Despite considerable interest in two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators (TIs), a fundamental question still remains open how mesoscopic conductance fluctuations in 2D TIs are affected by spin-orbit interaction (SOI). Here, we investigate the effect of SOI on the universal conductance fluctuation (UCF) in disordered 2D TIs. Although 2D TI exhibits UCF like any metallic systems, the amplitud...

We report the case of a 66-year-old man with heart failure NYHA class IV treated with biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization. The patient was evaluated by real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography before and 48 hours after pacemaker implantation. The use of three-dimensional echocardiography contributed to understanding the underlying mechanism involved in cardiac r...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of using symmetrically rotated apical long axis planes for the determination of left ventricular (LV) volumes with real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE). METHODS AND RESULTS Real-time 3DE was performed in six sheep during 24 haemodynamic conditions with electromagnetic flow measurements (EM), and in 29 pati...

Results are presented for the largest experimental study to date that investigates the comparison and combination of 2D and 3D face recognition. To our knowledge, this is also the only such study to incorporate significant time lapse between gallery and probe image acquisition, and to look at the effect of depth resolution. Recognition results are obtained in (1) single gallery and a single pro...

We construct a deformation of any ($0+1$)-dimensional theory $N$ bosons with $SO(N)$ symmetry which is driven by function conserved quantities that resembles the root-$T\overline{T}$ operator (2D) quantum field theories.

stem cells are self-renewing cells that can be differentiated into other cell types. conventional in vitro models for studying stem cells differentiation are usually preformed in two-dimensional (2d) cultures. the design of three-dimensional (3d) in vitro models which ideally are supposed to mimic the in vivo stem cells microenvironment is potentially useful for inducing stem cell derived tissu...

Let B H t be a d-dimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H ∈ (0, 1). Assume d ≥ 2. We prove that the renor-malized self-intersection local time ℓ = T 0 t 0 δ(B H t − B H s) ds dt − E T 0 t 0 δ(B H t − B H s) ds dt exists in L 2 if and only if H < 3/(2d), which generalizes the Varadhan renormalization theorem to any dimension and with any Hurst parameter. Motivated by a resul...

Consider n sensors placed randomly and independently with the uniform distribution in a d−dimensional unit cube (d ≥ 2). The sensors have identical sensing range equal to r, for some r > 0. We are interested in moving the sensors from their initial positions to new positions so as to ensure that the d−dimensional unit cube is completely covered, i.e., every point in the d−dimensional cube is wi...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS In order to provide guidance for using measurements of left ventricular (LV) volume and ejection fraction (LVEF) from different echocardiographic methods a PubMed review was performed on studies that reported reference values in normal populations for two-dimensional (2D ECHO) and three-dimensional (3D ECHO) echocardiography, nuclear imaging, cardiac computed tomography, ...
