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...

BACKGROUND Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is used to treat early and select cases of moderately advanced glottic cancer, with results equivalent to those of conventional conservative surgery and radiotherapy (RT). As surgeons and researchers become more experienced and familiar with TLM, they can focus on mechanisms to earlier detect local recurrence, to more effectively preserve laryngeal ...

The approach presented in this paper is a contribution to the methodology of transaction-level modelling (TLM) based on SystemC and the TLM standard of the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI). Different from previously published approaches to the use of SystemC / TLM, we use object-oriented features to represent transactions, namely an inheritance relationship of transaction classes, transaction pol...

Recently, transaction level modeling (TLM) has been widely referred to in system level design community. Due to lower modeling effort yet higher simulation speed, transaction level models are useful for architectural exploration, algorithmic evaluation, hardware-software partitioning and software development. However, TLM can’t be widely applicable to IP level design phase, because the simulati...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional and oncological outcomes of patients treated for T3 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Specifically comparing transoral laser microsurgery and radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy treatment modalities. METHOD A retrospective review of patients treated for T3 laryngeal SCC between 2002 and 2010 was undertaken. RESULTS Forty-nine p...

Tree leaf meals (TLM) are increasingly used in the tropics to feed pigs. The nutritive value of the TLM of cocoyam (Xanthosoma saggitifolium), mulberry ( Morus alba) and Trichanthera gigantea, their effect on the digestive tract and their fermentation rate in the large intestine, were determined in adult sows given diets containing 150 or 300 g TLM per kg. The TLM contained from 8·5 to 12·0 MJ ...

On the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), the interconnection geometry influences the ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and the Signal Integrity (SI). The impact increases when circuits with a non-linear behavior are connected at their terminations. An accurate EMC analysis requires an electromagnetic solver including the model of those non-linear components. The insertion is made via lumped elem...

A new technique which allows the simulation of thin ferrite absorbing tiles in a coarse TLM mesh is described. Results are presented which show a good fit to manufacturers' reflectivity curves. Experimental and simulation results for a screened room partially lined with ferrite are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the method. INTRODUCTION The Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) method of num...

Continuous-flow bioassays were employed to determine 96.hour median tolerance limits (TLm), for the stonefly. Pteronnrcrllu hadia (Hagen) (TLm was 18.0 mg Cd/l) and the mayfly, Ephemerella grundis grarzdis Eaton (TLm was 28.0 mg Cd/l). Ninety-six hours TLm values for other species of aquatic insects tested were not determined, since these species were relatively insensitive to cadmium. Insects ...
