APPEARANCE Appearance: The septal bounce is a paradoxical bouncing motion of the interventricular septum initially directed towards and then away from the left ventricle during early diastole (Fig. 1 and see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, which demonstrates characteristic septal bounce on cine SSFP 4-chamber images, http://links.lww.com/JTI/A16). It is accentuated by deep inspiration an...

We consider a two-component regular cosmology bouncing from contraction to expansion, where, in order to include both scalar fields and perfect fluids as particular cases, the dominant component is allowed to have an intrinsic isocurvature mode. We show that the spectrum of the growing mode of the Bardeen potential in the pre-bounce is never transferred to the dominant mode of the post-bounce. ...

Eastern Screech-Owls (Otus asio) possess a repertoire of two song types, the bounce and the whinny. We examined (1) seasonal variation in the use of these songs in central Kentucky and (2) the responses of male and female screech-owls to the playback of bounce songs. The spontaneous use of bounce songs increased uring February and March, declined in April and May, increased again in June and co...

BACKGROUND The posttreatment prostate-specific antigen (PSA) bounce phenomenon has been recognized in at least 20% of all patients treated with radiation. The purpose of the current report was to determine if there was a difference in biochemical and clinical control between the bounce and nonbounce (NB) patients using pooled data on 4839 patients with T1-2 prostate cancer treated with external...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term prognostic significance of rising PSA levels, particularly focussing on overall survival. METHODS Two hundred ninety-five patients with localized prostate cancer were either treated with low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy with I-125 seeds as monotherapy (n = 94; 145Gy), high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy with Ir-192 as a boost to e...

in this study, we proposed a novel scheme for the implementation of the no-slip boundary condition in thelattice boltzmann method (lbm) . in detail , we have substituted the classical bounce-back idea by the direct immersed boundary specification . in this way we construct the equilibrium density functions in such a way that it feels the no-slip boundaries . therefore , in fact a kind of equili...
