The parallel finite element solver, which is based on block L·S·L factoring, where S is a sign diagonal, is presented. The sparse symmetric positive definite and indefinite matrices are considered. Unlike the methods presented in the libraries of high-performance procedures, including PARDISO solver, the proposed approach uses the disk storage, if the dimension of the problem exceeds the capaci...

This work describes a series of patients with odontogenic orbital cellulitis (OOC), focusing on rate of abscess formation, need for surgical intervention, and imaging findings helpful for rapid diagnosis. Review of a current case and 22 patients with OOC from the scientific literature demonstrated periapical lucency as the most commonly (36.4%) reported finding on facial and orbital computerize...

  Objective: The Ortho keratinized Odontogenic Cyst (OOC) is a rare lesion originates from dental lamina and clinically, it may be mistaken for many other odontogenic cysts and Tumors. Microscopically, It should be distinguished from KCOT because of differences in biologic behavior and histologic features.   Case: An interesting case of OOC arising in the edentulous mandibular right first premo...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether overweight and obesity might cause oxidative stress and potential oxidative damage in overweight and obese children, and to explore its possible mechanism. METHODS Eighty-five overweight and obese children (OOC), and eighty-five age-matched healthy children (HC) were recruited in this case-control study. The present study analyzed spectrophotometrically vitami...

Torsin proteins are AAA+ ATPases that localize to the endoplasmic reticular/nuclear envelope (ER/NE) lumen. A mutation that markedly impairs torsinA function causes the CNS disorder DYT1 dystonia. Abnormalities of NE membranes have been linked to torsinA loss of function and the pathogenesis of DYT1 dystonia, leading us to investigate the role of the Caenorhabditis elegans torsinA homologue OOC...

The effect of the phenyl-alkyl connecting group on mesogenic properties of several series of isostructural compounds containing p-carborane (A and B), bicyclo[2.2.2]octane (C), and benzene (D) was investigated using thermal and optical methods. Results demonstrated that mesophase stability in the series containing A-D follows the order (Alk)CH₂CH₂- < (Alk)OOC- < (Alk)CH₂O- < (Alk)COO-. Surprisi...

Optimal (v, 5, 2, 1) optical orthogonal codes (OOC) with v ≤ 104 are classified up to equivalence.

Background: The study investigated the extent of soil arsenic (As) contamination in agricultural plots in Bengal Delta through contaminated groundwater irrigation. Edaphic levels of As and oxidizable organic carbon (OOC) were tested along a depth gradient (0 to 160 ft) in agricultural plots. Methods: Soil samples were collected from surface up to 160 feet depth at every 5 feet. By boreholes dri...

The aim of this study was to estimate normal jitter in voluntarily activated extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and orbicularis oculi (OOc) muscles using a disposable concentric needle electrode (CNE). The EDC of 67 normal subjects (22 males and 45 females, mean age 35.5 +/- 10.2 years) and the OOc of 50 normal subjects (13 males and 37 females, mean age 37.9 +/- 9.6 years) were studied. Jitter ...
