Background Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is a first-line test for anatomical evaluation of the coronary arteries in stable chest pain. Despite technical advances, CCTA requires brea (...)

Background: Centerline semi-automatic measurements (CSAM) of the thoracic aorta have been shown to reduce interobserver variability of diameter measurements. The purpose of this study is to demonstrat (...)

Background Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging is considered the imaging reference standard for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and scarring. The aim of this study is to evaluate a free-b (...)

Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a well-established imaging modality for the assessment of cardiovascular diseases. However, attainable image resolution remains lower than that of X-ray (...)

Background: Commercial 0.55T low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems have recently become available, offering the potential to enhance global accessibility to MRI. T1 rho mapping is an emer (...)

To investigate the redox and volatile evolution of arc magmas linked to supergiant porphyry copper deposits (PCDs), we study zircon and their apatite inclusions from the Miocene-Pliocene intrusive roc (...)

This work presents a dynamic model of a reversible solid oxide cell (rSOC) plant operating under variable solar generation and electricity demand to enable optimal operation analysis. The model integr (...)

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) remains an unpredictable process in winemaking, often leading to sluggish or stuck fermentations. While bacterial starter cultures have been proposed to improve its contr (...)

We examine how criminal activity responds to a large environmental shock in the urban space. We focus on blackouts, which can abruptly change the provision of light and potentially the distribution of (...)

The increase in congestion in surface traffic, airborne pollution, and other environmental issues has motivated transit authorities to promote public transit worldwide. In large cities and metropolita (...)

This study presents the development of a data-driven model for the copper electro-refining process, designed to predict electrolyte composition and evaluate operational scenarios. The system was imple (...)

Radial packed-bed thermal energy storage systems are increasingly researched due to their compactness and suitability for operation over a wide temperature range. However, the hydraulic behavior of ra (...)

This paper presents an experimental investigation of three strengthening strategies aimed at improving the inplane seismic response of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls with arch-type openings. To this (...)

A thorough understanding of esophageal biomechanics is essential for predicting tissue failure and preventing iatrogenic tearing during surgical procedures, such as esophageal atresia repair. This kno (...)

Lately, hospital functionality has been significantly reduced or halted due to the severity of the earthquake-induced nonstructural damage in the hospital's critical rooms. Furthermore, there is a lac (...)

This study characterized urban infrastructure (UI) supporting physical activity (PA) in Greater Santiago (GS), Chile, and examined its spatial distribution. A conceptual model comprising four key dime (...)

This paper studies the emulation-based stabilization of nonlinear networked control systems with two time scales. We address the challenge of using a single communication channel for transmitting both (...)

Problem definition: Multistage stochastic programs involving mixed-integer state variables and continuous local variables (MSILPs) present a challenging class of optimization problems with limited tec (...)

Although Quintero-Puchuncav & iacute; Bay, Chile, is a coastal area historically known to be subject to multiple industrial pressures, few studies have focused on the associated risks to marine ecosys (...)

This work explores for the first time the stability and selectivity of Trametes versicolor laccase immobilized on the glyoxyl support Immobead 150 P. Different buffers (pH 6-10) were tested for enzyme (...)
