with some specific V (x1, x2) (see, e.g. [1–3] and references therein). Saying about the problem of SV in the Eq. (1), we imply two mutually connected problems. The first one is to describe all functions V (x1, x2) such that the equation (1) admits separation of variables (classification problem). The second problem is to construct for each function V (x1, x2) all coordinate systems making it p...

This is a review of analytical methods, such as spectrophotometry, derivative spectrophotometry and various chromatographic (gas chromatography-GC, high-performance liquid chromatography-HPLC, thin-layer chromatography-TLC, high-performance thin-layer chromatography-HPTLC, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-LC-MS, microchip electrophoresis-MCE, capillary electrophoresis-CE) and elec...

in this paper, an advanced formulation of the spectral finite element method (sfem) is presented and applied in order to carry out site response analysis of 2d topographic structures subjected to vertically propagating incident in-plane waves in time-domain. the accuracy, efficiency and applicability of the formulation are demonstrated by solving some wave scattering examples. a numerical param...

Total arterial stiffness plays a contributory role throughout aging and in numerous cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension. Aortic stiffening is responsible for an increased characteristic impedance (ie, the impedance to the left ventricular pulsatile flow), thus increasing the forward pressure-wave amplitude that contributes to pulse pressure elevation. Aortic stiffening also increase...

With the aid of equations (72) and (76) we can determine the horizontal displacement q(t), using its operational representation given in equation (65). 4. Summary.-An exact solution is given for the motion of the surface of a uniform elastic half-space produced by a point pressure pulse situated at a depth H below the surface. The time variation of the pressure pulse is assumed to be given by t...

Abstract A numerical framework was proposed for the seismic analysis of underground structures in layered ground under inclined P-SV waves. The free-field responses are first obtained using stiffness matrix method based on plane-wave assumptions. Then, domain reduction employed to reproduce wavefield model soil–structure system. verified by providing comparisons with analytical solutions cases ...

Background: To compare transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) and TRUS-guided seminal vesicle aspiration in the diagnosis of ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO). comparing the findings of TRUS and TRUS-guided seminal vesicle (SV) aspiration. Materials and Methods: Design: A retrospective case-controlled study comparing the findings of TRUS and TRUS-guided seminal vesicle (SV) aspiration. Setting: Cl...

Although Love waves are widely analyzed in earthquake seismology, there is much less attention on utilizing Love waves than Rayleigh waves by the near-surface community. Unlike incident P and Sv waves, a plane SH wave for a series of horizontal layers refracts and reflects only SH waves, which makes the shallow SH-wave refraction method more popular to define shear (S)-wave velocity in nearsurf...
