The proximal anastomosis of the apicoarotic bypass is technically demanding. We describe our novel surgical technique to reinforce the proximal anastomosis of the apicoaortic bypass. After moving circular muscle of the left ventricle (LV) under ventricular fibrillation, an inverted tube graft is inserted into LV through the opening of the apex. Then, end-to-end anastomosis is made with horizont...

Investigation to evaluate axial wall heat conduction has been conducted for heat transfer in a laminar flow circular tube with two classical thermal boundary conditions at the outside wall. The tube ends are either adiabatic or with heat losses. The simulation is three-dimensional with various wall materials, wall thicknesses and tube lengths. A wide range of Peclet number from 7 to 14,000 is c...

Recently Shukurov et al [Phys Rev E 72, 025302 (2008)], made use of nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinate system on a dynamo Moebius strip flow, to investigate the effect of stretching by a turbulent liquid sodium flow. In plasma physics, Chui and Moffatt [Proc Roy Soc A 451,609,(1995)] (CM), considered non-orthogonal coordinates to investigate knotted magnetic flux tube Riemann metric. Here it ...
