BackgroundCardiac auscultation is a cost-effective, noninvasive screening tool that can provide information about cardiovascular hemodynamics and disease.However, with advances in imaging and laboratory tests, the importance of cardiac auscultation is less appreciated in clinical practice.The widespread use of smartphones provides opportunities for

The specificity of neural responses to visual objects is a major topic in visual neuroscience.In humans, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have identified several regions of the occipital and temporal lobe that appear specific to faces, letter-strings, scenes, or tools.Direct electrophysiological recordings in the visual cortical

The paper proposes a new methodology for revamping design and optimization of a process piping system.Starting from ASME B31.3 Process Piping prescriptions for stress analysis, a Suitcase nonlinear model is built to express the relationship between stress distribution generated by expansion and sustained loads (pressure, weight) and the geometry an
