Vision is difficult because images are ambiguous about the structure of the world. For object
color, the ambiguity arises because the same object reflects a different spectrum to the eye …

Objectives. This study was designed to assess the prognostic value of thallium-201 single-photon
emission computed tomographic (thallium SPECT) perfusion imaging in patients …

Background: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been reported as a safe and
efficient therapy for treating refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) despite optimal medical …

Objectives This study was conducted in order to evaluate the accuracy of a compressed
sensing (CS) real-time single-breath-hold cine sequence for the assessment of left and right …

The present work is devoted to the numerical simulation of crack propagation in engineering
materials whose failure results from void initiation, growth and coalescence. The behaviour …

Background: The potential benefit of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients
with nonsevere aortic stenosis (AS) and heart failure is controversial. This study aimed to …

Objectives Our objectives were to evaluate a single-breath-hold approach for Cartesian 3-D
CINE imaging of the left ventricle with a nearly isotropic resolution of $$1.9 \times 1.9 \times …

Under dynamic adiabatic conditions, the plastic work is known to dissipate into heat and
induce thermal softening. From both theoretical and numerical viewpoints, the proportion of …

Ductile fracture of metals by void nucleation, growth and coalescence under positive stress
triaxiality is well admitted. This is not the case when metals are submitted to negative stress …

This paper deals with the numerical simulation of the dynamic failure of a ship structure
steel plate under near-field air-blast loading. Various energetic levels of air-blast loading, …
