see through the wall radar, is a relatively new small range radar that uses electromagnetic waves to detect targets behind wall. because of its symmetry, a conducting sphere is often used as a reference scatterer to calibrate radars. in this paper, to simulate received signal for see through the wall radar, scattering model of a conducting sphere in free space is presented. then using a dielect...

BACKGROUND To use cardiovascular magnetic resonance to investigate left ventricular wall thickness and the presence of asymmetrical hypertrophy in young army recruits before and after a period of intense exercise training. METHODS AND RESULTS Using cardiovascular magnetic resonance, the left ventricular wall thickness was measured in all 17 segments and a normal range was calculated for each....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Little attention has been focused on the role of fluid-induced wall shear stress in fully developed cerebral aneurysms. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the alternation and distribution of wall shear stress over 1 cardiac cycle in patients' aneurysms. METHODS A middle cerebral artery aneurysm and a basilar tip aneurysm with localized outpouching (blebs) in their...

The molecular mechanisms underlying cell wall biosynthesis are poorly understood. In this study, microscopic analysis showed that protoplasts generated a new cell wall within 48 h after transfer to a wall-regeneration medium. To identify genes related to cell wall biosynthesis in cotton, suppression subtractive hybridization was used to visualize differential gene expression at seven time point...

Two models based on convolutional neural networks are trained to predict the two-dimensional instantaneous velocity-fluctuation fields at different wall-normal locations in a turbulent open-channel flow, using wall-shear-stress components and wall pressure as inputs. The first model is fully network (FCN) which directly predicts fluctuations, while second one reconstructs flow linear combinatio...

The biosorption mechanisms of different heavy metallic cations (Cd, Ni, Pb) to active chemical groups on the cell wall matrix of the nonliving brown marine macroalga, Sargassum vulgaris in its natural form, were examined by the following instrumental and chemical techniques: Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a...

This paper presents a clump model based on Discrete Element Method. The clump model was more close to the real particle than a spherical particle. Numerical simulations of several tests of dry granular flow impacting a rigid wall flowing in an inclined chute have been achieved. Five clump models with different sphericity have been used in the simulations. By comparing the simulation results wit...

It has previously been proposed that respiratory CO2 released from the embryo in grain legume pods is refixed by a layer of cells on the inner pod wall. In chickpea this refixation process is thought to be of significance to the seed carbon budget, particularly under drought. In this study it is reported that the excised embryo, seed coat, and pod wall in chickpea are all photosynthetically com...

Developing an outer protective layer, namely the cell wall, is critical for growth and survival of the fungal cell in the diverse environments where fungi live. The eukaryotic nature of fungi makes the fungal cell a good model for addressing scientific questions related to the structure and function of this external layer in higher organisms. For decades, fungal cell wall studies relied mostly ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Coil embolization procedures change the flow conditions in the cerebral aneurysm and, therefore, in the near-wall region. Knowledge of these flow changes may be helpful to optimize therapy. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of the coil-packing attenuation on the near-wall flow and its variability due to differences in the coil structure. MATERIALS AND...
