In this paper, we study a generalized version of the Weber problem finding point that minimizes sum its distances to finite number given points. our setting, these may be cut off at value [Formula: see text], and allow for option an empty solution fixed cost text]. We analyze under which circumstances problems can reduced simpler problem, also when definitely have solve more complex with cutoff...

OBJECTIVE Though a number of CT findings of bowel and mesenteric injuries in blunt abdominal trauma are described in literature, no studies on the specific CT signs of a transected bowel have been published. In the present study we describe the incidence and new CT signs of bowel transection in blunt abdominal trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the incidence of bowel transection in...

OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to evaluate whether gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasound can reveal intestinal inflammation in infants with cow's milk allergy (CMA). SUBJECTS AND METHODS This study evaluated the clinical findings and grayscale and color Doppler sonograms of 34 infants. Seventeen 0- to 6-month-old infants with suspected CMA and 17 nonsymptomatic age-matched infants...

Abstract We present a general numerical method for computing precisely the false vacuum decay rate, including the prefactor due to quantum fluctuations about the classical bounce solution, in a selfinteracting scalar field theory modeling the process of nucleation in four dimensional spacetime. This technique does not rely on the thin-wall approximation. The method is based on the GelfandYaglom...

Previously, it has been shown that the direct correlation function for a Lennard-Jones fluid could be modeled by a sum of that for hard-spheres, a mean-field tail, and a simple linear correction in the core region constructed so as to reproduce the (known) bulk equation of state of the fluid [Lutsko, J. Chem. Phys. 127, 054701 (2007)]. Here, this model is combined with ideas from the fundamenta...

The geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) overlap plays a key role in maintaining hydraulic performance of the barrier systems, e.g., bottom and cover systems. However, its influences on behavior vertical have been rarely investigated. This paper aims to address this issue using large-scale model test 3-dimensional finite element (FE) modeling. In test, GCL at width 500 mm was tested under constant hea...
