The time-to-frequency-domain conversion is often required in many applications of the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. This paper presents a new FDTD time-to-frequencydomain conversion algorithm based on the optimization of nonuniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) with several redundancy-reduction techniques. The proposed algorithm can perform the FDTD conversion at multiple desire...

This paper presents an unconditionally stable leapfrog alternating-direction-implicit finite-difference time-domain (ADIFDTD) method for lossy media. Conductivity terms of lossy media are incorporated into the leapfrog ADI-FDTD method in an analogous manner as the conventional explicit FDTD method since the leapfrog ADI-FDTD method is a perturbation of the conventional explicit FDTD method. Imp...

Traditional finite difference time domain (FDTD) is classic numerical method for solving wave propagation problems such as electromagnetic wave, seismic wave and acoustic wave. As for airborne GPR simulation, modeling space is so large that memory consuming is pretty huge; on the other hand, the area between source antenna and ground surface is homogenous medium – air, where analytic solution c...

BACKGROUND Resistance developed by leukemic cells, unsatisfactory efficacy on patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) at accelerated and blastic phases, and potential cardiotoxity, have been limitations for imatinib mesylate (IM) in treating CML. Whether low dose IM in combination with agents of distinct but related mechanisms could be one of the strategies to overcome these concerns warra...

Branchio-oto-renal syndrome, a phenotype consisting of hearing loss, auricular malformations, branchial arch remnants, and renal anomalies is now recognized as one of the more common forms of autosomal dominant syndromic hearing impairment. Three loci known to be associated with the BOR phenotype have been identified and two genes that act in a regulatory network have been cloned, EYA1 and SIX1...

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2-cycled neoadjuvant sunitinib therapy (NST) in patients with inoperable metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Between 2009 and 2012, 14 patients with inoperable mRCC from 5 Korean academic centers were prospectively enrolled after collecting their clinicopathological data and completing health-related questionnaires. The ...

Aim: To evaluate the effect of bi-jaw premolar extractions on Bolton tooth size discrepancy in patients of Indian origin, all of which exhibited a bilateral Angle’s class I molar relationship. Materials and methods: Ninety sets of pretreatment study casts, which constituted the sample for the study, were divided into three groups, namely, Bolton small (BS), Bolton normal (BN), and Bolton big (B...

The lumped network alternating direction implicit finite difference time domain (LN-ADI-FDTD) technique is proposed as an extension of the conventional ADI-FDTD method in this paper, which allows the lumped networks to be inserted into some ADI-FDTD cells. Based on the piecewise linear recursive convolution (PLRC) technique, the current expression of the loaded place can be obtained. Then, subs...
