Scattering of electromagnetic (EM) waves by one and many small (ka 1) impedance particles Dm of an arbitrary shape, embedded in a homogeneous medium, is studied. Analytic formula for the field, scattered by one particle, is derived. The scattered field is of the order O(a2−κ), where κ ∈ [0, 1) is a number. This field is much larger than in the Rayleigh-type scattering. An equation is derived fo...

background: health-related quality of life is affected by electromagnetic field exposure in each person everyday life. however, this is extremely controversial issue. objective: investigation of the associations between electromagnetic field exposure and miscarriage among women of tehran. materials and methods: in this longitudinal study, 462 pregnant women with gestational age <12 wks from sev...

MOTIVATION Analysis of genome-wide microarray data requires the estimation of a large number of genetic parameters for individual genes and their interaction expression patterns under multiple biological conditions. The sources of microarray error variability comprises various biological and experimental factors, such as biological and individual replication, sample preparation, hybridization a...

PURPOSE To evaluate the occurrence and time course of hem- and lymphangiogenesis after normal-risk corneal transplantation in the mouse model and to test whether pharmacologic strategies inhibiting both processes improve long-term graft survival. METHODS Normal-risk allogeneic (C57BL/6 to BALB/c) and syngeneic (BALB/c to BALB/c) corneal transplantations were performed and occurrence and time ...

BACKGROUND Hem-o-lok clips are widely used during robot-assisted and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy to control the lateral pedicles. There are a few reports of hem-o-lok clip migration into the bladder or vesico-urethral anastomosis and only four cases of hem-o-lok clip migration resulting into bladder neck contracture. Herein, we describe the first case, to our knowledge, of hem-o-lok clip...

Many two-dimensional incompressible inviscid vortex flows can be simulated with high efficiency by means of the contour dynamics method. Several applications require the use of a hierarchical-element method (HEM), a modified version of the classical contour dynamics scheme by applying a fast multipole method, in order to accelerate the computations substantially. The HEM can be used, for exampl...

We seek to understand and utilize environmental and deliberately produced electromagnetic (EM) signals in the coastal ocean. Our studies are undertaken to provide a means for communicating with and guiding autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and other autonomous sensor systems, such as moored instruments. We include various EM influences in our models such as environmental noise , seabed electr...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hem-o-lok clips are safe and reliable for controlling the renal vasculature. We retrospectively evaluated the CT appearance of Hem-o-lok clips in patients who had undergone laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) or nephroureterectomy (LRU) as well as their appearance on ex vivo CT scans. METHODS Between January 2006 and December 2006, 19 patients underwent LRN or LR...
