BACKGROUND The success of infragenicular revascularisation for lower limb ischaemia is limited by the high proportion of patients without ipsilateral long saphenous vein (LSV) of adequate length or quality. The aim of this study was to report the results of an autogenous vein only policy for infragenicular revascularisation utilising contralateral LSV when ipsilateral LSV is inadequate. The tre...

Mon stage de DEA, dont le mmmoire est ici prrsentt, s'est situu dans le cadre d'une collaboration entre le LSV (ENS Cachan) et l'IRCyN (Ecole Centrale de Nantes). J'ai tt, durant ce stage qui s'est ddroull pour un tiers du temps Nantes et pour deux tiers Cachan, co-encadrr par Alain Finkel (LSV) et Olivier Roux (IRCyN).

BACKGROUND The morphological and functional differences between arteries and veins may have implications on coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) survival. Although subjective differences have been observed between radial artery (RA) and long saphenous venous (LSV) grafts, these have not been quantified. This study assessed and compared the flow characteristics and in-vivo graft flow responses of...

The present paper develops a framework for the analysis and synthesis of linear shift-variant (LSV) digital filters in ,tie frequency domain. First, LSV digital filters are theoretically modeled by the successive use of linear shift-invariant (LSI) filters. On the basis of the model, we present an interpretation of shift-variant spectral modification or filtering. Further, shift-variant digital...

* Linkages between plant growth rate and root responses to soil moisture heterogeneity were investigated. * Root dynamics were studied using genetically identical shoots (Vitis vinifera cv. Merlot) with genetically distinct root systems that promote higher (HSV) and lower (LSV) shoot growth rates (1103P and 101-14 Mgt, respectively). Three quantities of irrigation replenished different amounts ...

Linear scan voltammetry (LSV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and voltammetry with adsorptive accumulation (AAV) at a glassy carbon paste electrode (GCPE) based on mixing glassy carbon spherical microparticles with an organic pasting liquid were used for the determination of trace amounts of carcinogenic 1-nitropyrene (1NP) (the limit of determination around 2.10 mol L for LSV and 2.10 mo...

Our recent work [1] theoretically revealed that speckles can be formed when nanofluids containing a modest volume fraction of nanoparticles are illuminated by a monochromatic laser beam. This paper focuses on the key issues, including the experimental setup, the particle volume fraction of the nanofluid, the flow velocity of the nanofluid and the diameter of the pipe, in measuring the velocitie...

A simple and rapid method for determination of mexiletine in pharmaceutical preparations was developed and validated using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The proposed method was based on electrochemical oxidation of mexiletine at platinum electrode in acetonitrile solution containing 0.1 M LiCIO4. The well-defined an oxidation peak was observed at +1.11 V. The calibration curve was linear for ...

In the stability, sensitivity and predictability studies in geophysical fluid dynamics, linear singular vector (LSV), which is the fastest growing perturbation of the linearized model, is one of the useful tools. However, the linear approximation has strong limitations on the applicability of LSV, since it ignores the nonlinear processes, such as wave-mean flow interactions. The authors have pr...

Conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation (CNOP) is proposed to study the predictability of numerical weather and climate prediction. A simple coupled oceanatmosphere model for ENSO is adopted as an example to show its applicability. In the case of climatological mean state being the basic state, it is shown that CNOP tends to evolve into El Niño or La Niña event more probably than linear sing...
