This paper presents a new and efficient method for computing the flow of a non-Newtonian fluid. The approach is based on two independent concepts: Time-dependent simulation of viscoelastic flow: A new decoupled algorithm, presented in P. Saramito, Simulation numerique d'ecoulements de fluides viscoelastiques par eRments finis incompressibles et une methode de directions alternees; applications,...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the inter and intra-rater reliability, repeatability, and reproducibility of pulmonary transit time (PTT) measurement in patients using contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), as an indirect measure of preload and left ventricular function. METHODS Mean transit times (MTT) were measured by drawing a region of interest (ROI) in right and left car...

PTT (批踢踢) is one of the largest web forums in Taiwan. In the last few years, its importance has been growing rapidly because it has been widely mentioned by most of the mainstream media. It is observed that its influence reflects not only on the society but also on the language novel use in Taiwan. In this research, a pipeline processing system in Python was developed to collect the data from P...

Tumor Initiating Cells (TICs) are resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and are believed to be responsible for tumor recurrence and metastasis. Combination therapies can overcome the limitation of conventional cancer treatments, and have demonstrated promising application in the clinic. Here, we show that dual modality radiotherapy (RT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) mediated by a single ...

OBJECTIVES We assessed the agreement of body fat and fat-free mass measured by simpler methods against the four-compartment model (4C). METHODS In 60 obese schoolchildren (body mass index ≥95th percentile) between the ages of 8 and 13 y who were recruited from one school in Chile, multicompartmental body composition was estimated with the use of isotopic dilution, plethysmography (BodPod), ra...

INTRODUCTION Transcription factor p53 has a powerful tumor suppressing function that is associated with many cancers. Since the molecular weight of p53 is 53 kDa, it is difficult to transport across cell membranes. Thymidine dinucleotide (pTT) is an oligonucleotide that can activate the p53 transcription factor and trigger the signal transduction cascade. However, the negative charge and high w...

Class I KNOTTED-like homeobox (KNOXI) genes are critical for the maintenance of the shoot apical meristem. The expression domain of KNOXI is regulated by ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1/ROUGHSHEATH2/PHANTASTICA (ARP) genes, which are associated with leaf morphology. In the inverted repeat-lacking clade (IRLC) of Fabaceae, the orthologs of LEAFY (LFY) function in place of KNOXI to regulate compound leaf deve...
