background: we sought to assess right ventricular (rv) systolic and diastolic functions via tissue doppler imaging (tdi) in order to discriminate right-to-left (bidirectional) from left-to-right intracardiac shunts. methods: a tissue doppler velocity study via doppler echocardiography was performed in 20 patients with left-to-right shunt (without evidence of significant pulmonary hypertension) ...

Objective- to determine the range of systolic times intervals using Pulsed-wave Doppler and m-mode echocardiography in normal, healthy Great Dane dogs. Design- Descriptive study. Animals- Thirty healthy Great Dane dogs. Procedures- This study examined 30 clinically healthy Great Dane dogs by the twodimensional, M-mode and Pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography. The dogs were awake and unsedated. ...

The present study is concerned with the variational principle and plane wave propagation in double porous thermoelastic infinite medium. Lord-Shulman theory [2] of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time has been used to investigate the problem. It is found that for two dimensional model, there exists four coupled longitudinal waves namely longitudinal wave (P), longitudinal thermal wave (T),...

inverse problem is one of the most important problems in geophysics as model parameters can be estimated from the measured data directly using inverse techniques. in this paper, applying different inverse methods on integration of s-wave and gpr velocities are investigated for estimation of porosity and water saturation. a combination of linear and nonlinear inverse problems are solved. linear ...

the existing theory for wave propagation through a soil layer are not compatible with the real soil layers because in the theory the layers are flat and the sub-layers are parallel, while in real the soil layers are not flat and they may not be parallel. thus, wave propagations through a corrugated interface are so important. in this paper, a two-dimensional sh-wave propagation through a corrug...

A systematic study on the electrochemical behavior of the S-derivatives of 2-amino cyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid (ACDA) has been carried out in aqueous ethanolic solutions by means of polarography, coulometry and voltammetry. All the compounds studied exhibited a well defined anodic wave corresponding to a diffusion controlled process. Controlled potential coulometry gave n=1 per mol...
