Dual scattering channel schemes extend the transmission line matrix numerical method (Johns’ TLM algorithm) in two directions. For one point, transmission line links are replaced by abstract scattering channels in terms of paired distributions (characteristic impedances are thus neither needed, nor in general defined, e.g.). In the second place, non-trivial cell interface scattering is admitted...

The transmission-line modelling (TLM) method has been widely applied to many areas including electromagnetic and heat conduction problems. Its unstructured version, TLM (UTLM), however, not hitherto fully exploited in thermal diffusion This paper derives detail a UTLM scheme solve the two-dimensional equation numerically based on optimal Delaunay triangular (ODT) mesh.

Thiolactomycin (TLM) is an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial type II fatty acid synthesis at the condensing enzyme step, and beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase I (FabB) is the relevant target in Escherichia coli. TLM resistance is associated with the upregulation of efflux pumps. Therefore, a tolC knockout mutant (strain ANS1) was constructed to eliminate the contribution of type I se...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this report is to identify relevant literature reports on salvage transoral laser microsurgery (TLM); to consider its oncologic and functional outcomes, as well as reported complications; and to address indications and limitations of salvage TLM. FINDINGS The weighted average of local control after first salvage TLM was 57%. Repeated TLM procedures for second or t...

Aim: To compare laryngeal preservation rates, survival rates, and voice outcomes after treatment of early glottic cancer between transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) and radiotherapy (RT). Materials and methods: A review of oncologic results was performed on a consecutive series of individuals with early-stage glottic carcinoma (T1 and T2) who were treated between 2011 and 2014 at Kidwai Memorial...

BACKGROUND Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is a mature approach to supraglottic cancer, while transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is emerging. The present study compared these approaches. METHODS The first 10 patients (2002-2005) given TLM were compared with the first 10 (2007-2011) given TORS for cT1-3 cN0-cN2c supraglottic cancer. RESULTS A feeding tube was used in four TLM and seven TORS...

TLM (Transaction-Level Modeling) was introduced to cope with the increasing complexity of Systems-on-Chip designs by raising the modeling level. Currently, TLM is primarily used for system-level functional testing and simulation using the SystemC C++ API widely accepted in industry. Nevertheless, TLM requires a careful handling of asynchronous concurrency. In this paper, we give a semantics to ...
