we present a 23-year-old man with distal humerus osteoid osteoma referring to our hospital with pain and progressive stiffness. the patient has been suffering from the disease for two years without a certain diagnosis. the radiographies of elbow did not reveal the pathology but further ct scan and mri studies demonstrated the tumor. the en block resection of the tumor resolved the pain immediat...

introduction: children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have problem in sustain attention that is necessary for learning. the purpose of present study is comparing explicit and implicit memory in children with attention deficit disorder and typically developing children. material and methods: in present cross sectional study, fifteen children with attention deficit disorder compare...

Abstract What limits the value of superconducting transition temperature ( T c ) is a question great fundamental and practical importance. Various heuristic upper bounds on have been proposed, expressed as fractions Fermi temperature, F , zero-temperature superfluid stiffness, ? s (0), or characteristic Debye frequency, ? 0 . We show that while these are physically motivated certainly useful in...

in this paper, evaluation of torsional stiffness in beam and slab bridge deck elements is presented. a beam and slab bridge decks structurally behave as a grillage. a grillage has an efficient transverse load distribution due to transverse asymmetric load. in the case of bridge deck without transverse beams in the span, transverse load distribution depends on the torsional stiffness of longitud...

Motor-driven intracellular transport is a complex phenomenon where multiple motor proteins simultaneously attached on to a cargo engage in pulling activity, often leading to tug-of-war, displaying bidirectional motion. However, most mathematical and computational models ignore the details of the motor-cargo interaction. A few studies have focused on more realistic models of cargo transport by i...

Abstract: Electromechanical coupling defines the ratio of electrical and mechanical energy exchanged during a flexure cycle of a piezoelectric actuator. This paper presents an analysis of the dynamic electromechanical coupling factor (dynamic EMCF) for cantilever based piezoelectric actuators and provides for the first time explicit expressions for calculation of dynamic EMCF based on arrangeme...

conclusions the pattern of longitudinally increased liver stiffness measurements efficiently supported clinical decisions for individualized management strategies. repeated transient elastography in real-life clinical practice appears to have a practical role in monitoring liver transplanted patients. background liver transplanted patients need close surveillance for early signs of graft diseas...
