BACKGROUND Definitive diagnosis of bilateral bundle-branch delay/block may be made when catheter-induced right bundle-branch block (RBBB) develops in patients with baseline left bundle-branch (LBB) block. We hypothesized that a RBBB pattern with absent S waves in leads I and aVL will identify bilateral bundle-branch delay/block. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty patients developing transient RBBB pat...

We present results for charmonium correlators and spectral functions in 2-flavour QCD on anisotropic lattices. Our results indicate that the S-waves (J/ψ and η c) survive up to temperatures close to 2T c , while the P-waves (χ c0 and χ c1) melt away below 1.2T c. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.

DESCRIPTION A 62-year-old woman with ischaemic heart disease reported having dyspnoea, chest pain in the left hemithorax, epigastric pain and nausea for 4 weeks. The patient’s blood pressure was 150/90 mmHg and ejection-fraction on echocardiography was 30–35%. An electrocardiogram showed a regular rhythm, with a widened QRS complex in all leads. There were notched R waves in V5, V6, aVL, II, II...

Explicit expressions for restricted partition function W (s,d) and its quasiperiodic components Wj(s,d ) (called Sylvester waves) for a set of positive integers d = {d1, d2, . . . , dm} are derived. The formulas are represented in a form of a finite sum over Bernoulli and Euler polynomials of higher order with periodic coefficients. A novel recursive relation for the Sylvester waves is establis...

Abstract Explicit expressions for restricted partition function W (s, d) and its quasiperiodic components W j (s, dm) (called Sylvester waves) for a set of positive integers dm = {d1, d2, . . . , dm} are derived. The formulas are represented in a form of a finite sum over Bernoulli and Eulerian polynomials of higher order with periodic coefficients. A novel recursive relation for the Sylvester ...

In this paper wave transformation in a submerged sloped breakwater and its hydraulic performance was simulated by developing a numerical model in Fortran. The code was established by combining porous flow and a two-phase model using VOF method. Modified Navier-Stokes and k-ε equations implemented to the model to simulate the flow in porous media. Cut cell method was modified to simulate...

A field trial was conducted to test the existence of subsonic (Vp < 331 m/s) P-waves previously reported in the literature. A 1-m-long reverse profile was acquired with three-component (3C) geophones on a sandy silt (unified classification ML). The silt had a porosity of 54%, a degree of water saturation of 63%, and a plasticity index of 10. No subsonic P-waves were observed, although highfrequ...

The quasilinear scattering mean free path of solar flare electrons and nucleons is calculated for interplanetary plasma wave turbulence consisting of a mixture of slab shear Alfvén waves and isotropic fast magnetosonic waves. It is shown that for well-sampled electron and nucleon mean free paths over a wide and overlapping energy range the underlying frequency power spectra of left-handed and r...

Recent advances in the performance of CCD detectors have enabled a high time resolution study of the high latitude upper thermosphere with Fabry-Perot Interferometers (FPIs) to be performed. 10-s integration times were used during a campaign in April 2004 on an FPI located in northern Sweden in the auroral oval. The FPI is used to study the thermosphere by measuring the oxygen red line emission...

Previous studies (e.g., Satoh et al., 1995a) on inversion of quality factor for S waves, QS, of sediments using surface-to-borehole spectral ratios of seismograms, are mostly based on one-dimensional wave propagation of vertically incident SH waves. In this study a method is proposed for inverting frequency-dependent QS, S-wave velocity VS, P-wave velocity VP and incidence angle by considering ...
