This paper studies the error in, the efficient implementation of and time stepping methods for a variational multiscale method (VMS) for solving convectiondominated problems. The VMS studied uses a fine mesh C 0 finite element space Xh to approximate the concentration and a coarse mesh discontinuous vector finite element space LH for the large scales of the flux in the two scale discretization....

OBJECTIVE To compare airway infantile hemangiomas (IHs) and venous malformations (VMs) clinically, radiographically, endoscopically, and histologically. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary care pediatric hospital. PATIENTS The study included patients seen in the Vascular Anomaly Clinic, Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, Washington, between 2001 and 2008. METHODS All ...

BACKGROUND Vasomotor symptoms (VMS), such as hot flashes and night sweats, are the most bothersome symptoms of menopause and affect an estimated 75% of women aged over 50 years. OBJECTIVE To discuss the burden, pathophysiology, and management of menopause-associated VMS and to evaluate pharmacologic options available for the treatment of VMS, including herbal remedies, hormone replacement the...

While virtualization enables multiple virtual machines (VMs) — with multiple operating systems and applications — to run within a physical server, it also complicates resource allocations trying to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the diverse applications running within these VMs. As QoS is crucial in the cloud, considerable research efforts have been directed towards CPU, mem...

Last decade, providers started using Virtual Machines (VMs) in their datacenters to pack users and their applications. This was a good way to consolidate multiple users in fewer physical nodes while isolating them from each other. Later on in 2006, Amazon started offering their Infrastructure as a Service where their users rent computing resources as VMs in a payas-you-go manner. However, virtu...

Venous malformations (VMs) are the most common type of vascular malformations, resulting from errors in vascular morphogenesis. Because of the wide variety in their presentations, selecting the appropriate treatment, especially for large VMs, may be challenging. Herein, we report a case of a 59-year-old man with a large VM in the lower extremity who achieved favorable outcomes by complete surgi...

OBJECTIVE The current study characterizes health-related quality of life, work productivity, and resource use among postmenopausal women by severity of vasomotor symptoms (VMS). METHODS Participants were selected from the 2010 US National Health and Wellness Survey. Women aged 40 to 75 years who did not report a history of menstrual bleeding or spotting for 1 year were eligible for analysis (...

BACKGROUND Several studies have documented a significant association between vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and a decrement in health outcomes among postmenopausal women, but these studies have mostly focused on the US. The aim of the current study was to broaden this investigation by examining the burden of VMS symptoms in the European Union with respect to both humanistic and economic outcomes. M...

Because the atmosphere is key to understanding the environmental behavior of volatile methyl siloxanes (VMS), a variety of reliable air sampling methods are needed. The purpose of this study was to calibrate and evaluate an existing, polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymeric resin-based passive air sampler (XAD-PAS) for VMS. Sixteen XAD-PAS were deployed for 7-98 days at a suburban site in Toronto...
