bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma with subcutaneous chest wall metastasis is a very rare presentation. a case of 36- year-old male with metastatic subcutaneous chest nodule of bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology, is reported here. cutaneous metastases are of diagnostic importance because they may be the first manifestation of an undiscovered internal malignan...

the yankee is an american national phenomenon. he had leapt into national stature when slipped outside of his local character. a myth was woven around him and a cult of the yankee developed by the permeation of the yankee characteristics in many different characters who played tricks or told stories and entertained their audiences. the present article is an attempt to observe the yankee myth, i...

endometriosis is defined as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. endometriosis can sometimes occur in a previous surgical scar. scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. it mostly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. this condition is often confused with other surgical conditions. we are reporting one case of scar endometriosis invol...

introduction: based on the invasive studies it has been shown that factors such as age, the progress of eye disorders, lens fibers compression and the biochemical changes of ocular matrix alter the physical characteristics and elastic properties of eye. in this study, a noninvasive method of estimating human eye elasticityis proposed and its relation with age and gender is evaluated using ultra...

A novel CFS composite wall filled with cement-based lightweight polymer material (CFS-CLPM wall) has been proposed and proven to have excellent architectural mechanical performance. To promote its application in prefabricated concrete (PC) frame structures, two full-scale specimens were designed tested under cyclic loading investigate the failure mode, hysteretic response energy dissipation of ...

OBJECTIVE Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is believed to occur when the local mechanical stress exceeds the local mechanical strength of the wall tissue. On the basis of this hypothesis, the knowledge of the stress acting on the wall of an unruptured aneurysm could be useful in determining the risk of rupture. The role of asymmetry has previously been identified in idealized AAA models ...

Exterior wall returns affect the accuracy and fidelity of the imaged scene in urban sensing and through-the-wall radar imaging applications. For reliable imaging of stationary indoor scenes, the front wall reflections need to be properly attenuated. In this chapter, wall mitigations are addressed in the context of compressive sensing for stepped-frequency radar operation. Wall mitigation scheme...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE At present, the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of peripheral solitary pulmonary lesions is a hot-spot in researches of thoracic imageology, and bronchial changes is the morphologic basis of peripheral solitary pulmonary nodules, especially peripheral lung cancer. This study was to investigate the value of multi-slice CT (MSCT) in evaluating bronchial changes of peri...

SAC9 is a putative phosphoinositide phosphatase in Arabidopsis thaliana involved in phosphoinositide signaling. sac9-1 plants have a constitutively stressed phenotype with shorter roots which notably accumulate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and its hydrolysis product inositol trisphosphate. We investigated the primary roots of sac9-1 seedlings at the cytological and ultrastructural leve...

A recently developed mixing length model of the turbulent shearing stress in wall bounded flows has been used to formulate a universal velocity profile (UVP) that provides an effective replacement for widely Coles wall-wake formulation. Comparisons with both direct numerical simulation and experimental data demonstrate ability approximate wide variety wall-bounded flows. The UVP is uniformly va...
