Development of a Low Cost and Safe PIV for Mean Flow Velocity and Reynolds Stress Measurements
In this study, a white light particle image velocimetry (WL PIV) system which employs a light sheet generated with a flash was used. The system was developed in order to provide a cost-efficient and safe alternative to laser systems while keeping the accuracy limits required for hydraulic model tests. To investigate the accuracy of WL PIV method under different flow conditions, experiments were...
متن کاملShould prostate-specific antigen velocity be abandoned?
P rostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the most widely used biomarker for prostate cancer, but may also be elevated in nonmalignant conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia. Studies in the early 1990s suggested that rapid increases in PSA over time—a concept known as PSA velocity (PSAV)—may be useful to distinguish prostate cancer from the generally slower rise in PSA that may be seen in be...
متن کاملStaphylococcus lugdunensis; a pathogen that should be considered in Iran
Background: Staphylococcus lugdunensis is Gram-positive cocci of the staphylococcaceae family. S. lugdunensis despite having a clotting factor (wall coagulase), was classified in the coagulase negative staphylococcus group (CoNS) for lack of free coagulase. Although this bacterium is part of the human normal flora, in terms of virulence, S. lugdunensis is in second place after S. aureus. S. lug...
متن کاملFlow velocity and predictors of a suboptimal coronary flow velocity reserve after coronary balloon angioplasty.
AIMS This study was conducted to analyse flow velocity parameters and predictors of a suboptimal coronary flow reserve (<2.5) following balloon angioplasty. METHODS Two hundred and twenty-five patients underwent sequential intracoronary Doppler as part of the DEBATE I study. Of these, 183, with complete angiography and Doppler at the 6-month follow-up, were included. Univariate and multivaria...
متن کاملCoronary flow velocity and coronary flow velocity reserve in children with ventricular septal defect.
To assess coronary flow characteristics in congenital heart defect with left ventricular (LV) volume overload, we examined 24 children (mean 12.1 +/- 7.1 months) with ventricular septal defect. The pulmonary to systemic flow ratio ranged from 1.1 to 3.0. Control group consisted of 10 age-matched children who had a history of Kawasaki disease with angiographically normal coronary artery in the a...
