this paper presents a simple yet powerful original approach for approximating dispersivity in porous media. the key to this approach is both use of least-squares criterion and image processing technique. two dimensional transparent models, including horizontal and vertical configurations, under different combinations of grain sizes and pore velocities, experimented. concentration data were obta...

conclusions according to our multimodality imaging approach, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was the most probable diagnosis. case presentation we describe a 73-year-old woman referred to us for consultation because of a giant negative t wave on her electrocardiography. echocardiography revealed diffuse severe hypertrophy associated with hypertrophied anterolateral papillary muscles with a bifid he...

The aim of this study is to determine the influence of trauma on the neurologic course in patients who have undergone surgery for cervical OPLL. Methods P...
