BACKGROUND The Two layer method (TLM) has been extremely successful in the preservation of the pancreas. However, this has not been thoroughly investigated in other organs or in clinically relevant large animal models. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of TLM in a large animal model of kidney preservation. MATERIAL/METHODS Porcine kidneys were retrieved after 10 minutes of warm ...

With the current trend towards multi-core processors and computer grids, parallelism in system simulation is becoming inevitable. Performing multiple tasks concurrently can save both time and money. However, this also puts higher demands on simulation software. This thesis investigates how simulation-based product development can benefit from distributed simulation. One parallelization method i...

The ends of eukaryotic chromosomes are protected by telomeres, nucleoprotein structures that are essential for chromosomal stability and integrity. Understanding how telomere length is controlled has significant medical implications, especially in the fields of aging and cancer. Two recent systematic genome-wide surveys measuring the telomere length of deleted mutants in the yeast Saccharomyces...

Chromatographic separation and detection of nonfluorescent molecules were integrated in a nanochannel. Our method, extended-nano chromatography realized high-performance separation using pressure-driven flow in a 100-nm scale nanochannel. A photothermal detector, differential interference contrast thermal lens microscope (DIC-TLM) was employed for detection of nonfluorescent samples. In particu...

Abstract This paper explores the coupling of the Perfectly Matched Layer technique (PML) with the Thin Layer Method (TLM), the combination of which allows making highly efficient and accurate simulations of layered half-spaces of infinite depth subjected to arbitrary dynamic so...

| This paper describes a novel time-domain node for the TLM method. It has the unique feature of modelling arbitrary inhomogeneous media on a generally graded rectangular TLM mesh without using stubs. Variations in material properties and arbitrary aspect ratios of mesh cells are modelled by allowing diierent characteristic impedances in a cell, maintaining impulse synchronism throughout the me...

Abstract This paper explores the coupling of the Perfectly Matched Layer technique (PML) with the Thin Layer Method (TLM), the combination of which allows making highly efficient and accurate simulations of layered half-spaces of infinite depth subjected to arbitrary dynamic sources anywhere. It is shown that with an appropriate complex stretching of the thickness of the thinlayers, one can ass...

Abstract—In this paper the simulation of ultra wideband microstrip antenna is considered. Because of the ultra wideband characteristics of this antenna, it is better to use time domain simulation methods. In this work we use three dimensional transmission line matrix method (3D-TLM) and EPML-TLM algorithm for modeling PML boundary condition directly applied to TLM algorithm. Finally simulation ...
