Most Irish traditional folk dance music contains two musical themes; the tune begins with one musical theme which is usually repeated, then progresses to another theme with similar musical structure and motives, which is usually also repeated. The first section is typically called the A section while the second is called the B section. Our goal is to understand, at a quantitative level, the mus...

The leaf growth and cross-sectional area of durum wheat during its development may be reduced under salt stress due to vascular architecture alterations of leaves. A hydroponic experiment was conducted to compare growth rate and vascular architecture changes of two durum wheat cultivars including Shabrang and Yavaroos under 0 and 100 mM NaCl. Plants were sampled at the three-leaf stage growth. ...

Detection of stent struts imaged in vivo by optical coherence tomography (OCT) after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and quantification of in-stent neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) are important. In this paper, we present a new computational method to facilitate the physician in this endeavor to assess and compare new (drug-eluting) stents. We developed a new algorithm for stent strut det...

In one dimensional codes, a cross section area variation versus the duct length can produce important mass conservation errors when the gas-dynamic through the ducts of an internal combustion engine (ICE) is modelled. The CE-SE scheme (Conservation Element-Solution Element) is a numerical method that combines accuracy and speed in constant section ducts, but it presents a lack in mass conservat...

The absorption and emission problems of the brane-localized and bulk scalarsare examined when the spacetime is a (4+n)-dimensional Reissner-Nordströmblack hole. Making use of an appropriate analytic continuation, we computethe absorption and emission spectra in the full range of particle’s energy. Forthe case of the brane-localized scalar the presence of the nonzero inner ho...

AIM The aim of this study was to try to find parametric ratios for the diagnosis and pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome using MR. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dominant side wrist MRI examinations of 27 female carpal tunnel patients and 21 normal females were compared. The carpal tunnel contents area / carpal tunnel cross section area ratio was defined, analysed and discussed with the literatur...

The purpose of this anatomical study was to explore the morphological variations of the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons in length and cross-section and the statistical relationship between length, cross-section, and body height. We studied the legs of 93 humans in 136 cadavers. In 43 specimens (46.2%) it was possible to harvest the tendons from both legs. We found considerable differences i...

Akbari). This paper outlines a novel approximate model for determining the pressure drop of laminar, singlephase flow in slowly-varying microchannels of arbitrary cross-section based on the solu...

In this paper, we first construct a model for free surface flows that takes into account the air entrainment by a system of four partial differential equations. We derive it by taking averaged values of gas and fluid velocities on the cross surface flow in the Euler equations (incompressible for the fluid and compressible for the gas). The obtained system is conditionally hyperbolic. Then, we p...

The prism of the Lignano tidal inlet was approximately constant over last forty years, although section width has halved. This led to questions concerning factors that most influence prism, and on applicability well-known A–P relationship. A conceptual scheme sea–channel–lagoon system been used perform a sensitivity analysis different parameters characterize both basin cross-section. 2D hydrody...
