PURPOSE To describe the characteristic CT, MR, and angiographic features of giant serpentine aneurysms and discuss their endovascular treatment. METHODS Thirteen patients with giant serpentine aneurysms were studied at our institution in the last 3 years. They all underwent CT and MR studies as well as cerebral angiography. More recently, some of the patients were studied with MR angiography....

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Serpentine soils provide a highly selective substrate for plant colonization and growth and represent an ideal system for studying the evolution of plant-ecotypes. In the present study the aim was to identify the genetic architecture of morphological traits distinguishing serpentine and non-serpentine ecotypes of Silene vulgaris. METHODS Using an F(2) mapping population de...

geometrical structure, nuclear magnetic resonance (n1,1it) chemical shielding tensors, and chemical shiftsof silicon and carbon nucler are investigated for twn infinite size zigzag and armchair single-walled siliconcarbide nanotabes (sicnts). geometrical structures of sients, sit bonds and bond angles of st and cvertices in both zigzag and armchair nanotubes, indicate that bond lengths are appr...

ultramafic rocks are essentially constituted by silicates of magnesium: forsterite, and/or diopside-enstatite; who’s the most common hydrothermal alteration are the serpentinization. to bou azzer, the serpentinisation affected almost all of the ultrabasic rocks. among the phenomena bound to the serpentinisation observed on the ground, we distinguish the magnesium deposits (carbonated serpentini...

the reaction mechanism between (h2c) and (7, 0), zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes(zswcnts) on two different orientation of c-c have been studied by semi empirical am!method. the activation barriers of (h2c) adding to (7, 0) zswcnt are computed and compared.the effects of diameters of zigzag swcnt on their binding energies were studied

In this paper we introduce a new class of facet-inducing inequalities for the Windy Rural Postman Problem and the Windy General Routing Problem. These inequalities are called Zigzag inequalities because they cut off fractional solutions containing a zigzag associated with variables with 0.5 value. Two different types of inequalities, the Odd Zigzag and the Even Zigzag inequalities, are presente...

In [2], the concept of zigzag function was introduced in relation with oblivious transfer [17]. This subject has later been studied in [21, 9, 5]. The definition of zigzag functions has been generalized to s-zigzag functions for 2 ≤ s ≤ n. It turns out that zigzag functions are also interesting combinatorial objects, thanks to their relation with self-intersecting codes and orthogonal arrays [2...
