PURPOSE During the last decades, derivatives and integrals of non-integer orders are being more commonly used for the description of constitutive behavior of various viscoelastic materials including soft biological tissues. Compared to integer order constitutive relations, non-integer order viscoelastic material models of soft biological tissues are capable of capturing a wider range of viscoel...

In this paper, we report our effort of tackling MobileClick2 with the element-based retrieval approach. The goal of element-based retrieval is to identify only relevant descriptions to a query and show them to a user. We believe this is essentially similar to that of MobileClick-2, which is why we employed element-based retrieval approach to this task. The problem is that the output unit of ele...

We examine a number of first order features of Pannonian basin evolution in terms of the feedback relation between passive far-field induced extension and active Raleigh-Taylor instable upwelling of the asthenosphere. We show that active mantle upwelling following a phase of passive extension are viable mechanisms explaining the Pannonian basin formation. The dynamic interplay between far-field...

The article deals with peculiarities of perfume advertisements, in particular, their visual semiotic mode structure and its constituents creating the recognitive features this mode. Constituents-details are recognized as formal elements which bear main significative information. central objects research advertisements create whole structure. All divided into three functional groups according to...

AIM To determine the appropriate timing of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) measurement for the early triage of pulmonary embolism (PE) patients. METHODS In this single-center prospective study, PE was confirmed in all patients using computed tomography. 104 consecutive patients were divided into three groups (high-risk, intermediate, and low-risk) based on their hemodynamic status and echocardiogra...

progressive collapse is a chain reaction of failures propagating throughout a portion of the structure disproportionate to the original local failure occurring when a sudden loss of a critical load‐bearing element initiates a structural element failure, eventually resulting in partial or full collapse of the structure. both general services administration (gsa) and united states department of d...

Long range interactions between texture elements (short, oriented line segments) were examined. Specifically, we studied the influence of a background array of texture elements on the detectability of a target element (separated from the background by an intermediate textured region) using textures like those of Caputo (Vis. Res. 1996, 36, 2815-2826). We found that, in general, when the backgro...

The discrete reliability of a finite element method is a key ingredient to prove optimal convergence of an adaptive mesh-refinement strategy and requires the interchange of a coarse triangulation and some arbitrary refinement of it. One approach for this is the careful design of an intermediate triangulation with one-level refinements and with the remaining difficulty to design some interpolati...
