Imaging methods like Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) are based on the principle of propagation of the measured ultrasonic wave field back to field sources. In the case of a pulse-echo measurement, this back propagation under some approximating conditions leads to an image of the scattering object with well known properties and imperfections. The back propagation through the object ...

Abstract The SAFT‐γ Mie model is a recent version of statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT), which uses group contribution approach to obtain high‐quality equation state. In this work, is, for the first time, extended ionic liquids (ILs). calculated values agree well with experimental data one‐component, binary and ternary systems that contain ILs, thus indicating versatility accuracy exte...

Essential oils (EOs) are lipophilic secondary metabolites obtained from plants; terpenoids represent the main components of them. A lot of studies showed neurotoxic actions of EOs. In insects, they cause paralysis followed by death. This feature let us consider components of EOs as potential bioinsecticides. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the one of the most investigated mecha...

BACKGROUND The mechanism for the contribution of eosinophils (EOS) to asthma pathophysiology is not fully understood. Genome-wide expression analysis of airway EOS by microarrays has been limited by the ability to generate high quality RNA from sufficient numbers of airway EOS. OBJECTIVE To identify, by genome-wide expression analyses, a compendium of expressed genes characteristic of airway ...

Introduction: Accurate evaluation of femoral and tibial torsion is essential for children or adult with legs deformity, becuse incorrect legs morphogenesis can lead to pathological situation. CT scan is commonly used for the measurement of skeletal bone parameters. But, disability in imaging from standing and sitting posture and absorb dose of patients are deficits of this meth...

BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with blood eosinophil (EOS) count ≥ 2% benefit from exacerbation reductions with inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs). We conducted post hoc analyses to determine if EOS count ≥ 2% is a marker for greater responsiveness to the bronchodilators umeclidinium (UMEC; long-acting muscarinic antagonist), vilanterol (VI; long-acting β2-agonist)...

We report quantum Monte Carlo QMC , plane-wave density-functional theory DFT , and interatomic pair-potential calculations of the zero-temperature equation of state EOS of solid neon. We find that the DFT EOS depends strongly on the choice of exchange-correlation functional, whereas the QMC EOS is extremely close to both the experimental EOS and the EOS obtained using the best semiempirical pai...

The stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds (SGWBs) from the cosmological first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) serve as a promising probe for new physics beyond standard model of particle physics. When most bubble walls collide with each other long after they had reached terminal wall velocity, dominated contribution to SGWBs comes sound waves characterized by efficiency factor inserting rel...

Eosinophils (EOS) may play an important role in the pathophysiology of bronchial asthma because they can release oxygen free radicals and several basic proteins which are cytotoxic to bronchial epithelium. We have studied the response of EOS isolated from the blood of atopic subjects with symptoms of asthma (AS, n = 7) or rhinitis (AR, n = 4) or without symptoms (AA, n = 5) and of subjects with...
