A turbocharged diesel engine numerical model, suitable for real-time ship manoeuvre simulation, is presented in this paper.While some engine components (mainly the turbocharger, intercooler and manifolds) are modelled by a filling and emptying approach, the cylinder simulation is based on a set of five-dimensional numerical matrices (each matrix is
ObjectivesTo mitigate the incidence of misdiagnosis and distinguish between gastric fundic tumors (GFTs) and thickened diaphragmatic crura (TDC).Materials and methodsComputed tomographic enterography (CTE) data 5 Piece King Poster Bedroom from 3844 cases and computed tomographic gastrography (CTG) data from 4351 cases were retrospectively analyzed.
Abstract Background The rigorous elicitation of user needs is a crucial step for both medical device design and purchasing.However, user needs elicitation is often based on qualitative methods whose findings can be difficult to integrate into medical decision-making.This paper describes the application of AHP to elicit user needs for a new CT scann
Introduction Oral cancer is a challenging health problem globally.Delay in diagnosis is an important factor in determining the outcome of the disease.It is a major determinant of mortality and morbidity of oral cancer patients.Present observational study was conducted with the objective of finding the factors responsible for delay in diagnosis of o
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a chronic disease, which tends to recur.Whether an abnormal fibrinolytic system is associated with an increased risk of VTE is unclear.We assessed the relationship between fibrinolytic capacity (reflected by clot lysis time [CLT]) and risk of recurrent VTE.We followed 704 patients (378 women; mean age 48 yrs) with a
