introduction :   co 2 (carbon dioxide) laser application in circumcision, for cutting and coagulation, has been reported to have excellent results. also, tissue glue has been reported to have advantages over sutures for approximation of wound edges. most previous studies focused on comparisons between co 2 laser and scalpel, or between tissue glue and sutures. this study prospectively compared ...

in this paper, a class of semi-implicit two-stage stochastic runge-kutta methods (srks) of strong global order one, with minimum principal error constants are given. these methods are applied to solve itô stochastic differential equations (sdes) with a wiener process. the efficiency of this method with respect to explicit two-stage itô runge-kutta methods (irks), it method, milstien method, sem...

This work studies solution methods for approximating a given tensor by sum of R rank-1 tensors with one or more the latent factors being orthonormal. Such problem arises from applications such as image processing, joint singular value decomposition, and independent component analysis. Most existing algorithms are iterative type, while approximation type limited. By exploring multilinearity orth...

Introduction: Development of higher energy modalities such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), has led to more complex shielding problems. This is due to several factors, such as the radiopharmaceutical relatively high-administered activity, high patient throughput, and high energies of 511 kilo-electron volt (keV) positron annihilation photon...
