"Isthmus taping method" as the safe and simple technique for division of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), along with surgical and follow-up results were reported. 175 patients with PDA and without other cardiac anomalies were operated by this technique. Most of the patients were operated by junior surgeons as a first step in cardiac surgery. The left chest was entered through posterolateral thor...

A new modified method based on the Gaussian elimination method for solution of linear system of equations in the projective space is formulated. It is based on application of projective extension of the Euclidean space and use of homogeneous coordinates. It leads to an elimination of division operation and higher precision due to division operation elimination. The approach is based on understa...

Thermoelastic behavior of temperature-dependent (TD) and independent (TID) functionally graded variable thickness cantilever beam subjected to mechanical and thermal loadings is studied based on shear deformation theory using a semi-analytical method. Loading is composed of a transverse distributed force, a longitudinal distributed temperature field due to steady-state heat conduction from root...

Let D be a set of n pairwise disjoint unit balls in R and P the set of their center points. A hyperplane H is an m-separator for D if each closed halfspace bounded by H contains at least m points from P . This generalizes the notion of halving hyperplanes, which correspond to n/2-separators. The analogous notion for point sets has been well studied. Separators have various applications, for ins...

In E. coli the determination of the middle of the cell and the proper placement of the septum is essential to the division of the cell. This step depends on the proteins MinC, MinD, and MinE. Exposure to a constant external field e.g., an electric field or magnetic field may cause the bacteria cell division mechanism to change resulting in an abnormal cytokinesis. To have insight into the effec...
