Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) often affects young patients and can result in substantial disability and death. Though mortality rates among patients with CVT have declined, new epidemiological data suggests a higher annual incidence of CVT than previously reported. A diagnosis of CVT is associated with subsequent risk of venous thromboembolism, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of using CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) in Samand automobile.  For this analysis, the conventional Samand and a Samand equipted with CVT are modeled and simulated by using Simulink based software (ADVISOR) and the performances are compared.  This analysis includes the effect of driving cycle, fuel consumption and the efficiency of components of ...

BACKGROUND Cortical vein thrombosis (CVT) receives little attention in adult patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). This study aimed to investigate the clinical and radiological features of adult CVST patients with concomitant CVT. METHODS From May 2009 to May 2016, we recruited 44 adult CVST patients (diagnosed within 1 month of onset; 33.8 ± 14.0 years of age, 28 males). CVT...

BACKGROUND Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) may lead to serious neurological disorders; however, little is known about the risk factors for recurrent CVT. Our aim was to determine the association between elevated fibrinogen and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels with recurrent CVT. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included participants if they had a first epi...

In this article, we consider a weighted CVT-based reduced-order modelling for Burgers equation. Brief review of the CVT (centroidal Voronoi tessellation) approaches to reduced-order bases are provided. In CVT-reduced order modelling, we start with a snapshot set just as is done in a POD (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition)-based setting. So far, the CVT was researched with uniform density (ρ(y) = ...

The continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a type of transmission that can adopt any arbitrary gear ratio. Whereas typical transmissions utilize toothed gears, the CVT employs a sphere in rolling contact with a set of rollers; loads applied to the CVT are supported across these rolling contacts, resulting in microslips of varying amounts at each contact area. In this paper, we describe the...

Cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) is uncommon disease and known risk factors of CVT are hereditary thrombophilia, pregnancy, puerperium, and use of oral contraceptives. However, 25% of all cases are considered to be idiopathic. Thyrotoxicosis may be a predisposing factor of CVT due to a hypercoagulable state. Possible associations between thyrotoxicosis and CVT have been described in several case ...

Continuously variable transmission (CVT) is a type of automatic transmission that can change the gear ratio to any arbitrary setting within the limits. The most common type of CVT operates on a pulley system that allows an infinite variability between highest and lowest gears with no discrete steps. However, the current CVT system with hydraulic actuation method suffers from the power loss. It ...
