Two-dimensional Euler equations have been solved on an unstructured grid. An upwind finite volume scheme, based on Roe's flux difference splitting method, is used to discretize the equations. Using advancing front method, an initial Delaunay triangulation has been made. The adaptation procedure involves mesh enrichment coarsening in regions of flow with high low gradients of flow properties, ac...

The accurate measurement of local strain is necessary to study bone mechanics and to validate micro computed tomography (µCT) based finite element (FE) models at the tissue scale. Digital volume correlation (DVC) has been used to provide a volumetric estimation of local strain in trabecular bone sample with a reasonable accuracy. However, nothing has been reported so far for µCT based analysis ...

Background: Trauma is one of the most common causes of death in all ages. Considering the prevalence of trauma in the general population, and its costs and complications, it is important to use aiding tools to accelerate the diagnosis in order to act in time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound in diagnosing nerve and tendon injuries in the upper extremities. Metho...

The non-local hyperbolic partial differential equations have many applications in sciences and engineering. A collocation finite element approach based on exponential cubic B-spline and quintic B-spline are presented for the numerical solution of the wave equation subject to nonlocal boundary condition. Von Neumann stability analysis is used to analyze the proposed methods. The efficiency, accu...

UNLABELLED This study investigated the feasibility of quantitative accuracy and harmonized image quality in (89)Zr-PET/CT multicenter studies. METHODS Five PET/CT scanners from 3 vendors were included. (89)Zr activity was measured in a central dose calibrator before delivery. Local activity assays were based on volume as well as on the local dose calibrator. Accuracy and image noise were dete...

This paper introduces a new local asymmetric weighting scheme for the nearest neighbor classiication algorithm. It is shown both with theoretical arguments and computer experiments that good compression rates can be achieved outperforming the accuracy of the standard nearest neighbor classiication algorithm and obtaining almost the same accuracy as the k-NN algorithm with k optimised in each da...
