Spontaneous peri-renal hemorrhage (SPH) was first described in 1856 by Carl Wünderlich, a German physician, who identified a non-traumatic renal hemorrhage confined to the subcapsular and peri-renal space [1]. Most of the time, the clinical symptoms of SPH are nonspecific (flank pain and/or abdominal mass), necessitating imaging studies. The overall sensitivity of CT scans in detection of SPH c...

In a companion paper (Laibe & Price 2011b), we have presented an algorithm for simulating two-fluid gas and dust mixtures in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). In this paper, we develop an implicit timestepping method that preserves the exact conservation of the both linear and angular momentum in the underlying SPH algorithm, but unlike previous schemes, allows the iterations to converge t...

The work, results, and thoughts of Andrija Štampar are recognized globally as a public health heritage (1). They encompass the vision of health as a state of overall well-being, society as the key responsible health care provider, and a set of values and guiding principles underlining the importance of optimal health. The reasons behind their adoption worldwide lie in the success of public heal...

PERSONAL STATEMENT 1. Overview My definition of scholarship follows that espoused by the late Ernest Boyer, American educator and president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching: " The scholarship of engagement means connecting the rich resources of the university to our most pressing social, civic, and ethical problems, to our children, to our schools, to our teachers and ...

This paper presents the first method for isosurface extraction from smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) data that is exact with respect to the functional representation provided by SPH. The Marching Correctors algorithm is an extension of the Marching Cubes algorithm which is adapted to the SPH representation and avoids resampling to a full grid. The algorithm operates on a virtual grid of su...

Over a century has passed since slavery was abolished in Brazil, yet quilombola communities remain socially vulnerable, especially when it comes to health. The goal of this study was to understand self-perceived health (SPH) in quilombola communities in Northern Minas Gerais, and the factors associated with their negative -perceived their own health. A household survey of a representative sampl...

on SPH to simulate three-dimensional invasion of nonwetting and wetting fluids in fracture apertures with Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) models were used to complex geometries. Such complex processes are very simulate unsaturated flow in fractures with complex geometries. The SPH is a fully Lagrangian particle-based method that allows the dydifficult to model with traditional grid-based ...

In this paper, a 3D Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulator for modeling grain scale fluid flow in porous rock is presented. The versatility of the SPH method has driven its use in increasingly complex areas of flow analysis, including flows related to porous rock for both groundwater and petroleum reservoir research. Previous approaches to such problems using SPH have involved the use of...

Modulation of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) activity by sphingomyelin (SPH), ceramide (Cer), and cholesterol (Chol) was investigated in CHO-2B cells activated by the calcium ionophore A23187 and epinephrine. Chol depletion of CHO-2B cells by treatment with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (5 mm) resulted in the inhibition of the release of arachidonic acid whereas the restoration of the level ...
