Ultrasound compounding techniques offer the possibility to enlarge the otherwise limited Remote Control field of view of ultrasound.However, existing works mainly rely on larger ultrasound sensors.In this work, we attach electromagnetic (EM) tracking sensors to small tubular echo probes, namely an intracardiac echocardiographic (ICE) probe and a tr
In this work an unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) containing porcelain powder prepared from ceramic waste were fabricated and subjected to various studies.The mechanical properties, thermal stability, and water absorption resistance of the UPR mede and composites prepared for each condition were evaluated.Results show that porcelain powder based co
BackgroundIn New York City (NYC), pneumonia is a leading cause of death and most pneumonia deaths occur in hospitals.Whether the pneumonia death rate in NYC reflects reporting artifact or is associated with factors during pneumonia-associated hospitalization (PAH) is unknown.We aimed to identify hospital-level factors associated with higher than ex
This article presents a new approach to determining the viscosity of Newtonian fluid.The approach is based on the analysis of the secondary Dean flow in a curved channel.The study of the flow patterns of water and aqueous solutions of glycerin in a microfluidic chip with a U-microchannel was carried out.The advantages of a microfluidic viscometer b
Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) fibers, generally used to produce newspapers and carton materials, have United States poor inter- and intra-fiber bonding contributing to low strength properties.Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) was applied as a co-additive of 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA), in the presence of sodium hypophosphite (SHP) as a catalys
