To determine whether ischemia in the exercising dog is associated with preservation of subepicardial thickening relative to subendocardial thickening, 10 dogs were chronically instrumented with circumflex artery flow probes, hydraulic occluders, and pairs of ultrasonic microcrystals for determination of wall thickness in the circumflex artery distribution. One pair of crystals spanned the entir...

The single-phase flow and thermal performance of a double pipe heat exchanger are examined by experimental methods. The working fluid is water at atmospheric pressure. Temperature measurements at the inlet and outlet of the two streams and also at an intermediate point half way between the inlet and outlet is made, using copper-constantan thermocouple wires. Mass flow rates for each stream are ...

Laminar mixed convection of Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)–water nanofluid flow in an inclined annulus using a single-phase approach was numerically studied. Constant heat flux boundary conditions were applied on the inner and outer walls. All the thermophysical properties of nanofluid, such as, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficient, except density in the bo...

Iterative processing has been shown to be very effective in multiuser space-time block coding (STBC) systems. The complexity and efficiency of an iterative receiver depend heavily on how the log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) of the coded bits are computed and exchanged at the receiver among its three major components, namely the multiuser detector, the maximum a posterior probability (MAP) demodulat...

CG approximates the largest eigenvalue of a sparse, symmetric, positive definite matrix, using inverse iteration [3]. The matrix is generated by summing outer products of sparse vectors, with a fixed number of nonzero elements in each generating vector. The matrix sizes and total number of nonzero elements (“computed nonzeros,” following [3]) are listed in Table 1. The benchmark computes a give...

We investigate a mechanism for secure remote logging to improve privacy guarantees in dynamic systems. Considering an extended threat model for privacy, we first describe outer and inner privacy: outer privacy expresses the traditional attacker model for privacy where identity management systems control the collection of personal, observable information; inner privacy denotes the threat posed b...

in this work, the effects of as-doped on the adsorption of oxygen gas on the outer and inner surface ofboron nitride nanotube (bnnts) is investigated. the structural parameters, quantum properties involving:bond length, bond angle, homo-lumo orbital, gapenergy, electron affinity, electronegativity, chemicalpotential, global hardness, global softness and nmr parameters of bnnts are calculated at...

this study was aimed to investigate the bending moment and stress (inner and outer corners) in lshaped biscuit joint made of solid wood, particleboard and medium density fiberboard (mdf). for this purpose, l-shaped joints made of beech and fir, particleboard and mdf by biscuit size numbers of 0 (47×15×3.8 mm), 10 (53×19×3.8mm) and 20 (60×23×3.8mm). bending moment and stress carrying capacity of...

Import of precursor proteins into the yeast mitochondrial matrix can occur directly across the inner membrane. First, disruption of the outer membrane restores protein import to mitochondria whose normal import sites have been blocked by an antibody against the outer membrane or by a chimeric, incompletely translocated precursor protein. Second, a potential- and ATP-dependent import of authenti...
