Edge-to-edge repair for mitral valve regurgitation is being increasingly performed in high-surgical risk patients using minimally invasive mitral clipping devices. Known procedural complications include chordal rupture and mitral leaflet perforation....

Imaging subject-specific heart valve, a crucial step to its design, has experimental variables that if unaccounted for, may lead to erroneous computational analysis and geometric errors of the resulting model. Preparation methods are developed to mit...

An algebraic graph is defined in terms of graph theory as a graph with related algebraic structures or characteristics. If the vertex set of a graph $\mathcal{G}$ is a group, a ring, or a field, then $\mathcal{G}$ is called an algebraic structure graph. This work uses an al...

The algorithm MLS (Maximal Label Search) is a graph search algorithm that generalizes the algorithms Maximum Cardinality Search (MCS), Lexicographic Breadth-First Search (LexBFS), Lexicographic Depth-First Search (LexDFS) and Maximal Neighborhood Sea...

The influence of a tubular structure PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell) with different flow patterns is investigated in this study. A complete 3D non-isothermal model is constructed for square and circular tubular PEMFCs, and the distribution...

The chordal ring (CR) graphs are a well-known family of graphs used to model some interconnection networks for computer systems in which all nodes are in a cycle. Generalizing the CR graphs, in this paper, we introduce the families of chordal multi-r...

Food classification is an important part of food safety standards. In this paper, we propose a novel visual comparative analysis method for food classification trees (FCTs) in pesticide maximum residue limit (MRL) standards, called TreeMerge, to lay...

Precisely determining how cables distribute their current-carrying capacity and temperature field is crucial for the dependable and cost-effective functioning of power grids. Firstly, the power cable structure and the advantages and disadvantages of...

Background: Anomalies of the mitral apparatus have been shown to contribute to left ventricular outflow obstruction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We report our 5-year single-center experience with a shallow myectomy procedure as...

Yunnan Dendrocalamus sinicus Chia et J. L. Sun (YDS) is a giant bamboo species with a diameter at breast height of up to nearly 40 cm. It is endemic to Yunnan, China, and only a very small portion of it is directly used as load-bearing beams and colu...

Transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) is used for treating severe mitral valve regurgitation in patients deemed unsuitable for open-heart surgery. However, delays between preoperative workup and therapy can lead to changes in the clinical co...

Pipelines are extensively used in offshore equipment. Accurate and non-destructive measurement of hoop stress conditions within pipes is critical for ensuring the integrity of offshore structures. However, the existing technology to measure the hoop...
