussion ...

In the transport field, much attention is given to estimation and mitigation of CO2 emission. Much prior research has estimated CO2 emission using aggregate data on total energy consumed or average vehicles kilometres travelled (VKT), while not considering the influence on emission of factors that operate at a more resolved functional level, such as the neighbourhood-scale built environment (e....

We present predicted full-sky maps of submillimeter and microwave emission from the diffuse interstellar dust in the Galaxy. These maps are extrapolated from the 100μm emission and 100/240μm flux ratio maps that Schlegel, Finkbeiner, & Davis (1998; SFD98) generated from IRAS and COBE/DIRBE data. Results are presented for a number of physically plausible emissivity models. The correlation of COB...

Emission computed tomography (emission CT) and conventional planar gamma-camera imaging of the liver were compared in 242 patients with suspected metastatic spread to liver. Concordant data were obtained in 171 patients (71%). Single large lesions, multiple small lesions, and diffuse disease were accurately defined with this new radionuclide tomographic technique. The smallest lesion detected b...
