We present an alternative framework for designing efficient numerical schemes for nonconservative hyperbolic systems. This approach is based on the design of entropy conservative discretizations and suitable numerical diffusion operators that mimic the effect of underlying viscous mechanisms. This approach is illustrated by considering two model non-conservative systems: Lagrangian gas dynamics...

this prospective study, conducted in 8 cities of iran from 1999 to 2000. out of total 16,573 trauma patients, 106 (0.63%) included in this study had renal injury. this study aimed at investigation of incidence, etiology and management of renal trauma patients in iran. they were 87 (82.1%) male and 19 (17.9%) female patients. renal trauma mechanism was mainly blunt injury (93.4%). road traffic c...

Abstract Introduction There is a trend toward more conservative management of solitary micropapillary thyroid carcinomas (mPTC). Incidental findings multifocal mPTC are regular subject discussion at multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings, however, guidance on its limited. Methods All patients discussed the West Scotland Thyroid Cancer MDT between November 2008 and July 2020 with (10mm or less) f...
