We study regular solutions to wave equations with super-critical source terms, e.g., of exponent p > 5 in 3D. Such high-order sources have been a major challenge in the investigation of finite-energy (H1 × L2) solutions to wave PDEs for many years. The well-posedness question has been answered in part, but even the local existence, for instance, in 3 dimensions requires the relation p ≤ 6m/(m +...

Background LGE-MRI is widely used to assess cardiac RF ablation lesions. However, LGE-MRI requires contrast injection and the appearance, dimensions and visibility of lesions in LGE-MRI noticeably change with time after ablation and time after contrast injection. Recently proposed non-contrast T1-weighted (T1w) technique is only applicable to visualize acute (< 3 days) RF lesions. The main goal...

In recent years, the effectiveness of anti-TNF therapy in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has become apparent. While trials of IL-1 receptor antagonist in RA have been encouraging, it clearly is more difficult to target two molecules (IL-1 alpha and beta) than one (TNF-alpha). In his review article, Professor Wim van den Berg argues that both TNF-alpha and IL-1 must be blocked in RA and that...

Accurately determining rock elastic modulus (EM) and uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) using laboratory methods requires considerable time cost. Hence, the development of models for estimating mechanical properties is a very attractive alternative. The current research was conducted to predict UCS EM sandstone rocks quartz%, feldspar%, fragments%, compressional wave velocity (PW), Schmidt har...

This paper presents the results of resistive-open defect insertion in different locations of Infineon 0.13 μm embedded-SRAM with the main purpose of verifying the presence of dynamic faults. This study is based on the injection of resistive defects as their presence in VDSM technologies is more and more frequent. Electrical simulations have been performed to evaluate the effects of those defect...
