Longwave oscillatory Marangoni convection in a planar binary liquid layer is studied. Finite-amplitude regimes with perturbations of temperature and solute concentration of order unity are considered. Both thermocapillary and solutocapillary effects are taken into account. Oneand two-dimensional patterns on a rhombic lattice are studied and their stability to the perturbations which do not nece...

multi-dimensional representation and analysis because of the unique relationships between the vertical and horizontal distributions of excavated materials and their spatio-temporal distribution. Until very recently, however, archaeologists have predominantly applied only two-dimensional (2D) forms of representation to understand the complex spatial distribution of archaeological materials. Curr...

A system for analyzing left ventricular (LV) electromechanical asynchrony based on transesophageal 3-dimensional echocardiography (3-DE) and semi-automatic endocardial contour detection is described. Eighteen consecutive patients underwent 3-DE. Using TomTec 4DLV software, a 3-dimensional endocardial surface was reconstructed throughout the cardiac cycle. Matlab software generated color-coded p...

Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) have recently applied as imaging techniques to accurately evaluate left atrial (LA) size, anatomy and function. 3DE and off-line quantification softwares, have allowed, in comparison to magnetic resonance imaging, the most time-efficient and accurate method of LA volume quantification. STE provides a non-Dopple...
