Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is a rare benign tumor of the kidney. Occasionally, it may extend into the renal vein or the inferior vena cava (IVC), but so far of pulmonary embolism in patients with renal AML was rarely reported. Here, a case of symptomatic pulmonary embolism secondary to AML that was placed IVC filter before the operation and then treated with radical nephrectomy is reported.This...

‎The notion of (Boolean) uni-soft filters‎ ‎in MTL-algebras is introduced‎, ‎and several properties of them are‎ ‎investigated‎. ‎Characterizations of (Boolean) uni-soft filters are discussed‎, ‎and some (necessary and sufficient) conditions‎ ‎for a uni-soft filter to be Boolean are provided‎. ‎The condensational property for a Boolean uni-soft filter is established.

the error of inertial navigation systems increase versus time, therefore for achieving higher accuracy specially in long time navigations we have to use an aiding system. global positioning system is the best aiding system in this case. in this paper we first simulate a gps and ins; then simulate tightly integration and finally review adaptation method of kalman filtering a fuzzy adaptive kalma...

The topic of Doppler and Bearing Tracking (DBT) problem is to achieve a target trajectory using the Doppler and Bearing measurements. The difficulty of DBT problem comes from the nonlinearity terms exposed in the measurement equations. Several techniques were studied to deal with this topic, such as the unscented Kalman filter. Nevertheless, the performance of the filter depends directly on the...

In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...

This paper presents novel active filter for mitigation electromagnetic interference (EMI) and other adverse effects of pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter-fed AC motor system. An active filter proposed and devised for this system is characterized by sophisticated connection of two small separate filters, capable of mitigating all the adverse effects. This paper provides high frequency models ...

A low-intensity (6 W) light-emitting diode (LED) effectively activated an organotellurium chain transfer agent and the dormant species, promoting well-controlled radical polymerization. The use of the LED provided many advantages over the previously reported high-intensity Hg lamp, including high energy efficiency during the polymerization, and easy availability of the low-cost light source. St...

time reversal (tir) technique is an effective and simple method for data transmission in extremely multipath indoor uwb channels that mitigates the complexity of receiver by its own time focusing feature. although, tir method has the suitable performance, but it is sensitive to the non-ideal channel estimation error. in this paper at first, the bit error probability of tir-uwb communication sys...
