Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is currently accepted as an established method of treatment for esophageal superficial neoplasms, although it is associated with some complications [1]. Polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet (Neoveil; Gunze Co., Kyoto, Japan) is an absorbable reinforcement material that has been used for reinforcing the surgical suture to prevent leakage [2]. It has also been repo...

The margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet retreated rapidly during the first few thousand years of the Holocene. During this period of relative warmth, known as the Holocene thermal maximum, ice core records identify a significant short-lived cooling event at approximately 8.4–8.0 ka cal. yr BP (the ‘GH-8.2 event’) associated with a 5–7 1C fall in mean annual air temperature over the centre of the ...

The main goal of this paper is to present an explicit capacity estimate for hitting probabilities of the Brownian sheet. As applications, we determine the escape rates of the Brownian sheet, and also obtain a local intersection equivalence between the Brownian sheet and the additive Brownian motion. Other applications concern quasi{sure properties in Wiener space.

The main goal of this paper is to present an explicit capacity estimate for hitting probabilities of the Brownian sheet. As applications, we determine the escape rates of the Brownian sheet, and also obtain a local intersection equivalence between the Brownian sheet and the additive Brownian motion. Other applications concern quasi–sure properties in Wiener space.

Latest developments in the clinching of sheet materials are reviewed in this article. Important issues are discussed, such as tool design, process parameters and joinability of some new lightweight sheet materials. Hybrid and modified clinching processes are introduced to a general reader. Several unaddressed issues in the clinching of sheet materials are identified.

Hydrogel networks composed of rippled β-sheet fibrils of coassembled D- and L-Ac-(FKFE)2-NH2 amphipathic peptides exhibit proteolytic stability and increased rheological strength compared to networks of self-assembled L-Ac-(FKFE)2-NH2 pleated β-sheet fibrils. Modifying the ratios of l and d peptides in the coassembled rippled β-sheet fibrils alters the degradation profiles of these hydrogel net...

We describe the most general homogenous, planar, light-ray-direction-changing sheet that performs one-to-one imaging between object space and image space. This is a nontrivial special case (of the sheet being homogenous) of an earlier result [Opt. Commun.282, 2480 (2009)]. Such a sheet can be realized, approximately, with generalized confocal lenslet arrays.

When a thin sheet of a flexible material such as paper is fed from a horizontal spool towards a rough horizontal plane below it, the sheet folds on itself in a regular manner. We model this phenomenon as a free boundary problem for a nonlinearly elastic sheet, taking into account the stiffness and weight of the sheet and the height of the spool above the plane. By using a continuation scheme we...

Aerospace industry is a value-added and technology integrated industry. Sheet metal parts are important portion of aerostructures. The sheet metal production line combines five different routing types together. This study tries to make a comparison between job shop layout and cellular layout with lean concept. According to precedence diagram of sheet metal fabrication process, the model and mea...
