total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (tapvc) is an anomaly in which the pulmonary veins are directly connected to one of the systemic veins or drain into the right atrium. management of pulmonary hypertension after the total correction of this congenital cardiac anomaly is very important. unligation of the vertical vein in the supracardiac type of this anomaly can be a draining pathway f...

We report the case of a young girl with a mixed total anomalous pulmonary venous return (cardiac and supracardiac) treated sequentially by partial neonatal surgery, and then catheterization at age 19 with installation of an Amplatzer device as a treatment of the remaining anomaly. We describe the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging in both the diagnosis and follow-up of this anomaly.

-..._ _-On shell two point functions generated due to string loop corrections are shown to give rise to BRST anomaly in the scattering amplitudes in the form of total derivative terms in the moduli space. This anomaly may be cancelled by modifying the vertex operators in a way that precisely corresponds to mass renormalization in the theory.

Abstract The conformal anomaly for 4D gravity-matter theories, which are non-minimally coupled with the dilaton, is systematically studied. Special care is taken for: rescaling of fields, treatment of total derivatives, hermiticity of the system operator and choice of measure. Scalar, spinor and vector fields are taken as the matter quantum fields and their explicit conformal anomalies in the g...

Attenuation-difference, borehole-radar tomography was used to monitor a series of sodium chloride tracer injection tests conducted within the FSE wellfield at the U.S. Geological Survey Fractured-Rock Hydrology Research Site in Grafton County, New Hampshire, USA. Borehole-radar tomography surveys were conducted by using the sequential-scanning and injection method in three boreholes that form a...

Commercial and residential buildings are responsible for a substantial portion of total global energy consumption and as a result make a significant contribution to global carbon emissions. Hence, energy-saving goals that target buildings can have a major impact in reducing environmental damage. During building operation, a significant amount of energy is wasted due to equipment and human-relat...

Detection of anomalies in pipe networks (leaks, blockages, and wall deterioration) is critical for targeted section replacement maintenance water distribution systems. A hydraulic signal-processing approach, termed the paired-impulse response function (paired-IRF), has been previously proposed anomaly detection by transforming persistent principal wave reflections into distinctive paired spikes...

Although resting hemodynamic load has been extensively investigated as a determinant of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, little is known about the relationship between provoked hemodynamic load and the risk of LV hypertrophy. We studied central pressure-flow relations among 40 hypertensive and 19 normotensive adults using carotid applanation tonometry and Doppler echocardiography at rest and ...

The γ-trace anomaly of supersymmetry current in a supersymmetric gauge theory shares a superconformal anomaly multiplet with the chiral R-symmetry anomaly and the Weyl anomaly, and its holographic reproduction is a valuable test to the AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture. We investigate how the γ-trace anomaly of the supersymmetry current of N = 1 four-dimensional su-persymmetric gauge theory in ...
