This paper deals with earthquake long term predictions based on multi-state system methodology. As a reference we consider the South America case which was examined (Tsapanos, Bull Geol Soc Gr XXXIV/4:1611–1617, 2001) in ...

Head and neck postures may cause morphology changes to the geometry of the carotid bifurcation (CB) that alter the low and oscillating wall shear stress (WSS) regions previously reported as important in the development of ...

The geometric and hemodynamic characteristics of the left and right vertebral arteries (LVA, RVA) of six healthy volunteers were investigated for the supine (S) and the prone position (P) a common sleeping posture with ...

Segmented cross-sectional MRI images were used to construct 3-D virtual models of the carotid bifurcation in ten healthy volunteers. Geometric features, such as bifurcation angle, internal carotid artery (ICA) angle, ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a micronized formulation of trans-resveratrol in humans with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Trans-Resveratrol has been used in the form of micronized ...

In this paper, we propose efficient algorithms for approximating particular solutions of second and fourth order elliptic equations. The approximation of the particular solution by a truncated series of Chebyshev polynomials ...

We present a new finite element method for solving partial differential equations with singularities caused by abrupt changes in boundary conditions or sudden changes in boundary shape. Terms from the local solution ...

In this study we propose an efficient Kansa-type method of fundamental solutions (MFS-K) for the numerical solution of certain problems in circular geometries. In particular, we consider problems governed by the inhomogeneous ...

We propose efficient fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based algorithms using the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for the numerical solution of certain problems in planar thermoelasticity. In particular, we consider ...
