We present progress report of a CP-PACS calculation of quenched QCD spectrum with the Wilson quark action. Light hadron masses and meson decay constants are obtained at β =5.9, 6.1, and 6.25 on lattices with a physical extent of 3 fm, and for the range of quark mass corresponding to mπ/mρ ≈ 0.75 − 0.4. Nucleon mass at each β appears to be a convex function of quark mass, and consequently the va...

The CP-PACS computer with a peak speed of 300 GGops was completed in March 1996 and has started to operate. We describe the nal speciication and the hardware implementation of the CP-PACS computer, and its performance for QCD codes. A plan of the grade-up of the computer scheduled for fall of 1996 is also given. 1. CP-PACS project The CP-PACS projectt1] is a ve-year project which formally start...

Large-scale, in-lake enclosures (limnocorrals) were used to simulate spills of diluted bitumen (dilbit) in a boreal lake. In this study we use these simulated spills, which covered range sizes (oil:water ratio) representative the upper 25% onshore crude oil North America (2008–2019), assess fate dilbit-derived hydrocarbons and metals as well impacts on standard water quality parameters. The sys...

Objective. The two-dimensional strain is an objective echocardiographic technique allowing the quantification of myocardial deformation. aim this study was to specify prognostic contribution left atrial in patients with asymptomatic mitral stenosis. Methods. We included consecutive followed for severe or moderately rheumatic Mitral Stenosis (MS), asymptomatic, during period from January 2015 Ju...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main source(s): Swedish Heart-Lung foundation Research Council Introduction Post-acute covid-19 syndrome (PACS) is a novel condition with persistent symptoms affecting different organs. We have previously reported postural orthostatic tachycardia (POTS) as one important long-term complication. The pathophysiologic...

Objective: Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are a prevalent cardiac occurrence. Recent research indicates that PACs linked to fibrillation (AF), ischemic stroke, and mortality. We aimed investigate the association of risk recurrent stroke in patients with sinus rhythm. Methods: The study was conducted as cross-sectional study. 24-hour standard three-lead Holter ECG monitoring performed for ...

Seabirds are widely regarded as an invaluable bioindicator of environmental health. Matrices including eggs and feathers have been used non-lethal means to assess contaminant burdens. We developed a new approach for extraction polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) from seabird plasma serum based on automated microbead-beating homogenization extraction. Commercially available bovine were purposel...
