colloid carcinoma, also called mucinous carcinoma, is classified as a histologic variant of adenocarcinoma. because the colloid carcinoma of the biliary tree is exceedingly rare, the imaging characteristics and the clinical features of colloid carcinoma remain relatively unknown. we report a case of colloid carcinoma of the common bile duct and its accompanied metastatic lymphadenopathies with ...

Recently, we have shown that satisfiability for ECTL∗ with constraints over Z is decidable using a new technique. This approach reduces the satisfiability problem of ECTL∗ with constraints over some structure A (or class of structures) to the problem whether A has a certain model theoretic property that we called EHD (for “existence of homomorphisms is decidable”). Here we apply this approach t...

Rapid development in VLSI Technology anticipates an urgent need for new micro cooling strategies for high heat flux electronic chips. This paper presents a novel high efficiency micropump/evaporator, based on electrohydrodynamic (EHD) forces, high heat flux electronic sensors. The device incorporates a MEMS-based active micro-evaporative surface and temperature sensors into a single package tha...

PURPOSE To evaluate the implant-abutment interface area and the abutment screw loosening value when diamondlike carbon (DLC)-coated or titanium screws were used before and after cyclic loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six implants were divided into four groups according to the type of connection (external hexagon [EH] or internal hexagon [IH]) and the type of abutment screw (with [EHD/IH...

With the development of computer technology, the growing need of large databases emphasizes utmost automation in face recognition system. Labeling a huge number of people is definitely a great overhead for such system. To reduce the burden of manual labeling of faces, in this paper, we propose a PCA based semi-supervised face recognition technique using edge histogram descriptor (EHD) features....

In this study, an optimization methodology is presented to systematically define head-cutter geometry and machine tool settings to introduce optimal tooth modifications in spiral bevel and hypoid gears. The goal of the optimization is to simultaneously minimize the tooth contact pressure and the angular displacement error of the driven gear (the transmission error), to maximize the elastohydrod...

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) techniques refer to procedures that utilize electrostatic forces to fabricate fibers or particles of different shapes with sizes in the nano-range to a few microns through electrically charged fluid jet. Employing different techniques, such as blending, surface modification, and coaxial process, there is a great possibility of incorporating bioactive such molecules as ...

An unusually large number of cases of Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) were observed in United States cattle and white-tailed deer in the summer and fall of 2012. USDA APHIS Veterinary Services area offices were asked to report on foreign animal disease investigations and state diagnostic laboratory submissions which resulted in a diagnosis of EHD based on positive PCR results. EHD was repor...

The purpose of this article was to present a new drying method for agricultural products. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) has been applied for drying of agricultural materials due to several advantages such as energy saving, low cost equipment, low drying temperatures, and superior material quality. To evaluate this method, an EHD dryer based on solar (photovoltaic) energy was designed and fabricated...
