BackgroundPatients with chronic kidney disease are at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Chronic exposure to intermittent hemodialysis may be a source of added stress to the cardiovascular system; intradialytic hypotension is a common complication of hemodialysis, and repeated events may lead to hemodynamic stress and ischemic injuri...

BackgroundEndovenous treatment of varicose veins has increased in popularity over the last decade. There remains, however, a degree of uncertainty regarding the role of compression bandaging or hosiery following this intervention. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence Guideline Development Group has advocated further research to evaluate t...

Bipolar plates in phosphoric acid fuel cells require inertness to phosphoric acid as well as excellent electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. For this application, we prepared poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS)-graphite composites with random or ordered graphite orientations by compression and extrusion-compression processes, respectively. Due ...
This project’s goal is to redesign the Center for Vocational Building Technology (CVBT) BP9 earth block press, which makes 1/3 scale compressed earth blocks to build demonstration model homes in Thailand. The full-scale block press, the BP6, provides a sustainable and affordable technique for constructing habitable homes in Thailand. The BP9 serves...
Representing geometry data as voxels allows for a massive amount of detail that can be rendered in real-time. Storing this type of data as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) has recently led to immense improvements in memory consumption, which is one of the main limitations often associated with voxel-based approaches. We present a method for further d...

BackgroundIn recent years, with the development of high-throughput genome sequencing technologies, a large amount of genome data has been generated, which has caused widespread concern about data storage and transmission costs. However, how to effectively compression genome sequences data remains an unsolved problem.ResultsIn this paper, we propose...

IntroductionPost-operative periorbital ecchymosis and edema following rhinoplasty is a well-known sequela of surgery. Unfortunately, this can be a source of distress for patients, resulting in a longer post-operative recovery time and a delayed return to work. Trauma caused by lateral osteotomies is likely the most significant cause of periorbital ...

Improving the temporal resolution of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data is a fundamental factor in presenting the characteristics of the underground structures. The advantages of sparse signal processing using the majorization-minimization (MM) method in GPR signal compression are investigated. In this method, minimizing the cost function is deter...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of spinal stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in treating spinal metastasis with epidural spinal cord compression (ESCC). During 2013-2016, 149 regions of spinal metastasis in 105 patients treated with singlefraction (12-24 Gy) spinal SRS were reviewed. Cord compression of Bilsky...
