OBJECTIVE To determine long-term outcome of radiofrequency (RF) ablation of microcystic lymphatic malformation (LM) of the oral cavity for control of recurrent infection and bleeding. DESIGN Institutional review board-approved retrospective study, SETTING Tertiary pediatric medical center, PATIENTS Twenty-six patients with intraoral microcystic LM were treated with RF ablation from August...

We explore the possibility of extracting the weak phase γ from pure tree decays Λb → Λ(D0,D0,D0 CP ) in a model independent way. The CP violating weak phase γ can be determined cleanly, without any hadronic uncertainties, as these decay modes are free from the penguin pollutions. Furthermore, neither tagging nor time dependent studies are required to extract the angle γ with these modes. Typese...

INTRODUCTION This paper is about a new method for vibration modal analysis, which is called the smooth orthogonal decomposition (SOD) based modal analysis method. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) based modal analysis method, which was first proposed by Feeny et.al in 1998, indicates an exciting method for extracting the modal shapes of a vibration system by using only the output displa...

In this manuscript, higher-order Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) modes and parameters affecting vortex in the radiation pattern have been studied. A uniform circular array resonating at 10 GHz frequency is formed using eight identical rectangular patch antennas. Three uniform circular arrays are analyzed, simulated, and fabricated for OAM modes 0, +1, and -1 respectively. The higher-order OAM mo...

Abstract We present a class of systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which we call ‘pod systems’, that offers a new perspective on dynamical systems defined on a spatial domain. Such systems are typically studied as partial differential equations, but pod systems bring the analytic techniques of ODE theory to bear on the problems, and are thus able to study behaviours and bifurcati...

Earthquake dynamic response analysis of large complex structures, especially in the presence of nonlinearities, usually turns out to be computationally expensive. In this paper, the methodical developments of a new model order reduction strategy (MOR) based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method as well as its practical applicability to a realistic building structure are presented....

PURPOSE Twenty percent of patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) experience progression of disease (POD) within 2 years of initial chemoimmunotherapy. We analyzed data from the National LymphoCare Study to identify whether prognostic FL factors are associated with early POD and whether patients with early POD are at high risk for death. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 588 patients with stage 2...
