a spectrum of disease. In a small number of patients, the presence of pulmonic stenosis (congenital or acquired by pulmonary artery banding in infancy), a small ventricular septal defect, or a large atrial septal defect was not protective against the development of severe PVD. The findings of this study demonstrate the need for thorough hemodynamic evaluation of patients with complete transposi...

The propagation of longitudinal acoustic waves in multilayer structures based on porous silicon and the experimental measurement of acoustic transmission for the structures in the gigahertz range are reported and studied theoretically. The considered structures exhibit band gaps in the transmission spectrum and these are localized modes inside the band gap, coming from defect layers introduced ...

The automated defect detection of jacquard fabrics is intuitively appealing to the textile industry but as yet there has been little in-depth research in this field. In this paper, we introduce a defect detection method for use on jacquard fabrics that is based on multiple color-channel analysis. According to the number of color yarns employed, a number of color channels can be extracted from a...

We have studied spectral properties of a cholesteric liquid crystal with a combined defect consisting of a nanocomposite layer and a twist. The nanocomposite layer is made of metallic nanoballs dispersed in a transparent matrix and featuring effective resonant permittivity. A solution has been found for the transmission spectrum of circularly polarized waves in the structure. We have analyzed s...

Infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed CO was used to characterize the dependence of surface structure on deposition temperature during homoepitaxial growth on Cu(100). Intensity borrowing due to dipole coupling greatly enhances the absorption signal due to defect-bonded CO, making it possible to detect and quantify defect concentrations at the level of a few percent. For deposition temperatures bet...

The purpose of this study is to determine the fine spectra of the operator for which the corresponding upper and lower triangular matrices A(r, s, t) and B(r, s, t) are on the sequence spaces c and lp, where (0 < p < 1), respectively. Further, we obtain the approximate point spectrum, defect spectrum and compression spectrum on these spaces. Furthermore, we give the graphical representations of...

The operator A r̃, s̃ on sequence space on p is defined A r̃, s̃ x rkxk skxk 1 ∞ k 0, where x xk ∈ p, and r̃ and s̃ are two convergent sequences of nonzero real numbers satisfying certain conditions, where 1 < p < ∞ . The main purpose of this paper is to determine the fine spectrum with respect to the Goldberg’s classification of the operator A r̃, s̃ defined by a double sequential band matrix over the...

background: the frequency of pyruvate kinase (pk) deficiency, an autosomal recessive defect, is approximately 3 per 10,000 individuals in shiraz and surrounding areas, and is increased due to high consanguinity marriage frequency. the purpose of this study is to obtain data on the frequency and spectrum of gene mutation of pk in newborns, from shiraz and surrounding areas. materials and methods...
