hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease that is common in the mediterranean region. thoracic wall, rib or extrapulmonary intrathoracic localization of the cysts is very rare. giant extrapulmonary intrathoracic hydatid cysts can lead to both diagnostic and treatment difficulties and can be confused with tumor. we present a case of a hydatid cyst with thoracic wall involvement mimicking tumor. we conf...

Menisci of the truncated and shifted Lennard-Jones fluid between parallel planar walls are investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. Thereby, the characteristic energy of the unlike dispersive interaction between fluid molecules and wall atoms is systematically varied to determine its influence on the contact angle. The temperature is varied as well, covering most of the range between the ...

This paper presents an image database for the Left Atrial Wall Thickness Quantification challenge at the MICCAI STACOM 2016 workshop along with some preliminary results. The image database consists of both CT (n = 10) and MRI (n = 10) datasets. Expert delineations from two observers were obtained for each image in the CT set and a single-observer segmentation was obtained for each image in the ...

Observations of the relationship between linear or planar features on either side of dykes usually form the basis of a field determination of their mode of emplacement, although it is known that sections oblique to planar features may lead to conflicting results. In Eastern Tasmania only rarely are examples encountered where dyke wall-rock units are of use. However, dyke wall irregularities are...

Intracranial vessel wall MR imaging is an adjunct to conventional angiographic imaging with CTA, MRA, or DSA. The technique has multiple potential uses in the context of ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage. There remain gaps in our understanding of intracranial vessel wall MR imaging findings and research is ongoing, but the technique is already used on a clinical basis at many centers....

The work is a study of the patterns jet-cavitation air flows when flowing around high-speed passenger train. On basis theoretical studies, forces resistance (frontal and near-wall) external environment to movement train, influence cavitation currents on near-wall layer, current generated during rolling stock, both as whole each car are determined, flow from solid particles lying underlying surf...

The anti-seepage wall has been widely used in many fields, and the construction technology is also various, such as high-pressure jet impervious wall, continuous grooving of hydraulic slotting machine, mechanical grab wall. Different technologies are applicable to different geological conditions, it often necessary combine or even innovate order continuously improve technical level complete tas...

G. W. Ao, M. G. Shen, Z. S. Zhang, B. L. Li: College of Materials and Metallurgy, University of Science and Technology Liaoning, Anshan City, China Hollow side wall insulation mathematical model of unidirectional solidification temperature field was carried out. With the aid of finite element analysis software ProCAST, directionally solidified ingot temperature field with hollow lateral wall in...

Despite differences in cell wall composition between the type I cell walls of dicots and most monocots and the type II walls of commelinid monocots, all flowering plants respond to the same classes of growth regulators in the same tissue-specific way and exhibit the same growth physics. Substantial progress has been made in defining gene families and identifying mutants in cell wall-related gen...
