Vortex interactions in helicopter rotor wakes are visualized using enhanced flow visualization techniques, which in turn play a crucial role in understanding the dynamics of these complex flows. Iso-surfaces are clipped in a 3D volume to reduce visual clutter. Flow textures are improved to highlight vortical flow structure and vortex-wake interactions. These visualization techniques are applied...

BACKGROUND Tumor targeting is of high clinical and biological relevance, and major efforts have been made to develop molecular imaging technologies for visualization of the disease markers in tissue. Of particular interest is apoptosis which has a profound role within tumor development and has significant effect on cancer malignancy. METHODS Herein, we report on targeting of phosphatidylserin...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of Mangafodipir trisodium (Mn-DPDP)-enhanced MR cholangiogrphy (MRC) and Gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA)-enhanced MRC in visualizing a non-dilated biliary system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-eight healthy liver donor candidates underwent contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRC. Mn-DPDP and Gd-BOPTA was used in 36 and 52 patients, respectively. Two radiologists r...

A homemade fiber-optic spectrometer has been fabricated for portable and on-site determination of microalbuminuria. The principle of the method was based on particle-enhanced turbidimetric-inhibition immunoassay (PETINIA), which was not affected by the hook effect phenomenon. This method was linear from 0 to 150 mg L (r = 0.987), with a detection limit of 3.01 mg L (S/N = 3). The intra-assay co...

Most management theories include hypotheses about interaction effects (i.e., the relation between two variables depends on values of another), but it is common for articles to present results that make difficult evaluate nature, strength, and importance effect. We offer recommendations improving reporting by focusing (a) visualizations, (b) effect size estimates, (c) assessments meaning, intera...
