A Yorkshire terrier (case 1) and a Miniature Schnauzer (case 2) were diagnosed with pylorogastric intussusceptions (PGIs). Both cases showed acute vomiting and had previous histories of laparotomy. In case 1, the invaginated pyloric wall was thickened unevenly containing multiple hypoechoic areas and had indistinct wall layering on ultrasonography. PGI with diffuse gastric edema and necrosis wa...

The surface normal structure of the mercury liquid-vapor interface has been investigated by measuring the x-ray reflectivity out to a momentum transfer of qz ­ 2.5 Å . The results provide direct experimental proof of surface layering in liquid metals. The layer spacing is given by the atomic dimensions of the Hg atoms. The minimum layer width agrees well with the predictions of capillary wave t...

– Dynamics of spreading of viscous non volatile fluid droplets on surfaces is modelled using a solid on solid model, which is studied with Monte Carlo simulations. Tendency for dynamical layering and surface attraction are in part embedded into the effective dynamics of the model. This allows a description of the spreading process with a single parameter, which strongly influences the morpholog...

“Layering” is a visualisation technique that enables basic relationships between software system components to be overlaid with the results of more sophisticated design recovery analyses. Layering can be implemented via a simple presentation tool, to which the results of different analysers can be coupled. Knowledge-based analysis technology can be extended to support Ada83-Ada95 conversion. Ta...

Resolution-based provers for multimodal normal logics require pruning of the search space for a proof in order to deal with the inherent intractability of the satisfiability problem for such logics. We present a clausal modal-layered hyper-resolution calculus for the basic multimodal logic, which divides the clause set according to the modal depth at which clauses occur. We show that the calcul...

Layering of protocols o ers several well known advantages but typically leads to performance ine ciencies We present a model for layering and point out where the performance problems occur in stacks of layers using this model We then investigate the common execution paths in these stacks and how to identify them These paths are optimized using three techniques optimizing the computation compres...

Abstract-Several types of waves in a layered composite material were examined. In order to obtain explicit approximate solutions. a perturbation method was used. This approach views the nonhomogeneous layering as a perturbation on a homogeneous but anisotropic solid. For propagation normal to the direction of layering, it was necessary to include the second-order perturbation terms to get quali...
