This paper deals with the one-dimensional vertical propagation of linear adiabatic waves in plane atmospheres. In the literature there are various representations of the standard form of the wave equation from which different forms of the so called cut-off frequency are inferred. It is not uncommon that statements concerning the propagation behavior of waves are made which are based on the heig...

The main goal of this research is to provide a more detailed investigation of the size-dependent response of magneto-electro-thermo-elastic (METE) nanobeams subjected to propagating wave, ...

Consider a layer made of a m3m insulator crystal, with faces cut parallel to a symmetry plane. Then bond it onto a semi-infinite mm2 piezoelectric substrate. For a Xor Y -cut of the substrate, a Love wave can propagate in the resulting structure and the corresponding dispersion equation is derived analytically. It turns out that a fully explicit treatment can also be conducted in the case of a ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The cut-off value of diastolic dysfunction by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is affected by aging and modalities used (pulsed-wave vs. color-coded). The purpose of this study was to investigate the diastolic function of healthy elderly people and to determine the appropriate cut-off value of diastolic dysfunction in elderly individuals. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Healthy vol...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between early T-wave inversion after thrombolytic therapy and the likelihood of successful epicardial coronary reperfusion. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thrombolytic therapy was given to 195 patients with ST segment elevation due to acute anterior myocardial infarction (AMI). Coronary angiography was performed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (...

Steep, short-crested waves, as well as a large variety of three-dimensional propagating wave patterns have been created in laboratory, utilizing a plunging half-cone. Monochromatic waves, over a range of frequencies and amplitudes through breaking and including soliton wave groups near resonance, have been observed and studied in a small wave flume. This monochromatic wavemaker creates complex ...
