patients and methods previously recorded data of 231 patients who underwent surgical closure of vsd between january 2009 and january 2012 at the rajaie cardiovascular medical and research center were retrospectively reviewed. vsd surgical repair was performed using continues suturing technique in group a patients (n = 163, 70.6%) and interrupted suturing technique in group b patients (n = 68, 2...

Objective- To evaluate tail vertebra as an autogenous cortical bone and cancellous bone for filling ulnarsegmental bone defect in dogs.Design- Experimental study.Animals- Eight adult mongrel dogs with an aver age age of 37.S months and average body wei ght of17.62 kg.Procedure- Th e animals were randomly divided into two groups . A bone defect (2.S-cm) was created onthe middle po rtion of the r...

A bstract We study mass-type surface defects in a free scalar and Wilson-Fisher (WF) O ( N ) theories. obtain exact results for the defect, including its RG flow defect Weyl anomaly. classify phases of such at WF fixed point near four dimensions, whose perturbative is investigated. propose an IR effective action non-perturbative regime check self-consistency.

A general framework for the connection between characteristic formulae and behavioral semantics is described in [2]. This approach does not suitably cover semantics defined by nested fixed points, such as the n-nested simulation semantics for n greater than 2. In this study we address this deficiency and give a description of nested fixed points that extends the approach for single fixed points...

Six different functions measuring the defect of a quasi-copula, i. e., how far away it is from a copula, are discussed. This is done by means of extremal non-positive volumes of specific rectangles (in a way that a zero defect characterizes copulas). Based on these defect functions, six transformations of quasi-copulas are investigated which give rise to six different partitions of the set of a...

To evaluate the relationship between the reversible defect of 123I-15-(p-iodophenyl)-9-(R,S)-methylpentadecanoic acid (9MPA) and residual viability within an infarct-related area, we performed resting single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with 9MPA and positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-deoxyglucose (FDG) and 13N-ammonia (NH3) in 7 patients with prior myocardial infarction...

We describe a $p$-dimensional conformal defect of free Dirac fermion on $d$-dimensional flat space as boundary conditions conformally equivalent $\mathbb{H}^{p+1} \times \mathbb{S}^{d-p-1}$. classify allowed and find that the Dirichlet type always exists while Neumann condition only for two-codimensional defect. For defect, double trace deformation triggers renormalization group flow from to co...

Technical Debt (TD) can be paid back either by those that incurred it or others. We call the former self-fixed TD, and particularly effective, as developers are experts in their own code well-suited to fix corresponding TD issues. The goal of our study is investigate technical debt, especially extent which self-fixed, types more likely whether remediation time shorter than non-self-fixed how de...

We report experimental results on the defect turbulent state of undulation chaos in inclined layer convection of a fluid with Prandtl number approximately 1. By measuring defect density and undulation wave number, we find that the onset of undulation chaos coincides with the theoretically predicted onset for stable, stationary undulations. At stronger driving, we observe a competition between o...
