The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has successfully produced images of two supermassive black holes, enabling novel tests holes and their accretion flows on horizon scales. EHT so far published total intensity linear polarization images, while upcoming may include circular polarization, rotation measure, spectral index, each which reveals different aspects the plasma space-time. ne...

We propose a method for the robust implementation of simple graphical automata on an amorphous computer. This infrastructure is applied to the implementation of purely functional programming languages. Specifically, it is used in conjunction with data-flow techniques to implement a toy language homologous to recurrence equations, exploiting control-flow parallelism through parallel operand eval...

INTRODUCTION We aim to elucidate the effect of spatial resolution of three-dimensional cine phase contrast magnetic resonance (3D cine PC MR) imaging on the accuracy of the blood flow analysis, and examine the optimal setting for spatial resolution using flow phantoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS The flow phantom has five types of acrylic pipes that represent human blood vessels (inner diameters: 1...

Biogeosciences Discussions This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Biogeosciences (BG). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in BG if available. Abstract Given the complexity of quantitative collection, knowledge of the distribution of mi-croplastic pollution in many regions of the world ocean is patchy, both spatially and temporally, especially for the subsurfac...

The mechanical property and geometry changes as a result of cardiovascular disease affect both the wall motion and blood flow in the heart and vessels, whereas the latter two are also coupled and therefore continuously influence one another. Simultaneous and registered imaging of both cardiovascular wall motion and blood velocity may thus contribute to more complete computational models of card...

the study of flow in compound channels with vegetated floodplains is essential to assessing the development of the stage-discharge relationship and sediment and pollutant transport. the present study experimentally investigated mean flow and turbulence characteristics in a prismatic compound channel. the experimental program consisted of vegetated and non-vegetated floodplains with different re...
