Damage to an intra-aortic balloon occurred on two occasions in 93 insertion procedures. The complication was recognized before gas embolization occurred, and neither patient suffered ill effects. On both occasions the balloon was holed when pinched by artery forceps applied to the 'dacron' graft.

The problem of classifying all tile-k-transitive tilings of the innnite 2-dimensional ribbon (and pinched-ribbon) is shown to be solvable by classifying certain tile-k-transitive tilings of the sphere, for all k 2 N. Complete results are listed for k 3.

A pinched-flow deflection technology was developed for rapid single cell switching between biochemical microenvironments. Millisecond switching was used to stimulate and preserve epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) autophosphorylation transitions. Intramolecular phosphorylation initiates signal transduction, is silenced by phosphatase activity until EGFR dimerization enables intermolecular ...

To effectively use the large supplies of wood material obtained from forest thinning, research focused on developing cross-laminated timber (CLT) structures is increasing globally. However, earthquake resistance CLT considered insufficient owing to relationships between force and deformation exhibiting pinched hysteresis behavior with slippage.

In a previous paper, we proved that quasi-isometric map $$f:X\rightarrow Y$$ between two pinched Hadamard manifolds X and Y is within bounded distance from unique harmonic map. We extend this result to maps $$f:\Gamma \backslash X\rightarrow , where $$\Gamma $$ convex cocompact discrete group of isometries f locally at infinity.
