In this work, we introduce the Mimetic Methods Toolkit (MTK), an object-oriented Application Programming Interface for the implementation of Mimetic Discretization Methods in developing computer applications of a scientific nature, where the numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations may be required. The MTK was designed based on the Castillo–Grone Method for the construction of discr...

We present the Mimetic Methods Toolkit (MTK), an object-oriented Application Programming Interface implementing Mimetic Finite Differences to assist in the development of scientific applications, where the numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations is required. The MTK’s design is based on a variant of the Castillo–Grone Method for the construction of discrete differential operators t...

Metakaolin (MTK) has received a lot of interest in the past two decades as supplemental cementitious ingredient. MTK is actively being utilized concrete and there large body literature on characteristics containing MTK. A rigorous evaluation use concrete, however, lacking, which required to better know its benefits, mechanisms, current progress. As result, objective this study deliver an overvi...

ID: 18257 Title: Variability of Physiological Parameters Estimated by AATH and MTK Models in DCE-MRI Purpose:To assess the accuracy and precision of physiological parameters estimated by the modified Tofts and Kermode (mTK) model and the adiabatic approximation to the tissue homogeneity (AATH) model in dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI. Methods:Computer simulations were performed using the ar...

Immunity genes are activated in the Drosophila fat body by Rel and GATA transcription factors. Here, we present evidence that an additional regulatory factor, deformed epidermal autoregulatory factor-1 (DEAF-1), also contributes to the immune response and is specifically important for the induction of two genes encoding antimicrobial peptides, Metchnikowin (Mtk) and Drosomycin (Drs). The system...

We recently demonstrated a role for altered mitochondrial bioenergetics and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in mitochondrial Ca(2+)-sensitive K(+) (mtK(Ca)) channel opening-induced preconditioning in isolated hearts. However, the underlying mitochondrial mechanism by which mtK(Ca) channel opening causes ROS production to trigger preconditioning is unknown. We hypothesized that submaxim...

In conducting criminal investigations it is quite common that forensic examiners need to recover evidentiary data from smartphones used by offenders. However, examiners encountered difficulties in acquiring complete memory dump from MTK Android phones, a popular brand of smartphones, due to a lack of technical knowledge on the phone architecture and that system manuals are not always available....

UNLABELLED Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and viability are essential variables for the prognosis of myocardial infarction and can be measured simultaneously by (201)Tl gated SPECT; however, most algorithms tend to underestimate LVEF. This study aimed to evaluate a new myocardial tracking algorithm, MyoTrack (MTK), for automatic LVEF calculation. METHODS A rest/redistribution (20 m...

Introduction: Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) has been shown its ability to noninvasively assess characterization of tumor by the kinetic parameters, such as volume transfer constant (K) and rate constant (kep). The Tofts and Kermode (TK) model [1] and modification of Tofts and Kermode (mTK) model [2] are both popular pharmacokinetic models. Nonlinear least-squares (NLSQ) method is ofte...
