Sediment Bypass Tunnels (SBTs) are deviant channels that convey the current containing sediments from the upstream of the reservoir to the downstream of the dam. In this research, by applying submerged plates on the entrance of a 90-degree diversion channel for sediment transport, the effect of hydraulic parameters of flow and changes in the angle of plates on sediment transport and deviated fl...

A diagnosis of superior vena cava obstruction (SVCO) generally is made on clinical grounds and can be confirmed by SVCO-specific diagnostic tests. When the obstruction is long-standing, clinical recognition may be compromised as venous drainage of the head, neck, chest, and upper extremity is diverted via collateral venous channels that bypass the obstructed superior vena cava. In such situatio...

This paper addresses the scalability (in terms of the number of nodes) of a packetswitched WDM all-optical bi-directional ring for metropolitan area networks. The nodes enable adding/dropping packets to/from all WDM channels on the ring. The nodes are optically transparent to data packets that bypass them. At a linespeed of 2.5 Gbps using directly modulated DFB lasers separated by 400 GHz, EDFA...

Abstract This paper proposes a new link restoration scheme for optical networks. Our scheme uses dynamic provisioning of bypass routes to effectively utilize bandwidth for restoration. The bypasses are pre-selected but not reserved. Bandwidth is requested in aggregate, resulting in control traffic savings. A unique idea of over-protecting channels on the links for future work savings has been p...

BACKGROUND 3-guanidinopropionic acid derivatives reduce body weight in obese, diabetic mice. We have assessed whether one of these analogues, the aminoguanidine carboxylate BVT.12777, opens KATP channels in rat insulinoma cells, by the same mechanism as leptin. RESULTS BVT.12777 hyperpolarized CRI-G1 rat insulinoma cells by activation of KATP channels. In contrast, BVT.12777 did not activate ...

This project discussed about a brain controlled robot based on Brain–computer interfaces (BCI). BCIs are systems that can bypass conventional channels of communication (i.e., muscles and thoughts) to provide direct communication and control between the human brain and physical devices by translating different patterns of brain activity into commands in real time. With these commands a mobile ro...

In a wide range of industries alternative electronic distribution channels may permit disintermediation of wholesalers and of retailers. In some cases manufacturers or primary service deliverers may be able to deal directly with their customers, while in other industries existing intermediaries may be able to withstand attempts to bypass them. Two illustrative industries — consumer packaged goo...

t a t t Background. Microembolism during cardiopulmonary ypass has been suggested as being the predominant ause of neurocognitive disorders after cardiac surgery. hed blood, normally retransfused into the patient durng cardiopulmonary bypass, is a major source of lipid icroemboli in the brain capillaries. A newly developed echnique based on acoustic standing-wave separation of articles in fluid...

Memory corruption vulnerabilities have resulted in numerous exploits and significant damage to computer systems. ARM Pointer Authentication is a memory mitigation that attempts mitigate these issues by cryptographically signing pointers at runtime. We present PACMAN, novel attack methodology can fo...

The regularized four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet model has been recently proposed in [D. Glavan and C. Lin, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{124}, 081301 (2020)] whose formulation is different of the Einstein theory, allowing us to bypass Lovelock theorem. action formulated higher dimensions ($D>4$) by adding Gauss-Bonnet correction conventional Einstein-Hilbert with a cosmological constant. spac...
