Restoration of sinus rhythm by electrical cardioversion is a therapeutic option in appropriately selected patients with atrial fibrillation. It is important to determine predictors of electrical cardioversion outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation. Predictive value of clinical and conventional echocardiographic parameters for predicting cardioversion outcome is limited. The role of left a...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of a combined finite-discrete element program, such as ELFEN, for the simulation and prediction of backfill stope failure risks due to blast loading effects in underground mines. A real size of a backfilled stope blasted in the nearby rock of the paste fill is modelled. The dynamic fracture propagation and fragmentation in rock and the...

Background. It is well known that overarm throwing is one of the most performed activities in the handball. Shoulder and glenohumeral injuries incidence are high in handball because of both pass, and shooting activity was executed repeatedly in high angular speed. Objectives. This study set out to investigate the usefulness of inexpensive commercial inertial movement sensors for prediction of ...

Both cellular motility and intracellular particle movement are compared between normal Dictyostelium amebae of strain AX4 and amebae of a myosin II heavy chain null mutant, HS2215, using the computer assisted "Dynamic Morphology System." In AX4 cells rapidly translocating in buffer, cytoplasmic expansion is apical and the majority of intracellular particles move anteriorly, towards the site of ...

In order to improve the prediction accuracy of blast vibration velocity, model for predicting peak particle velocity using XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) method is improved, and EWT–XGBoost established predict by combining it with EWT (Empirical Wavelet Transform) method. Calculate relative error root mean square between predicted value measured each test sample, compare performance origin...

Spatial and velocity statistics of heavy point-like particles in incompressible, homogeneous, and isotropic three-dimensional turbulence is studied by means of direct numerical simulations at two values of the Taylor-scale Reynolds number Reλ ∼ 200 and Reλ ∼ 400, corresponding to resolutions of 512 and 2048 grid points, respectively. Particles Stokes number values range from St ≈ 0.2 to 70. Sta...

The blast-induced vibration during excavation by the drilling and blasting method has an important impact on surrounding buildings/structures auxiliary equipment. In particular, with development of tunnel engineering, construction attracted extensive attention. Based literature data statistics, this paper first explored performance several commonly used empirical equations in predicting propaga...
